RH Marine introduces next generation of vessel automation
RH Marine has used the opportunity afforded by the Europort exhibition in Rotterdam to launch its next generation Alarm, Monitoring and Control Systems (AMCS).
The new Rhodium AMCS is the successor of the widely used UniMACS and FT NavVision automation systems. Being completely modular and scalable in terms of configuration and complexity, the future-ready Rhodium AMCS is just as suitable for large naval vessels or mega yachts as it is for tenders, ferries or workboats.
By using a mesh network topology (providing multiple paths from sensor to workstation the data can follow), multi-server system architecture, and embedded software, the Rhodium AMCS is described as a highly reliable and a durable foundation for a vessel’s automation. A wide range of data security measures guarantee the safe and secure operation of the automation system.
The Rhodium AMCS is said to be ‘a modular and fully scalable automation solution to accommodate any vessel of any size’. Rhodium AMCS is made up of a wide array of readily available hardware and software components. The exact configuration and combination of these components is uniquely tailored to the client’s specific needs.
The Rhodium AMCS is available in four versions: Light, Basic, Full and Extended. Each version offers a specific set of functionalities and features, compliant to the applicable rules and regulations.
