About Integrated Bridge System
When we need to maximize our shipboard efficiency and safety, Integrated Bridge System is the ultimate solution. Our intuitive system provides excellent performance and reliable navigation in extreme conditions, by bringing together data from all on-board systems and navigation sensors.
An Integrated Bridge System (IBS) is defined as a combination of navigation aids, equipment and sensors, which are interconnected in order to allow centralised access to sensor information and to enable effective Bridge Resources Management from workstations, with the aim of increasing the safety of the ship and her navigational efficiency.
The purpose of IBS is primarily to enhance the operational efficiency on board ships by provisioning of Bridge navigation information in a networked environment to all users / operators from various workstations. The system solution is based on well established marine standards, COTS technology and local product / maintenance support.
With fitment of IBS, it would be feasible to have Radar, ECDIS and Conning information available at all positions thereby increasing the operational effectiveness while catering for redundancy in case of failure of any one display. The IBS shall provide an Integrated solution and Functional capabilities for all Navigation sensors ensuring better safety of navigation and higher operational effectiveness.
Using modular, open design architecture, any combination of VisionMaster navigational equipment can be integrated to provide an efficient bridge design for any vessel. The modular system fully integrates third party equipment to enhance and maximise the feature set of the VisionMaster IBS.
Key Benefits
Improved Safety
When safety is your priority, you can depend on the IBS function of total network sensor integration to deliver enhanced situational awareness.
Reliable sensors support the core navigation system with all relevant data, which is distributed and monitored by a fully redundant data and alarm management system.
An uncomplicated display presentation simplifies and streamlines navigational tasks. It is designed for easy operation to allow maximum time for observation and decision-making. Common responsibilities such as safe navigation, route planning, navigational status monitoring, log-keeping, alarm awareness and day-to-day chart management are made easy through common workstation layouts via harmonised menu structures.
Total Flexibility
Based on our successful range of VisionMaster products, the Integrated Bridge System is designed for all types of vessels, from tugs, oil tankers to containers and cruise ships. The system is also fully adaptable to meet the specific needs of all sea-going vessels and the particular requirements of customers
