Revolutionizing Docking with NeuBoat Dock II
Docking a vessel, especially in tight quarters, has always been a challenging aspect of boating. NeuBoat Dock II addresses this by providing a comprehensive 360-degree bird’s-eye view using a six-camera system. This setup offers real-time object detection and distance measurements, alerting operators when the vessel is within 16 feet of an obstacle. A dynamic virtual bumper is activated to prevent collisions, ensuring safety during docking maneuvers.
Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Interface
NeuBoat Dock II is designed with versatility in mind. Its compatibility with various display systems, facilitated by USB-C and HDMI connections, allows for easy integration with a wide range of vessels. The intuitive user interface offers multiple viewing options, including individual camera feeds and a composite 3D view, enhancing situational awareness. The Docking Assist Guidance feature provides real-time path recommendations, making the docking process more straightforward and less stressful.
“The NEUBOAT DOCK 2 is the only 360 camera system that can be installed on refit projects, without having to remove the boat from the water,” shares Paul Petani, Managing Director USA of Avikus. “Making it a perfect integration for owners or yacht brokers looking to modernize or enhance the value of their investment.”
Designed for a Broad Range of Vessels
Targeting yachts over 40 feet, NeuBoat Dock II is suitable for various vessel types, including sportfishing boats, power catamarans, center consoles, and sailing yachts. Its in-water calibration capability eliminates the need for costly haul-outs, facilitating easier installation and maintenance.
NeuBoat Dock II not only addresses current docking challenges but also lays the groundwork for future advancements in autonomous boating. Its scalable platform is designed to integrate with upcoming modules like NeuBoat Navi and NeuBoat Control, which will offer features such as smart autopilot and enhanced object recognition.
