OnLogic Presents Computing Solutions for Maritime Operations

Industrial computing and edge solution specialists OnLogic has launched a new range of DNV certified industrial computing solutions designed to solve the global maritime industry’s technical challenges. This lineup of hardware offers pre-certified reliability for critical bridge, control room, and engine room applications.

Solving Maritime Computing Challenges

For maritime operators, system integrators, and equipment manufacturers, using uncertified hardware on a vessel can lead to immediate failure during audits, potential loss of vessel certification, and operational delays. Also, because commercial hardware lifecycles are often short, integrators can face constant redesigns and re-certifications.

As a solution, OnLogic is offering DNV certified solutions. These systems have been tested to meet the international standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and environmental resilience, ensuring they can be installed on the navigation bridge, in control rooms, and in critical infrastructure areas without interfering with sensitive communication equipment.

These solutions are optimized for three primary use cases:

• Navigation bridge and integrated console systems: Powering Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) and radar data interfaces.
• Engine room monitoring and energy optimization: Serving as data acquisition gateways for telemetry, such as vibration, temperature, and fuel consumption.
• Secure fleet management and offshore IoT: Consolidating data from shipboard sensors and transmitting aggregated information to shore-based operations.

"The maritime industry demands hardware that is as robust as the vessels themselves," says Michiel Schillemans, director Europe. "Our goal is to provide a reliable foundation that allows integrators and fleet managers to focus on their core mission rather than worrying about hardware failure at sea. By providing DNV certified systems, we are helping our partners navigate compliance, withstand rough environmental conditions, and ensure their technology remains viable for years to come."

Certified for Harsh Environments

The OnLogic maritime-ready line includes a range of rugged and industrial systems, as well as hardened panel PCs and touchscreens. 

Key features include:

• DNV certification: Verified compliance for high-stakes environments.
• Fanless options: By eliminating the need for fans, these systems resist internal damage from dust and other airborne debris.
• Longevity through design: OnLogic provides a controlled bill of materials and 5+ year product lifecycles to eliminate obsolescence and mid-project redesigns.
• Modern and legacy connectivity: Platforms are configurable with connectivity to interface with shipboard systems, including multiple COM and LAN ports, to bridge older navigation sensors with modern Ethernet, wireless, and IoT networks.
