S.Y Red Dragon - Seatouch V6

Upgrade of her Seatouch (AMC) touch screens and software to V6

Into
Due to the age of her original touch-screens & PLC's there had been some minor reliability issues plaquing Red Dragon's alarm, monitoring & control systems. The solution was to upgrade all eight touch screens to brand-new units hosting Version.6. Seaouch software - and perform maintenance on the PLC's.
Her 2019 winter work period was an opportune time to perform this work, in conjunction with her flybridge dashboard upgrade that we also assisted with.

Project Wrap
Requiring a team in Palma over a 4-week 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 Red Dragon II - whether it's via our internet connection to Seatouch, providing custom AY electrical parts, or simply just answering the phone when they call.
