Core Capabilities / Advantages

ECDIS Color Calibration

The Winmate Marine Displays and Panel PCs can be adjusted daylight, dusk, or night mode to accommodate any lighting situation. The CIE x, CIE y, CIE z are measured from 63 color tokens per mode (Day, Night, and Dusk). These color settings are calibrated at the factory to achieve accurate color reproduction referred to by the IEC 61174 Standard. In the ECDIS-color calibrated models, quick function keys allow instant brightness adjustment to any three modes.

ECDIS Color Calibration

DNV certificate

The DNV certificate is considered a high-quality seal, certifying the suitability of a Marine display, rugged panel PC, and embedded PC for use in the oceanic sector. The IEC requirements define maritime computing solutions' standard quality, safety, and security.

DVN GL

The present name has been in place since the 2013 merger between DNV (Det Norske Veritas) and GL (Germanischer Lloyd). The name simplification is a natural consequence of a completed merger and has operated as a fully integrated company for several years now.

Remi Eriksen, Group President, and CEO said, “We merged two leading companies with complementary strengths and market positions, and combining the two names was the right solution in 2013. However, it was not a name that rolled off the tongue, and many customers already refer to the company as DNV. Our brand is used by many of our customers to build trust towards their stakeholders, and a simpler name will be an even stronger trust mark for our customers in the future, but still carries with it all our strengths and proud 157-year-old legacy with a purpose to safeguard life, property and the environment.”

IEC 60945 Certification

Approval to satisfy the industry's stringent security and safety demands. All instruments and components used in the ship's bridge, even those that form a minor part of the critical framework, must be evaluated under the IEC 60945 criteria and regulations. DNV-GL (or some of the other certified and identified third-party communities of distinction) will perform an audit.

IEC60945

Equipment wished to be used in navigation and radio communication systems is to comply with IEC Publication No. 60945, "Maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems – General Requirements- Method of testing and required test results."

Ultimate Touch Experience

Winmate Marine display and Panel PCs are built with optical bonding technology. It offers an accurate touch experience, ruggedness, and longevity. The optically bonded monitor also provides better clarity and sunlight readability, suitable for bridge workstations, ship command centers, etc.

Winmate’s panel PC and HMI feature brilliant display with projected capacitive touch screen and several features tailored for marine applications. Convenient user interface and functionality of application-focused marine panel PC and HMI give ship navigation officer precise location information and details of the journey. The use of the electronic chart system, allow ship’s navigating crew to pinpoint locations, and attaining directions much easier than before.

Engine Room

The control room uses the total integrated systems for all aspects of ship operation which includes engine room operation, cargo operation, navigation, and general administration.

Empowering Maritime Navigation

Maritime navigation is a complex endeavor that requires precision, reliability, and adherence to stringent regulations. Central to the safety and efficiency of maritime operations is the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), a critical component installed on ship bridges to provide real-time navigation data and facilitate route planning.

Navigating Success at Sea

Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) stands as a cornerstone in modern maritime technology, offering precise control over a vessel's position and heading amidst varying environmental forces. Leveraging Winmate Marine PPC and Box PC solutions, maritime industries unlock unprecedented efficiency and accuracy in DPS applications across a spectrum of marine endeavors.

Navigating Maritime Excellence

In the ever-evolving world of maritime navigation, precision and reliability are paramount. Winmate's ECDIS-compliant Computers, including the 19-inch ECDIS Color Calibrated Panel Computers, have emerged as game-changers, revolutionizing marine applications and setting new standards for efficiency and accuracy.

Advanced ECDIS Navigation Display for Multipurpose Patrol Ships with NATO Standards

A leading European defense contractor specializing in advanced maritime solutions launched on the development of a Multipurpose Patrol Ship (MPS), a key strategy in creating dual-use vessels. Designed to perform military operations while being adaptable for peace-time missions such as disaster relief, anti-pollution efforts, and humanitarian aid, the ship required exceptional versatility and modularity.

Marine PC Monitor in Bridge Workstation

Winmate’s marine panel PC was installed as a part of a marine bridge system designed to plot and monitor a vessel's position. The system features Automatic Identification System (AIS) Class B transport and electronic chart system. The updates of charting material are distributed to the craft through Wi-Fi router installed on board.

Port Management

The customer looked for tablets that can be carried around in hand and mounted in vehicles. Winmate offers a rugged tablet computer for the client to mounted in cars or carry on hand; it is user-friendly and easy to use. For better communication, our tablets offer 4G LTE WWAN, WLAN, GPS, and BT for port management solutions; also, they are certified by MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards. Winmate solution brings you ruggedness and helps to increase productivity.

Industrial Computing for Energy of Tomorrow

Natural gas, the cleanest burning fossil fuel, has formed an increasingly important role in meeting the growing global demand for energy while helping to mitigate climate change. Natural gas is plentiful, but some of its resources are in remote locations. Transporting gas long distances by pipeline can be costly and impractical the solution. The liquefied gas process will shrink its volume to about 600 times, providing easier, more economical, and safe transportation by ship. When the boat arrives at its destination, the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is transferred to a regasification plant where it is heated and returned to its gaseous state to be transported by pipelines to customers providing cleaner-burning natural gas and energy for homes and Industry.
