Garmin® launches OneHelm, an integrated solution for controlling boat systems from a single display
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN), today
announced OneHelm™, an integrated solution designed for third-party
companies that brings the power and convenience of controlling onboard
boat systems like digital switching, lighting, stabilization and more,
to a Garmin multifunction display (MFD). This intuitive solution makes
the boating experience more automated and fluent at the helm, while also
eliminating the need for multiple control displays and devices.
“The MFD is the command center of a boat helm; it’s the most visible
display and the most utilized. With that in mind, OneHelm simplifies
control and customization of the boat’s most crucial systems to one
master source – the Garmin MFD,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president
of global consumer sales. “We’re fortunate to work with so many industry
brands to incorporate their systems and technologies into OneHelm, and
look forward to adding more soon.”
Since becoming available late last year, Garmin is excited to announce
that the systems and technologies of the following companies have been
integrated into OneHelm:
-
Böning Ship Automation specializes in ship monitoring and
control systems aiming for seamless integration with the vessel’s
navigation system. Böning develops and manufactures devices and
systems for nearly any monitoring and control task on board, as well
as the corresponding human interfaces, with user friendly
visualization and custom control panels. -
CZone’s digital switching simplifies operation by combining
multiple circuits into predefined modes. CZone offers effortless
monitoring oversight of key systems, and advanced control of
individual circuits and functions. With a focus on partner
integration, CZone delivers a leading solution for onboard automation. -
Lumishore builds advanced high-performance underwater LED
lighting solutions for boats of all types and sizes from RIBs to
Superyachts. Their Lumi-Link™ plug-&-play MFD integration lets boaters
take full control of their Lumishore EOS or SUPRA lighting system
directly from their MFD with Lumishore’s full functionality. -
The Carling Technologies® OctoPlex® system puts the user in
complete control of all AC and DC loads. The system utilizes NMEA
2000® to allow monitoring and control of common marine devices,
including remote AC breaker management and auto AC load shedding with
immediate alerting of electrical issues, while reducing installation
complexity and weight. -
The global leader in marine stabilization, Seakeeper’s
innovative technology changes the boating experience by eliminating up
to 95 percent of all boat roll, the rocking motion that causes
seasickness, fatigue and anxiety. Seakeeper offers a growing selection
of models for an expanding range of boat sizes. -
Shadow-Caster LED Lighting manufactures marine lighting and
control products, and offers a full line of sizes and features to
cover small skiffs to large yachts. They specialize in lights that are
exceptionally bright, robust and efficient. Shadow-Caster’s Shadow-NET
protocol is paving the way for new standards of lighting control in
marine applications.
