The Future of Marine Applications

Digitalization and automation offer great opportunities for Maritime 4.0 applications. Not only are continued efficiency gains expected for commercial shipping, but also for cruise shipyards and tourism companies. Yet with increasing shipboard digitalization and networking aboard ships, the risk for cybercrime and data misuse also increases. WAGO meets the rigorous challenges of modern shipping with a full array of maritime certified solutions.

Why use WAGO?

  • WAGO Controllers are designed to enable secure ship-to-land communication, data collection, control and networking of onboard subsystems.
  • The PFC controller family carries all the necessary maritime certifications and approvals for use in hazardous areas.
  • WAGO's modular solutions are customizable to meet the ever-changing requirements of seagoing vessels, further enabling the rapid deployment of future developments.

Tank Ballast and Cargo Management

Maintaining stability in rough seas is vital for sea-bound freighters. A reliable tank ballast system can serve as a ship's life insurance policy against incorrect trim, heel or draught. Likewise, rapid loading and unloading can be simplified with an automated cargo management system. WAGO’s automation-equipped emergency shutdown system ensures the safe continuity of essential processes when encountering extreme fault-conditions at sea.

Why use WAGO?

  • WAGO products meet the rigorous demands of a wide range of marine certifications such as DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BSH (near the compass) and more.
  • Because they are designed to be modular and scalable, WAGO's marine products are adaptable to a wide range of applications that require customized solutions.
  • As standard shipboard equipment on cruise ships, WAGO has years of experience protecting human and material resources at sea.

Deck Handling and Cranes

In rough seas or in environmental protection zones, tugboats and cranes must be ready for action at any time. In the Marine Industry a competitive advantage comes to those who offer “around the clock” services consistently. Automated winches and machines on deck provide this when maneuvering at sea. Direct control and parameterization allow for automated processes at key points along the tool chain to further add to this cost-saving advantage.

Why use WAGO?

  • The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM features compact, specialty modules for the direct control of proportional valves.
  • All relevant data from the drive system can be collected by the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 and in the event of a service call can be accessed remotely.
  • Proportional valves may be parameterized via WAGO-I/O-CHECK,our easy-to-use commissioning software.

Demanding Cabin Automation

Even during the most challenging of times, holiday cruises have remained extremely popular, prompting a justifiable rise in onboard demands for comfort as well as safety. WAGO’s range of cost-effective, reliable interconnection solutions form the reliable electrical architecture upon which these onboard amenities can be realized. These same solutions can be adapted to meet additional needs in the realm of fire and hazard safety.

Why use WAGO?

  • The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM enables access to a wide range of HVAC and Building Automation libraries that are applicable to marine cabin automation.
  • Our products are perfectly tailored to meet the requirements of onboard fire alarm systems and comply with the DNV GL and the MED Directive.
  • Cabin wiring installations can be simplified, color-coded and mechanically coded using WAGO's WINSTA® or X-COM® pluggable systems.

Cybersecurity on the High Seas

With increased digitization and networking aboard ships, the risk for data abuse and cybercrime also increases exponentially. Anyone considering the possibilities of Maritime 4.0 must also consider the increased requirements for cybersecurity – and more importantly, find suitable solutions for implementing it. WAGO understands this need and provides a range of effective cybersecurity solutions.

Why use WAGO?

  • WAGO establishes such VPN tunnels using OpenVPN or IPsec directly from the WAGO PFC200 Controller, for example.
  • The WAGO controller additionally records relevant measurement and control data, encrypts it directly using SSL encryption and transmits the data via a VPN.
  • Our Media Access Control Security switches provide an additional layer of point-to-point security with high network performance and no noticeable latency.

Big Data for Big Ships

While IIoT continues to adopt specific forms for implementation in process automation environments, the first cyber-physical systems and cloud-based network structures for maritime operations have a long way to go before they are ready for sea travel.

Efficient System Integration Through Service-Oriented Software in Automation

Today, all data is already collected by the terabyte on many ships. However, the work of shipyards and system integrators is complicated by the ubiquitous requirement to create the conditions for data collection.

Maintenance in Record Time

System wiring on drilling platforms is a major challenge. The WAGO-X-COM®S-SYSTEM reduces work on site to a minimum.
