Anschütz: Autonomous "Wavelab" on the fjord

Gepostet von | 16 Aug 2023 | , , , , | 0

Anschütz has set up a remote control system for ships in its new control centre and successfully monitored and demonstrated the control of the motor vessel (MV) "Wavelab" in real time in the maritime test field on Kiel's inner fjord. Anschütz writes that the MS "Wavelab" is a research platform for autonomous and semi-autonomous navigation of the Clean Autonomous Public Transportation Network (CAPTN) initiative in Kiel. Access control The control centre is used to access sensors and navigation systems on board and to remotely control the ship's steering and propulsion. For this purpose, a complete digital twin was set up in the control centre and supplied with all the data collected by the existing and experimental sensors and systems on board.
