3D Dredge Monitoring & Limiting  System

This system is fully dynamic and allows for zoom, pan, rotate, etc. allowing the operator to inspect different angles and views in detail. The multibeam Sonar adds to this package building an actual 3D representation of the sea bed beneath the vessel. Know what is down there before and after you dredge. In dredging operations this system is extremely useful for tracking and customer feedback. As the vessel travels over more and more areas a sea floor map is generated and stored in the system for reference and viewing. This map can then be laid out into Navigation Software that place the detailed sea floor map into the 3D navigation software and mapping package. Please note that third party payment agreements are required to maintain accuracy of this mapping system and is sold separately.

Historian - 
Historian is simply a data logging system with many additional features. This system stores sensor and operational data for future playback and also offers the ability to publish this information in many different formats such as spread sheets, graphs and charts. This is similar to a DVR system. The amount of storage is limited to the amount of data collected, frequency of data collected and storage capacity supplied with the system. We also offer full 3D system playback and additional 3D mapping features as desired. 

Buoyancy Point System -
Draft gauges are used along with ballasting and tank level indications to monitor the changing center of gravity and live load changes and give live and accurate indication of vessel water level positioning and at times.  

Dutycycle Monitoring - 
Service alerts based on actual system use, loading and actual leg travel.  Other factors can also be incorporated into this system. Overload & event monitoring and alerts is also included with this system. The service alerts are based on the DNV recommendations for system life cycle, service and adjusted to match OEM engineering data. Adjustments can be made to match actual wear found during system service or adjusted based on calculated wear due to an overload situation or catastrophic event. Manual data entry into the system is made via the main control to update when a service interval is performed with part specific forms and service life estimation adjustments allowed via master key. All tracking takes place in the system and is sent out via data connection via packets when a connection is made or becomes available. This system can also be combined with a historian (discussed below) for tracking and replay of system operation. We offer monitoring service along with these systems scalable as desired.

Spare Parts Tracking System - 
We build a system specific recommended spare parts tracking system. We find that the spare parts recommended by most manufacturers are not sufficient to guarantee system uptime often lacking simple control system items that the system cannot operate without. We recommend a hierarchy system based on the critical level of the parts recommended and estimated lead time to source a replacement (fleet wide spare vs onboard spares etc). It is up to the customer to determine to what level to maintain the spares. The system will red flag missing tier 1 spares, orange flag missing tier 2 spares, and yellow flag missing tier 3 spares. Spares data entry is offered through the main control and stored in the control system databanks with packet updating via data connection to outside monitoring devices and servers. Alerts can be turned on to alert purchasing when a spare is marked used. The model code information along with pictures and location of the spare part in the system is stored in the system and sent to purchasing to speed up and maintain the correct spares purchase. Print outs can be made in spread sheet form to appease class or contract inspectors at any time. We can also supply apps for the purpose of accessing this information from the office end allowing for a fleet wide tracking system as needed.

When it comes to Dredging Systems we offer only the best systems with the latest technology available. From Dredge ships with suction dredges to barge mounted backhoe dredge boats our systems offer the most reliable and accurate information available for sea floor modification indication and 3D mapping. These systems are typically monitoring systems only although they can be added on to any existing control and if a complete control system is desired we can offer that solution as well.
 

Our systems come standard with the following components

3D multibeam Sonar & Nav System -
We offer 3D visualization packaged as an add-on monitoring system that tracks location, an accurate sea floor 3D map with ship motion and live 3D material removal estimations for easy tracking of sea floor modification and dredge pattern. This 3D visualization also incorporates a 3D model of the entire vessel and live interaction with the seabed, water level, waves etc.
