Simulation technology leader introduces further flexibility and cost savings for Neptune ERS range
Kongsberg Maritime has developed a new touch screen based Engine Room Simulator configuration, which has been designed to offer realism to students whilst providing colleges and training institutes with a new opportunity to broaden the range of courses to be offered without investing in expensive new hardware.
Called Neptune MultiTouch, the system, which is part of Kongsberg Maritime's market leading Neptune ERS portfolio, is already in use at the Georgian College, Ontario and has also been chosen by the Åland University of Applied Science.
Neptune MultiTouch, which uses multiple touchscreens integrated with real-life engine room consoles and panels, enables a college to quickly and easily select between simulation models. The system allows instructors to change from a VLCC to a Cruise vessel, or a Ferry within seconds.
"MultiTouch is an innovative and flexible solution that offers several benefits because of its ability to run various simulation models on the same HW configuration," says Harald Kluken, Product Advisor - Engine Room Simulators, Kongsberg Maritime. "It loads a new set of MultiTouch Mimic Diagrams as a different engine room simulation model is loaded, allowing for different courses to be offered on the same hardware solution. This provides immediate cost saving whilst at the same time enables training institutes to offer a wider set of courses, therefore attracting a greater number of students and customers."
The MultiTouch technology already enables training on a number of well known engine and machinery systems, such as ME Remote Console, Power Management console and engine room stations with Neptune ERS MAN B&W 5L90MC VLCC, ERS Pielstick 10PC4 Ferry M22 and ERS Diesel Electric AC Cruise Vessel DE22.
