SCADA makes yachts and super yachts safer and easier to captain

摘要

Instant and accurate man overboard location is just one of many features that SCADA technology is offering to transform the safety and comfort of pleasure sailing. Products4Automation's SCADA expert Paul Hurst casts an eye over of the technology transfer from industrial process plant to luxury yacht Fifty years ago, people were saying that automotive technology had reached maturity and could not be developed much further, but time has told a very different story. By embracing complementary new technologies and working on constant incremental improvements, automotive engineers have long since left the Morris Traveller and Ford Anglia behind. Now MR Automation is doing the same with marine technology - moving the concept of a pleasure craft on from a simple 'hull and engine' to a super yacht bristling with luxury and with a control system that encompasses engine management, navigation and GPS positioning, meteorology, and cabin comfort systems.
