Advanced Alarm and GNSS Systems by AMTS International

In the ever-evolving maritime industry, the integration of advanced technologies is paramount to ensure safety, efficiency, and precision. AMTS International stands at the forefront of this innovation, offering state-of-the-art alarm and monitoring systems alongside high-accuracy GNSS positioning systems.

Alarm and Monitoring Systems

AMTS International's alarm and monitoring systems are designed to provide comprehensive oversight of all critical onboard operations. Centralized displays, typically located in the wheelhouse and engine control room, present real-time data, ensuring that crew members can promptly respond to any arising issues. Additional repeater panels in crew areas further enhance the ability to anticipate and address alarms swiftly.

These systems support both manned and unmanned engine rooms and are modularly expandable to integrate various functions. This includes tank-level monitoring, CCTV integration, power management systems (PMS), bilge alarms, navigation light control, valve control, window wiper control, ballast control, and anti-heeling control. Such versatility ensures that vessels can be equipped with a tailored solution that meets their specific operational needs.

Compatibility with a wide range of engine manufacturers, such as Caterpillar, MTU, MAN, Volvo Penta, Cummins, and FPT, is a hallmark of AMTS International's systems. Utilizing protocols like J1939, Modbus, and even analog signals, these systems can seamlessly integrate into existing setups. Moreover, the possibility of remote vessel monitoring for fuel consumption, fleet oversight, and maintenance further enhances operational efficiency.

All systems represented by AMTS International are type-approved by leading maritime classification authorities, including DNV, Lloyds Register, ABS, GL, and Bureau Veritas, ensuring compliance with international standards.

High-Accuracy GNSS Positioning Systems

Precise positioning is crucial for specialized vessels such as hydrographical survey ships, dredgers, and offshore vessels, including walk-to-work vessels and lift boats. AMTS International possesses in-house expertise to provide tailor-made solutions, whether it's a highly accurate GNSS positioning system or a more advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for survey projects. These systems offer comprehensive physical movement detections of the vessel, including measurements of pitch, roll, heave, sway, and surge.

Vessels equipped with Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems benefit from reduced movements, leading to lower fuel costs and decreased engine maintenance. Survey vessels with multibeam sonar can achieve improved bottom profiling and data interpretation when paired with an advanced IMU system.

With years of experience in RTK and PPP positioning systems and collaborations with renowned correction providers like Fugro, Veripos, Trimble, Novatel, Hemisphere, and C-NAV, AMTS International offers complete solutions tailored to specific project requirements. For temporary projects or DP trials without a ship's survey GNSS system, rental solutions are available, providing high-accuracy GNSS equipment for short or extended periods at competitive rates.

Integration and Advanced Features

AMTS International's DP systems are designed to reduce the number of onboard equipment, utilizing marinized computers for years of error-free operation in harsh environments. An operator panel with a 3-axis joystick, complemented by touchscreen operation, ensures ease of use for DP operators.

For large exploration yachts and ferries, special applications can be implemented, such as integration with zero-speed stabilizer systems, shadow mode, docking assist mode, wireless remote control with integrated color LCD, ice-mode, and more. Interfacing with various thruster and propulsion configurations, including CPP, Voith Schneider (VSP), azimuth thrusters, or fixed tunnel thrusters, is standard. Optional functions like integration with PMS for power load monitoring, autopilot, remote control via tablet and iPhone, and more can be incorporated to create a comprehensive vessel control system.

The autopilot function is adaptive, meaning it collects all ship characteristics and behavior to facilitate smooth course steering with minimal corrections. Integration with onboard ECDIS systems allows for fully automatic route or waypoint following. Together with other sensors like high-accuracy GNSS positioning, Fiber-Optic Gyrocompass, and Motion Reference Units, an unparalleled Dynamic Positioning system with high maneuverability and precision is achieved.

Conclusion

AMTS International is committed to delivering advanced alarm and monitoring systems and high-accuracy GNSS positioning systems that enhance maritime operations' safety, efficiency, and precision. With a focus on innovation and quality, AMTS International continues to lead in providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry.
