What is your application?

...

1930s – 1940s

Radar & radio navigation

Marine electronics began with early adoption of radio communication and radar during WWII, transforming navigation and safety at sea, quickly spreading to commercial and recreational vessels.

1970s – 1980s

Chartplotters & sonar

Fishfinders, depth sounders, and the first electronic chartplotters entered the market, giving boaters visual data for safer navigation and fishing.

1990s – 2010

GPS & digital integration

Global Positioning System (GPS) became standard on boats, alongside multifunction displays (MFDs) that integrated radar, sonar, maps, and engine data into one interface.

Leading-edge tech for luxury superyachts

The evolution of superyachts has brought a seamless fusion of luxury, performance, and advanced technology supported by a wide range of component systems designed for marine environments.

Switches are used throughout the vessel to control lighting, climate, entertainment, navigation, and safety systems. From bridge consoles to cabin controls, switches ensure intuitive and reliable operation both above and below

Sensors monitor key metrics such as bilge levels, engine temperature, water pressure, tank levels, navigation data, and environmental conditions. Real-time feedback helps maintain safety, efficiency, and smooth vessel operation.

Marine-grade connectors NMEA2000-compliant connectors are critical for integrating sensors, switches, and control systems, with IP-rated data and power interfaces providing robust and reliable communication throughout the vessel’s network, from navigation to cabin automation.

LED lighting is widely used for both function and style—navigation lights, deck and underwater lighting, interior ambient systems, and safety beacons all benefit from long life, efficiency, and low heat output.
