Research

Comprehensive automation and monitoring of critical deck systems: demersal and pelagic winches, and active heave compensation.

Research vessels worldwide rely on SILECMAR for comprehensive automation and monitoring of critical deck and onboard systems. Our expertise covers demersal winch control, pelagic winch monitoring, and active heave compensation, providing the accuracy, flexibility, and oversight essential to successful scientific missions.

What we solve on board

  • Demersal winch control during handling.
  • Pelagic winch monitoring, with tension and speed per cable.
  • Active heave compensation when deploying and recovering equipment.
  • Synchronised acquisition of scientific instrumentation and navigation data.
  • Remote campaign monitoring from ashore.
