Groke Pro is a situation awareness solution that utilises different sensor inputs and fuses the information from them together. As outcome the user gets analysed situation overview on what is happening around the vessel. Through our intelligent Groke Pro solution we aim to provide peace of mind , even in the most challenging conditions.
Sensor Unit
The main component in our system is the sensor unit. The unit is specifically engineered and made for maritime situation awareness use by Groke Technologies. Unit includes integrated sensors such as double GNSS, inertial measurement unit, AIS reciever and most important are the two camera entities, one with 225 degrees field of view with day camera and the other with 180 degrees field of view with thermal camera.
Planning: Route planning for the voyage (The system adopts route plan from ECDIS or another route planning module)
Control: Automated command input to the autopilot and BMS for planned route tracking and collision avoidance (Auto Mode, CA Mode)
Based on the current regulations of maritime navigation/manoeuvring equipment, the TCS function of the ECDIS is the only way to exchange signals with autopilot. In order for HiNAS2.0 to control autopilot, HiNAS2.0 uses the same protocol as TCS. In other words, from the perspective of autopilot, regardless of which equipment the command signal is from ECDIS or HiNAS2.0, it is possible to send and receive signals with the same protocol. In this case, neither ECDIS nor autopilot needs to modify hardware and software, so there is no need to undergo new inspections or certificates for existing equipment.
