TRELLEBORG MARINE SYSTEMS
TRELLEBORG’S SAFEPILOT BEIDOU SYSTEM –
PROFESSIONAL PILOTING SOLUTION
INTRODUCTION
Trelleborg is embracing the modern Chinese GNSS
system, BEIDOU. With the CAT I BEIDOU product
used in combination with our SafePilot app, our
Chinese customers can choose the GNSS system to
use on the fly.
SAFEPILOT
Trelleborg’s SafePilot (for iPad) is a new generation
of navigation & piloting software designed by a
dedicated team of dedicated software programmers
working closely together with marine pilots
worldwide.
The user friendly PPU software with touch
screen technology is built on an intelligent kernel
for handling multi-layered charts. And adding
unbeatable features with integration of requirements
from pilots of practical functions, easy and handy
operation as well as flexible software packages.
CAT ROT
The CAT ROT is a small and compact pilot unit
primarily designed to connect to a ship’s AIS pilot
plug and transmit data via Wi-Fi to the Pilot’s tablet/
notebook.
AIS is primarily intended for information, but not
navigation. The AIS data format available from the
pilot plug does not provide sufficient resolution in
heading, nor in rate of turn. These parameters is,
however, vital from a navigational perspective. In
particular, if quality predictions are of the essence.
The CAT ROT is designed to overcome the
shortcomings of the AIS pilot plug data format
by generating an accurate real time rate of turn
and providing the missing decimal readings to
the heading data via an integrated rate sensor,
intelligent processing and advanced Kalman filter
integrated into the unit.
CAT I BEIDOU
The SafePilot CAT I Beidou is a stand-alone high
accuracy GPS receiver with the capability of GPS/
Beidou and available SBAS systems such as
EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS and GAGAN.
CAT I Beidou is an add-on option to a CAT ROT for
operations that demand more accurate positioning
than the ship’s own positioning. CAT I Beidou
enables the users to freely switch GNSS types
between the US GPS and the Chinese Beidou.
The magnetic bottom of CAT I facilitates easy and
speedy set-up of the unit on the bridge wing of a
ship.
All the data collected are transmitted to the pilot’s
display via Wi-Fi connection, ensuring a stable long
range.
The preferred positioning systems can be selected
through SafePilot software.
