HE00500 - DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND THE HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE IN A NEW CLASS OF LIFEBOAT

Until recently control and monitoring of systems on board RNLI vessels has required a collection of stand alone systems. With the increasing complexity of lifeboat designs, this presents inherent difficulties and the requirement has arisen for a more efficient solution.

The novel RNLI defined Systems and Information Management System (SIMS) is a true integrated system, centralising electronics in a single rack.
