Fully integrated assisted docking system with five-camera control

The Raymarine DockSense Control 5 Camera System is an advanced assisted-docking solution that combines five machine-vision cameras with intelligent vessel control technology to deliver enhanced situational awareness and automated guidance in close-quarters environments. Using FLIR stereo vision cameras together with GPS and attitude sensing data, the system analyses surrounding obstacles in real time and works with compatible propulsion and joystick systems to help prevent collisions. Live video feeds and docking guidance are displayed on compatible multifunction displays, while the system’s virtual safety zone technology can introduce corrective steering and throttle inputs to guide the vessel safely toward the dock with reduced stress and improved precision.

Key Features

• Five Machine-Vision Cameras: Provides extensive multi-angle coverage around the vessel for maximum spatial awareness during docking manoeuvres.
• Assisted Steering and Throttle Control: Interfaces with compatible propulsion and joystick systems to apply automatic corrective inputs when obstacles enter the safety zone.
• Virtual Bumper Safety Zone: Establishes a configurable protective boundary around the vessel to help prevent contact with docks, pilings, and other vessels.
• Real-Time Display Integration: Streams live camera views and docking guidance information to compatible multifunction displays for intuitive control.
• GPS and Motion Compensation: Utilises GPS and attitude heading reference data to account for wind, current, and vessel movement during docking.
• Comprehensive Obstacle Detection: Identifies structures, fixed objects, and nearby vessels that may be outside normal helm visibility.

Dock with greater accuracy and confidence using intelligent machine vision and automated guidance engineered for demanding marine environments.
