FT NavVision® is a powerful modular conning, monitoring & control system for maritime applications. It replaces all instrumentation, alarm panels and switchboards and allows control and monitoring of all data and equipment such as engines, generators, pumps, refrigeration and hydraulic systems. It is possible to use each module standalone or to combine it with other modules. A close eye was kept on the ease of control and the use of touch-screen technology. FT NavVision® is a flexible and easy-to-use system that is one of the most reliable and easy to install systems for vessel-navigation and control. Service, if needed, can be arranged by remote maintenance. Radio Holland is distributor of FT NavVision®.

FT NavVision® is based on the principle that there can be as many servers and client computers as required. With a single additional embedded computer, a redundant system is created in which, theoretically, breakdown is no longer an issue. The theory has been proven true by multiple (more than 1000) successful installations. Requirements for approval by Lloyds Register, Bureau Veritas, Rina and other licensing companies are integrated in the current software; also for smaller ships.

At this point, FT NavVision® is capable of easily and completely automating any vessel. In comparison with traditional systems, FT NavVision® is intuitive and easy to operate with many more options than other systems.

Human Factor

The FT NavVision® system is designed with the human operator in mind and is a user-oriented application, offering a logical overview of vessel management functions. This, together with physical integration of modern hardware components and equipment, makes the system a logical solution that is easy to use.

To provide the necessary flexibility for today and the future, engineering methods have been applied to ensure that support, modular design and realisation for a high degree of hardware independence can easily take place. The use of “state of the art” technology and commercially available hardware supports cost effective replacement of components, as well as any possible future modifications. All used components are selected for their ability to operate in an open system environment, meeting the latest standards on user interfaces and communication protocols.
