• Using satellite uplinks,NightWatch can upgrade
the monitoring system of
any ship with the click of a mouse.• The solution has beendeveloped as a template
so future implementations
proceed smoothly quickly.• PCs are located around the ship in places where
an industrial panel might
seem architecturally inappropriate—such as
the captain’s state room. The Captain can view the general status of dozens of systems at a single glance, assessing the generalhealth of the ship almost instantly. Background Crystal blue water. Sugar-white
sands. These are the images that
yachting connotes for most of
us. And indeed these images are
congruent with the idea of pleas-
ure-boating. But ask any yacht
Captain, and he'll tell you that
these beautiful, sea-going pleas-
ure craft can comprise dozens of
complex systems that must be
constantly monitored. This real-ity is particularly true of the
mega-yachts enjoyed by the
wealthy today.At one time large boats, whilecomplex, were built with systems
that could be monitored manu-
ally, and the information
required to manage them was
relatively simple to interpret.
Not so today. Modern yachts areequipped with complex propul-
sion, electrical, fuel, lighting,
and alarm systems. All of these
systems must be constantly
monitored to ensure that they
are properly working, becausean unexpected breakdown can
be costly and, at times, even
dangerous.
A modern 120'–150' pleasurecraft can require over 400 different
analog and digital checkpoints
that must be simultaneously
monitored. Such complex tasks
