Fanbeam 5 has many advantages as a laser position reference sensor
- Highly complementary to differential global positioining systems (DGPS), which can degrade when close to larger structures.
- Quick and easy to install and mobilise.
- Provides independent redundancy against other position reference systems.
- Cost effective, using passive, inexpensive targets, which can be permanently installed virtually anywhere.
- Used by major DP system integrators for over 20 years, and are recognised by classification bodies and international standards.
- Easy to operate, with thousands of dynamic positioning operators (DPOs) familiar with the system.
Fanbeam 5 is the laser system for dynamic positioning that:
- makes target acquisition and tracking more reliable
- gives DPOs clear and simple access to the data they need
- uses advanced algorithms to predict position, calculate confidence and suggestion solutions to difficulties encountered during operations
- offers service models that keep fleets working, wherever vessels are in the world
