BERTHING AID SYSTEM (BAS)
The MARIMATECH BAS is based on laser
measurements; the most accurate method available. The laser BAS was introduced in 1989 eventually replacing the former technology of sonar and radar in 1995. With the accuracy and reliability that this technology offers it has become the standard.
PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
The data is available from the office PC, which will be running the MARIMATECH Dockmaster Windows software.
There are a number of different ways to present the information to the operators outside. The most common way is to use the large displays typically mounted on the jetty, which can be seen up to a range of 300 metres. Another option is to use hand held pagers or PDA’s.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The devices in the MARIMATECH systems are linked by using LMS4 Ethernet building blocks.
The LMS4 is a unique designed microcomputer with a built-in LAN switch, memory and enough processing power to preprocess the raw data from sensors such as lasers etc.
The benefit of the LMS4 design is that the PC is no longer the central computer but just a monitor.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
MARIMATECH is a specialist in system integration. Not only do we integrate our own systems but also other relevant systems on a marine jetty complex. In most cases the central control cabinet is designed for the individual system according to the client’s standards. This covers, support relevant to UPS, cable data networks, fibre optical networks as well as wireless networks of various technologies. Back-up systems on different levels are our specialty as well as LAN/Ethernet solutions.
