Ship assisted docking system SMIDS Pro

SMIDS Pro is Commercial Maritime’s most economic and accurate SDME (Speed Distance Measuring Equipment) system using state-of-the-art technology to provide vessel Distance to Berth and Course Prediction options. Uses high accuracy, multi-constellation GNSS Positioning. A Transmitting Heading Device (THD), with an integral GNSS heading sensor. Recall previously visited berth locations. A Primary or Secondary Heading Device. Predictive Berthing Assistance. SMIDS Pro Type Approvals IEC 61023:2007 – Marine Speed and Distance Measuring Equipment (SDME) IEC 61108-1 – GNSS Receiver Equipment ISO 22090-3:2014 – Transmitting Heading Device (THD) Why should you install the new SMIDS Pro? Reduce docking and departure times. Reduce carbon emissions. Increase ship safety with a reduction in the risk of damage to the vessel, berth and crew. Simple retrofit installation on the move, with no interruption to the ship’s voyage. Cost-effective solutions to statutory requirements for secondary equipment (heading, positioning and SDME). Future option to allow Remote Access to recorded voyage data. Playback Software included. Benefits of the SMIDS Pro Globally reliable, accurate and unaffected by debris in river/estuary water, disturbed silt, or cavitation. Stern, Bow and Midships distance to berth information to assist with berthing. Predictive Course indication. Displays and logs voyage time and total distance travelled. The SMIDS Pro is accurate to 0.01knot for speed and has an increased accuracy with 10 Hz velocity measurements. Redundancy in position and heading measurement. Distance data in addition to velocity data. No equipment is required dockside.
