Imtech SeaGuide ECDIS


The Imtech SeaGuide Electronic Chart Display Information System has been designed according to the latest
ECDIS regulations and is based on the well known Hagenuk ECDIS2000.
The Graphical User Interface of SeaGuide ECDIS has an improved system architecture and ergonomic
menu structure, which is simple and intuitive to operate.

SeaGuide ECDIS includes Route Monitoring, Route Planning and Check Route functionalities as well as the
real-time display of the ships’ position, which are safety advantages that cannot be realised with paper charts.
The intuitive and easy to use ‘Dual Fuel’ Chart Handler reads official encrypted (S-63) ENC´s (vector charts) as well
as raster-chart data from British Admirality (ARCS), offering a high degree of freedom for our customers
with regard to the procurement of chart material.

With Imtech SeaGuide we achieved to combine our long time experience with a robust system architecture and
state of the art marine certified components with solid state technology.
The SSD technology, the use of rugged fanless high performance Mini PC combined with a simple and straight
forward system architecture makes our system highly reliable and therefore cost efficient for our customers.

The basic System consists of an embedded Mini PC processing unit with display and input devices and a
data collection unit for the navigation sensor data, the SeaGuide Data Matrix.
SeaGuide ECDIS offers a two-way redundant data connection between the data matrix and the processing unit
both via an Ethernet navigation network and direct serial line.

The Imtech SeaGuide Data Matrix offers highest flexibility in the connection of ships’ sensors, which makes the
Imtech SeaGuide ECDIS very easy to install in different type of bridge systems.
The sensor interface is designed for easy configuration and installation for new-building and retrofit projects,
using an intelligent system configuration tool.

The navigation network distributes the sensor data and is used to synchronize ECDIS functions such as
Chart Handling, Route Planning on and user inputs on all ECDIS stations.
Sensor Data Management is integrated in the SeaGuide ECDIS and support sensor data merging of
navigation sensors.
Sensor Data Management also includes automatic switching/degradation management in case of failure
of a sensor or communication.
By merging the available information, one set of navigation data is distributed to all ECDIS Stations in the system.

The SeaGuide ECDIS supports different types of TFT-displays from 19” standard to 27” widescreen monitors.
In addition, changing the monitors without loosing the ECDIS colour calibration is no more a vision,
since Imtech SeaGuide ECDIS contains an intelligent self tuning and colour calibration function.

The optional Conning Display is a useful overview for the main navigational and engine sensor data and includes
an ENC chart viewer.
The ENC Chart viewer provides with graphical feedback of the ship’s position in relation to the route and
actual route parameters as well as chart information.
The Chart Handling Display offers all functions to
manage the authorisation and permit handling
as well as to load and delete charts.
The actual permit -and chart status is available in
graphical and alphanumerical form.
The use of the function is identical for all
types of charts..

The optional Conning Display is built in accordance


to class requirements.
The display for navigation and main engine
information can be adjusted to ships
specific parameters.
A graphical mimic with its alphanumerical value
and sensor source information is well organized
for a quick situation overview.
The ENC chart viewer offers a automatic
navigation situation picture of the own ship
corresponding to a route.

The optional Radar Overlay function allows a quick


verification of the own ship´s position and therefore
a predication for the accuracy of the EPFS
