Since its inception, the automatic identification system for ships has become a core technical means for maritime traffic management, ship monitoring, and navigation safety. As a key node of the AIS system on the shore side, the performance of AIS shore based base stations directly determines the coverage range, data quality, and system reliability of the entire coastal AIS network. The AIS BS600 launched by Kongsberg Seatex (now Kongsberg Discovery) is a fourth generation AIS shore based base station that integrates software defined radio technology, high-sensitivity reception, built-in storage, and remote management capabilities, providing advanced infrastructure solutions for coastal maritime management agencies, port operators, and maritime traffic services.
In modern offshore oil and gas extraction and transportation operations, helicopters are key tools for personnel and material transportation. However, the deck of offshore platforms and ships will experience continuous movement in complex sea conditions such as waves and winds, posing a serious challenge to the safety of helicopter takeoff and landing. The HMS 300 helicopter deck monitoring system was developed by Kongsberg Discovery AS (formerly Kongsberg Seatex) and is specifically designed to monitor helicopter deck movements and meteorological conditions, providing real-time and accurate safety decision support for offshore helicopter operations.
In the fields of modern industrial manufacturing, packaging sampling, identification production, and composite material processing, the performance of precision cutting equipment directly determines production efficiency and product quality. The C-series digital cutting platform launched by Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems has become a benchmark in the global packaging, display, labeling, and industrial composite material processing industries due to its modular design, rich tool configuration, and intelligent iPC cutting console. This article is based on the official user manual and comprehensively analyzes the safety specifications, operating procedures, tool systems, automation options, and maintenance of the C-series cutting system, providing a detailed technical guide for operators and technical managers.
In the fields of dynamic positioning (DP) operations, ocean surveys, and high-precision navigation, the limitations of a single global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are becoming increasingly prominent - signal occlusion, multipath effects, ionospheric scintillation, and even intentional interference can all lead to positioning interruptions or decreased accuracy. KONGSBERG, with decades of deep accumulation in GNSS and inertial technology, has launched the DPS i series inertial navigation system, which combines multi constellation GNSS receivers with MGC ™ The perfect fusion of motion gyro compass creates a highly integrated positioning reference solution that is future oriented and fully scalable. This article will take DPS i2 as the core and delve into the innovation of this fusion technology.
