Furuno Italia recently has launched a new Integrated Control System for medium size super yachts.
According to Furuno this system marks a significant improvement in integrated navigation management, combining advanced technology with unprecedented functionality in a single, user-friendly solution.
The system is designed to offer complete control and simplified management of on-board operations. The Furuno Integrated Control System features three central 24” Hatteland monitors, accompanied by a curved operational console with two 22” TZtouchXL Multifunction Displays and two MCU006 Remote Control Units on either side.
In the central position, reserved for the operator, are the helm, engine knobs, BNWAS reset button, and the FM8900S marine VHF radio. Completing the setup are a gyro repeater and the new NAVpilot-1000 autopilot.
Furuno to enhance operational efficiency
On the right side, the system integrates a 10” panel PC, a dimmer panel for managing the Hatteland displays, and a RCU030 trackball. The system’s sources include two TIMEZERO multifunction systems, a Furuno FAR-3000 chart radar, and a FARSOUNDER forward- looking sonar.
The rack houses a TVCC IRIS CCTV system and simulations of the Böning Alarm Monitoring and Control System. Among the most notable technological innovations is the seamless switching feature, which allows uninterrupted switching between different sources directly from the displays, enhancing safety and minimising distractions for the operator.
Additionally, the dynamic Multi-View display offers the ability to adjust the screen size of a specific source and recall up to five configurable presets, all managed with a simple double- click of the trackball.
The Integrated Control System ensures total control and integrated management of all on-board navigation and monitoring systems. The intuitive user interface, along with the ability to customise layouts and views, significantly enhances operational efficiency and the overall navigation experience, Furuno says.
