Infrared technology is a key asset for protecting people, vessels and operations at sea. Even taking into account its limitations under extreme weather conditions, a thermal camera remains a valuable tool for anticipating risk and supporting crew decisions.
With solutions such as iSmart Thermal Maritime, Omnisense by Infravision, FLIR / Teledyne and a complete customisable range from E-Nav Infrared Solutions, every maritime operation can rely on an effective system for real-time thermal vision and monitoring.
To maximise the effectiveness of onboard thermal cameras, E-Nav Infrared Solutions has developed SEW (Safety Early Warning), an advanced software for the intelligent management of marine thermographic systems.
SEW turns thermal cameras into digital lookouts, active 24/7, capable of automatically detecting abnormal heat patterns, early hotspots and dangerous situations such as thermal runaway in lithium batteries. The software uses artificial intelligence algorithms to distinguish between normal thermal variations and genuine safety threats.
Key features of SEW:
- Continuous monitoring of engine rooms, equipment cabinets and critical areas
- Intelligent alarms configurable for temperature, smoke and flame
- Direct integration with fire suppression systems and onboard automation
- Centralised dashboard for monitoring and control from bridge or operations centre
- Broad compatibility with marine thermal cameras from E-Nav, FLIR and other brands
With SEW, fire prevention becomes proactive. The system does not wait for a problem to become evident: it intercepts it before it becomes critical, protecting crew, passengers and onboard assets.
