A groundbreaking partnership between WATCHIT, a leader in marine safety innovation, and marine electronics specialist Actisense is set to revolutionize boating safety.
The collaboration focuses on advancing WATCHIT’s Smart Collision Prevention System, an AI-powered technology designed to significantly reduce the risk of boating accidents.
Preventing Collisions with Smart Technology
At the heart of WATCHIT’s mission is the goal of preventing boating accidents, aiming to make maritime activities safer by eliminating the potential for collisions.
Their patented Smart Collision Prevention System constantly monitors the vessel’s surroundings, utilizing existing onboard sensors and advanced AI algorithms to detect potential hazards in real time. By providing instant alerts, this system enhances navigational safety, giving boaters peace of mind and allowing them to focus on enjoying their time on the water.
WATCHIT’s technology marks a significant step forward in recreational boating safety, providing a proactive, automated solution that reduces the stress of sailing and significantly lowers the likelihood of accidents.
Actisense’s Role in Seamless Integration
Key to the success of WATCHIT’s system is its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing marine electronics. Actisense, renowned for its expertise in developing NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) data systems, is playing a crucial role in making this integration as smooth and efficient as possible.
Their NGT-1 NMEA 2000 PC interface provides a reliable bridge between WATCHIT’s collision prevention system and the boat’s existing NMEA-connected devices.
Actisense CEO, Phil Whitehurst, said, “We were immediately impressed by WATCHIT’s clever take on anti-collision. We are proud to be able to provide our NGT-1 NMEA 2000 PC interface as a means of helping seamlessly integrate their system with existing onboard NMEA-connected devices and systems. Working with Tal and the WATCHIT team completely aligns with our mission of making journeys safer through better data!”
Elevating Boatbuilders with Advanced Safety Solutions
WATCHIT’s cutting-edge technology isn’t just for individual boaters; it offers boatbuilders a unique opportunity to incorporate advanced safety features into their vessels, meeting the growing demand for safety enhancements in the recreational boating market. By integrating the Smart Collision Prevention System, boatbuilders can differentiate their offerings, positioning themselves as leaders in maritime safety and innovation.
This strategic collaboration allows boatbuilders to not only enhance the overall boating experience for their customers but also tap into new revenue streams. Offering this first-of-its-kind collision prevention system gives manufacturers a competitive edge, attracting safety-conscious customers who value cutting-edge technology.
