SMARTDOCK
Modernize your boat in just a few steps and control it completely via app.
Your crew is you
You know your boat, any reaction, any maneuver. Now you have a system by your side that makes it even easier to have full control – without needing assistance. With SMARTDOCK, you control your boat via smartphone from any position aboard – bow, stern or amidships.
SMARTDOCK has been designed to offer experienced skippers a whole new level of freedom. A system that can be integrated into existing set-ups and gives you full control in every situation.
Mooring becomes a smooth solo performance. No stress, no shouting, no compromising – just you and your boat in perfect harmony.
Plug & Play
SMARTDOCK is designed as plug & play – once installed, you can control everything conveniently via the app. Installation on board is quick and easy and requires no complex modifications or special technical knowledge.
After the installation, the app takes over. Setup, control, manoeuvring – everything is carried out intuitively using the smartphone. No need for a separate control panel or additional hardware.
Simply connect, start and enjoy ultimate control – this is state-of-the-art boat control.
SMARTDOCK-ECU
ECU stands for Engine Control Unit. This is a control unit that allows you to control your boat motor using the SMARTDOCK app. SMARTDOCK-ECU uses the boat's digital control systems to make them controllable via an app. The control data are sent from the Smartphone to the ECU, where they are converted into information that are correctly interpreted and executed by the boat control unit.
The helm of the boat is always monitored so that the helmsman can take over control at any time.
SMARTDOCK-TCU
TCU stands for Thruster Control Unit. This is a control unit that you can use to control the bow and stern thrusters via the SMARTDOCK app.
The control information from the app is converted into signals for the thrusters so that the boat can be precisely moved into the desired direction.
Compatibility
SMARTDOCK can be seamlessly integrated with existing technology. The system is compatible with Volvo Penta drives as of construction year 2010 and MerCruiser systems as of 2016. Hence, SMARTDOCK supports a large number of common engines and boat types – for getting started with smart boat control easily.
