M.Y Akiko - Seatouch Upgrade

Now sailing in her new home port - Perth, M.Y Akiko is Alloy's AY35 (VvS1) reincarnated during her recent refit at McMullen and Wing Yacht Builders.

Into
Due to the age of her original touch-screens & PLC's there had been some minor reliability issues plaquing Akiko's alarm, monitoring & control systems. The solution was to upgrade all three touch screens to brand-new units hosting Version.6. Seatouch software - and perform maintenance on the PLC's.
Her 10-year refit was an opportune time to perform this work, in conjunction with her power generation system upgrade we also assisted with. 

New screen - Key features

  • Rugged, Industrial cast aluminuim enclosure rated IP67
  • Latest LCD screen technology
  • LED backlighting giving 100% adjustment of brightness

  • Built in BNWAS (Bridge Navigation Watch Alarm System)
  • User selection of numerical or bar-graph readouts

  • Mechanical metering of  Kohler generator engines


Project Wrap
Requiring a team at McMullen & Wing Yacht builders here in Auckland, New Zealand over a 6-month period we seamlessly worked in with M&W's own electricians & contractors. Coming in on budget & on time was challenging due to our overseas commitments occurring at the same time as this local project. The team at Attest all pulled together and got it done late in 2016 allowing Akiko to depart just before New Year's Eve bound for Perth. 

We look forward to supporting Akiko whether it's via our internet connection to Seatouch, providing custom AY electrical parts, or simply just answering the phone when they call.

An awesome outcome for everyone involved!
