StemTIDE
Dynamic Positioning
StemTIDE is a simple and affordable dynamic positioning control system for use on small commercial vessels. It can also be adapted for use on autonomous and remotely controlled craft. The system provides single joystick control of all vessel thrusters and rudders, as well as fully automatic holding of position and heading. The system can follow a set course and speed over the ground, follow an ROV or carry out a programmed mission. It is particularly effective operating in strong tidal and river currents.
StemTIDE is versatile and above all simple to use.

Benefits
Here are some advantages of StemTIDE:
-
Greatly improved manoeuvrability for small commercial vessels under joystick control
-
Excellent positional accuracy in auto mode, less strain than holding position manually
-
Ideal for survey vessels following a track over the ground at slow speed
-
Effective in strong tidal and river currents
-
Can be retro-fitted to existing propulsion and steering systems
-
Affordable solution for overall control of small autonomous vessels
-
Controller has compact and lightweight physical form
-
Designed to IMO guidelines for "DP0" systems
