Over the last few years many ships and boats have been equipped with computers for various purposes. When depending on computers, users raise the demands on their systems in terms of reliability and environmental performance in salt water and outdoor environments.

JLT computers are built for the most demanding situations at sea as they are resistant to salt water, vibration, shock, temperature change, electrical interference and more. Displays with extreme brightness are viewable in direct sunlight as well as in complete darkness.

Typical applications on the sea and in docks are:

Monitoring
Our computers environmental performance makes them ideal for handling and monitoring goods, docking, and machinery. With the addition of fast wireless communication and application software, our units comply with the most demanding requirements for data and communications.

Navigation and safety
Navigation and steering of machinery, vehicles and boats has reached new levels in recent years. Reliable computer systems such as ours are taking control of machine guidance and aiding in emergency situations. Computers are also used to monitor the handling of lifeboats and rescue equipment.

Meteorological data
Applications can collect various meteorological data and constantly get updates from satellites providing a valuable function to vessel operations when connected to other instruments.

Sailing racers use this data to calculate the optimal navigation of their boats and to estimate weather changes and course corrections. With a combination of GPS and digital nautical charts, sailors gets superior navigation systems and can avoid most dangerous situations on the water.
