Delivering a dynamic positioning system
IGT fan beam control panel brings stability and precision to critical maritime operations.
The Client: MDL Laser Systems - world leaders in innovative laser measurement technology.
The Challenge: To design and develop a fan beam control panel that allows the user to interface with the operating system in a rolling sea, with day and night visibility.
IGT's Solution: A fully integrated glide pad and illuminated control panel, sealed to IP66, with full tactile feedback, and with text and symbols illuminated.
The Result: The Fanbeam ® 4.2 Laser Radar - a laser-based positioning sensor giving repetitive, high accuracy range and bearing measurements from offshore support vessels and other marine structures. The system automatically holds the vessel on station allowing essential operations to take place.
The fanbeam control panel is used on a daily basis as the primary position reference during critical short-range operations such as cargo container lifts from platform supply vessels. It is also used extensively for seismic source positioning relative to geophysical exploration vessels, and for positioning mine detection equipment relative to Navy vessels.
