IMTECH MARINE - ELECTRONIC CHART DISPLAY INFORMATION SYSTEM

Imtech Marine Germany (former HDW-Hagenuk Schiffstechnik) is a specialist for electrics and electronics in the markets of cargo, merchant, offshore vessels and mega yachts. Its unique selling point is the combination of excellent pre- and after sales services to ship owners with cost-effective production based on European / German designs. Covering a wide range of products, The company provides whole ship solutions and equipment such as power and automation as well as navigation and communication equipment.  

The Imtech SeaGuide Electronic Chart Display Information System has been designed according to the latest ECDIS regulations and is based on the well known Hagenuk ECDIS2000. The Graphical User Interface of SeaGuide ECDIS is simple and intuitive to operate.

SeaGuide ECDIS includes Route Monitoring, Route Planning and Check Route functionalities as well as the real-time display of the ships’ position, which are safety advantages that cannot be realised with paper charts. The Imtech SeaGuide Data Matrix offers highest flexibility in the connection of ships’ sensors, which makes the Imtech SeaGuide ECDIS very easy to install in different type of bridge systems.

The sensor interface is designed for easy configuration and installation for new-building and retrofit projects, using an intelligent system configuration tool. The navigation network distributes the sensor data and is used to synchronize ECDIS functions such as Chart Handling, Route Planning on and user inputs on all ECDIS stations. The SeaGuide ECDIS supports different types of TFT-displays from 19” standard to 27” widescreen monitors.

Features

The basic System consists of an embedded Mini PC processing unit with display and input devices and a data collection unit for the navigation sensor data, the SeaGuide Data Matrix. SeaGuide ECDIS offers a two-way redundant data connection between the data matrix and the processing unit both via an Ethernet navigation network and direct serial line.
