Ride quality monitoring packs sales sting

The Dyena Acceleration Recorder (DaccR) is proving to be a valuable tool for the development and comparison of fast boats. Traditionally, most boat operators have relied upon subjective comparison to evaluate the differences between vessels. With constantly varying sea or weather conditions, coupled with personal bias, this is not an accurate method for a reliable comparison.

A small portable data logger, the DaccR can be fitted in any position for simple analysis of a boat’s performance and ride quality. Sampling at 2,400 times per second, the DaccR continuously monitors the shock and vibrations received by the vessel structure and stores the data to the onboard solid state memory, alongside position, speed, heading and time.

“Being able to demonstrate the speed and comfort of Scorpion Ribs in an easy to understand format to our customers allows the boats to sell themselves”, said Scorpion Ribs owner Patrick Byrne.

Other users of Dyena systems include the UK Royal Navy, US Navy, US Department of Homeland Security and the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
