PROJECTS

M.Y Polly - Seatouch Upgrade

M.Y Polly (ex. Como) underwent refit at Lauderdale Marine Center where she received new Seatouch screens & Ver.6. graphics.

Into
Due to the age of her original touch-screens & PLC's there had been some minor reliability issues plaquing Polly's alarm, monitoring & control systems. The solution was to upgrade all three touch screens to brand-new units hosting Version.6. Seaouch 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
  • Screen brightness auto-dims due to built-in ambient light sensor
  • Operating system can be either industrial HMI or Windows7 environment
  • Allows remote access & control for software updates and long term support
  • WiFi connectivity to on-board IPad, IPhone and Android devices

Project Wrap
Requiring a team in Ft Lauderdale over a 3-month period, preceded by design and programming from our Auckland office made for demanding times but a VERY satisfying result. Pleased to say that we delivered this upgrade on-time and within budget receiving good feedback on the new graphics and system functionality from the ships engineer.

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