On the high seas, crew, machinery, and IT equipment are exposed to harsh conditions, including extended temperature ranges, humidity, and vibrations. Systems must work together reliably and guarantee safety to man and machine at all times. This applies also to KVM equipment connecting users and computers aboard vessels and offshore platforms.
KVM systems optimize decision-making and communications in 24/7/365 environments. The DKM KVM Matrix switching system is fully compliant with the IEC 60945 major accreditation, which allows the implementation alongside maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems. This makes it an ideal solution for several naval applications that entail monitoring and control of critical processes and data.
Since most equipment used on vessels at sea must undergo a compliance process designed to ensure that it is able to survive the ocean's harsh environment like shock and vibration specifications, the IEC-60945 specification entails rigorous testing regarding this environment, security and electromagnetic compatibility, meeting international standards.
Whether on land or at sea, maintain everything in ship-shape order. Transmit and analyze geographical data and more in real-time to keep an even keel on operations from sea to shore.
Distribute and visualize events, wayfinding, and scheduling information on screens throughout a cruise ship or other passenger boat. Travelers stay informed of events and schedule changes in real-time so they can update their plans.
Use your displays more effectively. Make waiting times entertaining, promote your cruise ship’s restaurants' menu offerings or attract more people to your events. Reach any screen, share multiple content on a single screen, or create video walls.
Secure your operations and protect from unwanted tampering to keep crew and passengers safe. Guard doors and external access points to prevent crimes, or control remote security cameras.
Keep system management and troubleshooting easy. Monitor operations remotely from anywhere on the globe via secure VPNs.
Commercial and passenger ships must meet stringent industry standards. Build a one-of-a-kind, flexible and resilient control room solution for efficient, fail-safe operation.
Overcome the challenge of extreme environments that have temperature variations while at sea or on the shore.
Designed with both current and future systems compatibility in mind, choose solutions that will meet your maritime needs now and later.
Remotely control conditions of hatch doors, bays, bulkhead systems, water, power and many more at unmanned areas. Automated rules and early alerts to the control room prevent unwanted incidents.
Overcome distances from technical equipment rooms to bridges. Get full and instantaneous control of video and peripheral signals, and connect your PCs and equipment throughout the whole vessel.
Reliable monitoring and control of systems. Bring all relevant data to a central control room and switch between multiple systems and users, e.g. in Vessel Traffic Services (VTS).
Video and peripheral control of various systems allow reliable monitoring and instantaneous control of processes on offshore platforms.
Compelling video and audio distribution keeps passengers informed about board activities, promos, carrier offerings, and entertaining content.
Monitor access and control systems of unmanned vessels during berthing or docking time.
Real-time access and visualization of local and remote systems allows operators instant decision-making and control.
Extend KVM signals and peripheral signals such as audio, USB, PS/2 and serial data signals, plus HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI.
