Floating infrastructure isn’t just hardware & steel — it’s smart hardware. Specialized marine chips and embedded systems optimized for reliability, durability, and performance at sea are essential for navigation, safety, monitoring, automation, and autonomous vessels.
Winmate marine-grade embedded systems: Winmate offers marine embedded computers and panel PCs built to meet DNV, IEC 60945, and IACS-E10 standards. Their systems serve ship automation, monitoring, navigation, and surveillance duties.
Wisemaker rugged marine PCs & displays: Wisemaker’s units are waterproof, high-brightness, corrosion-resistant, and rated for harsh deck or engine room environments. Used in bridges and outdoor marine systems.
Galleon rugged servers & data recorders: High-performance, SWaP-optimized servers and mission computers from Galleon are used for data acquisition, processing, networked storage in marine and naval deployments.
Edge-powered obstacle detection: eWaSR network model: eWaSR is a maritime obstacle detection network adapted to run on embedded compute platforms. It balances performance and hardware constraints to support navigation safety in floating systems.
These marine chips and embedded systems are foundational tech for The Floating Economy. They allow floating platforms and vessels to sense, decide, and act at sea — even under extreme conditions.
