ICAN offers a complete range of products for Port Monitoring and Surveillance
applications. Our sales team will assess your requirements and provide you
with a solution that works for you. Horizon is designed to help you manage
vessel traffic by utilizing existing AIS infrastructure. For customers who
require web access to the current vessel traffic situation, Seascape allows you
to view the vessel traffic in any area by sending information obtained from
Horizon to units anywhere in the world. DataSwitch collects information received
from Horizon and allows you to filter information, log the data for playback at
a later time, and send all or some of the information to remote clients.
Horizon
A Complete View of Vessel Traffic
Horizon is ICAN’s shore-based vessel management solution
designed for vessel traffic and monitoring centres. It is the cornerstone of
ICAN’s AIS suite of products and has been proven to increase the safety,
security and efficiency of operations within a port. Horizon provides a
complete AIS interface that includes the ability to view and track all
vessels, display specific vessel information, and send and receive safety
related and text messages. Horizon’s interface and display of AIS related
information offers port operators a substantial leap forward in their
ability to communicate and interact with sea-based vessels. Since Horizon is
fully configurable, operators can adjust the display of information panels,
customize colour patterns for AIS targets, and set entry and exit alarms
specific to each user. Operators can also use Horizon’s multiple fixed view
option to toggle between screens and monitor several areas or display
various activities within the port.
"ICAN's Horizon software was
enthusiastically received.
We heard AIS was good, but we didn't realize it was
this good!"
Horizon User, Port of Geelong, Australia
Horizon is designed based
on the
ISPS code compliance for port facilities.
Horizon Add-On Modules
Vessel Tracking Database Module
Using the Vessel Tracking Database, Horizon can log and time stamp AIS data
for easy querying and playback viewing. Data can be sorted based on select
data fields such as MMSI, call sign, vessel type and speed. Data logging and
playback has been used by ICAN customers for incident investigation and to
review port activity.
Enhanced Monitoring & Messaging Module
For additional functionality, Horizon’s Enhanced Monitoring and Messaging
Module offers sophisticated AIS communication functions such as
anti-grounding and anti-collision alarms, configuration of remote guard
zones around AIS targets, and time filtering to remove redundant AIS
messages. Operators can also adjust the rate of report assignments on mobile
AIS transponders and send/receive text and safety-related AIS messages to
vessels in the port.
Radar Overlay Module
Radar Overlay offers a real time radar image overlaid on your electronic
chart for use in demanding applications such as search and rescue, iceberg
detection, obstacle avoidance, and coastal surveillance. All ICAN modules
offer customizable functionality to meet your unique requirements. Contact
ICAN Sales for more information.
Horizon Vista
Basic Port Monitoring Solution
Horizon Vista is ICAN’s entry-level port monitoring product
that displays real-time AIS data and is ideal for port operators who simply
want to view AIS traffic on an electronic chart. Vessels equipped with AIS
transponders are displayed on the chart as AIS targets with relevant
information displayed in configurable information boxes. You can select an
AIS target from a list or from the chart to view the vessel’s details. You
can pan and zoom or toggle to a full screen view to quickly see the AIS
target information you are looking for.
Horizon Vista allows you connect to client network connections including
serial, TCP or UDP, so you have the ability to connect to AIS Networks
anywhere in the world!
Horizon Vista can also receive data and text messages over the AIS
network from vessels carrying AIS transponders. You can view vessel position
reports, static and voyage related data, and Aids to Navigation (AtoN) data.
AIS equipped AtoNs transmit information on the status of the buoy (low
battery level, light functioning, on position, etc.) directly to your
office.
Horizon Vista fits nicely into ICAN’s suite of port
monitoring products and can be easily upgraded to Horizon at a later date if
additional functionality is required. ICAN also protects your purchase; if
an upgrade is desired, the money invested in Horizon Vista is put toward the
purchase of Horizon. ICAN is committed to building successful relationships
through customer satisfaction.
DataSwitch
The Marine Data Routing Solution
DataSwitch
is a Windows-based software solution used to manage AIS data received from
networking multiple AIS data sources. DataSwitch acts as a messenger
ensuring that the desired AIS data flows easily and efficiently to the
correct users. Used in combination with Horizon, DataSwitch allows the
information from one or more AIS base stations, transponders and/or
receivers to be analyzed, logged, filtered, and securely transmitted to
defined users.
DataSwitch has been designed to effectively filter and organize data;
allowing each user to view only the data they are configured to receive. For
instance, a user account can be configured to view only one fleet of
vessels, or vessels entering/leaving the port, or vessels carrying hazardous
materials, etc. You can use this feature to closely monitor port activities
and better detect suspicious vessels.
DataSwitch’s ability to filter data allows you to control the information
sent to each user and forward only required information. A port can use this
feature to send detailed data to a regional headquarters, while sending
other users limited information.
DataSwitch has a variety of uses for a variety of users. As an example,
DataSwitch offers a port the option to source out AIS data to a third party
while maintaining full control over what information gets transmitted.
