Consideration of marine-approved monitors and panel PCs.
Marine Certification Standards: Monitors and panel PCs used in marine environments often need to comply with stringent certification standards. This includes those set by DNV (Det Norske Veritas), which is a prominent certification body in the maritime industry. Compliance with DNV standards ensures that equipment is capable of operating reliably under the specific conditions encountered at sea. Other certifications might include standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), and similar authorities.
Environmental Resistance:
The equipment must be capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions such as saltwater exposure, high humidity, and wide temperature fluctuations. Features typically include corrosion-resistant materials, watertight seals, and robust construction to ensure longevity and reliability in a maritime environment.
Display Quality:
High-quality displays are essential for visibility in the varying lighting conditions typical in marine settings, from bright sunlight to complete darkness. Look for high-brightness, anti-glare screens with wide viewing angles, and options for night mode or dimmable displays for nighttime use.
Vibration and Shock Resistance:
Marine equipment is subject to constant movement and occasional heavy impacts. Monitors and panel PCs must be ruggedized to handle these conditions without failure or loss of functionality.
Touchscreen Functionality:
Many marine monitors and panel PCs come equipped with touchscreen interfaces for ease of use. These should be designed to remain functional in wet conditions and when operated with gloves.
Size and Mounting Options:
Given the space constraints on vessels, the physical size and available mounting options of the equipment are important considerations. The equipment should be adaptable to the space available on the vessel.
Connectivity and Integration:
Integration with other navigation and control systems is crucial. This requires compatibility with various types of input/output ports and network standards to ensure seamless operation with existing systems on the vessel.
Power Consumption and Heat Dissipation:
Energy efficiency is particularly important in marine settings, as is effective heat dissipation, due to the often confined spaces where the equipment is housed.
Service and Support:
Reliable after-sales service and support are critical in the maritime industry, where equipment failure can have serious consequences. This includes easy access to spare parts and technical support. We always know that this is importent for our customer and do our best to give the best and fast support.
Customization Options:
The ability to customize the equipment to meet specific needs, such as additional interfaces, specific software compatibility, or custom form factors, can be a significant advantage.
