Smart shipping

As shipping moves toward semi-autonomous operation, precise knowledge of a vessel’s position and motion becomes mission-critical. Large ships respond slowly to steering inputs, so reliable real-time data is essential for making timely course corrections and supporting safer navigation.

This starts long before an autonomous vessel enters service. Prototypes and ship models undergo extensive testing, where accurate localization and motion measurement help engineers validate navigation and control systems.

JAE’s JIMS-80S, available through ASC, is ideally suited to these demanding tasks. The compact, lightweight 6-DOF MEMS inertial measurement unit combines three accelerometers and three gyroscopes to provide real-time data on acceleration, angular rate, roll and pitch. With digital CAN and RS-232 interfaces, a robust IP67 housing and technology derived from JAE’s aerospace expertise, it is designed for reliable integration into ships and other advanced mobility systems.

From model testing to next-generation navigation, high-quality inertial data helps turn smart shipping concepts into safer maritime reality.
