Wärtsilä NACOS MULTIPILOT Platinum

Radar, ECDIS and conning data integrated into a single and simple interface for maximum situational awareness.

Overview

Over the last decade, the MULTIPILOT has become a synonym for a modern multifunctional Navigation workstation in the Marine Industry.

Part of the Platinum Family of integrated vessel control systems, the MULTIPILOT Platinum is built on a common hardware and software architecture. The workstation hardware consists of a marine certified electronics unit with multiple Display options, different functional keyboards and a sensor interface jointly connected to a managed network switch.

The MULTIPILOT makes all key Navigation applications such as RADARPILOT, ECDISPILOT & CONNINGPILOT available from a single device, flexibly configured to the meet the requirements of the individual wheelhouse arrangement. It provides integrated operation of our TRACKPILOT Track Control system.

Platinum and the MULTIPILOT are truly scalable solutions - in a stand-alone configuration, the MULITPILOT can work as a single Radar Display or ECDIS. Fully integrated Navigation systems are formed by connecting several MULTIPILOT workstations through a redundant network ring architecture.

When the Platinum Navigation system is integrated with Platinum Automation or Platinum Dynamic Positioning, the MULTIPILOT can also be configured as a DP Operator Station or Monitoring and control workplace for the vessel automation.

Finally, the flexible System architecture of Platinum allows for integration of a variety of 3rd party systems, such as CCTV, FLIR Camera or forward looking sonar, making the MULITPILOT the tool to operate much more than just the primary Navigation applications.

FLIR Integration

NACOS Platinum allows a type approved integration of a network based Multi-sensor FLIR camera (daylight and infrared camera). The Camera is connected through a secondary network. The camera view is available on a Conning page and allows operation by a virtual Joystick.

Compatible with FLIR M Series Cameras.
Requires additional hardware.

FARSOUNDER Forward looking Sonar integration

The FARSOUNDER Forward Looking Sonar is integrated to NACOS Platinum as a client application to the FARSOUNDER System (Server). Up to 4 Platinum Operator Workstations can be connected as clients through a separate network. 3D view of the seabed in front can be combined with ECDIS monitoring utilizing a two display monitor setup for a workstation.

Requires additional hardware.

Dynamic Environmental Data overlay

Layer based visualization of environmental data such as ocean current, wind, air pressure and wave height for the time line of predicted data.
Requires environmental data subscription service.

FUGRO Docking System integration

FUGRO Docking system is interfaced to NACOS Platinum using a DPU2020 serial interface unit. Docking information such as lateral distance to berth, lateral speed and FUGRO sensor data quality are displayed on a customized conning page available at MULTIPILOT operator workstations featuring CONNING Functionality.

Requires additional Hardware.
