Developing modular systems for use in maritime applications: Joachim Salm describes the development of the EPC Nautic product family of computers and monitors

摘要

There was a time when ships sailing the seven seas were made of wood and used sailcloth. Now container ships use high-tech equipment to navigate the routes. The technology used on board has been continuously developed to meet the specialized requirements. It is a fascinating sight to watch ships from all over the world sailing into the Hamburg port like a string of pearls. However, the scene does not provide any suggestions as to the complex tasks performed reliably and swiftly by way of the technology used on such container ships.
