EnCata provided mechanical and electronics engineering services to design and prototype a modular waterproof enclosure (IP-67) for marine navigation.The system analyzes a vessel’s movement data and the hydrometeorological situation to improve navigational safety.

Large and small vessels have hardware-software complexes installed on their decks. This makes it easier to equip existing vessels by simplifying cabling, yet it might create additional requirements to the product's hardware complex.
The deck is not the most protected vessel’s part. It can be exposed to seawater, ultraviolet radiation, vibration and sharp blow, which places high demands on the hull’s components and attachments for strength and durability. At the same time, the system is modular, so installation should be carried out quickly and with a minimum of additional tools.
The dashboard of the modules is realized with the help of a sticker resistant to ultraviolet radiation and salt water.
We created a unique attachment that allows the modules to be firmly connected to one another. Additional modules are delivered “sandwich-like” through pressure connections.The solution of sealing the modules together with a silicone seal provided the clamping connections with the requisite level of protection IP-67. We used an externally sourced antenna because the module packages are constructed of metal. The antenna was installed using the only IP-67 protected connector available.
If you are planning to develop a custom electronics enclosure or are exploring engineering support for an IP-rated enclosure, feel free to get in touch with us. We will supply you with a precise estimate promptly!

EnCata successfully completed the project. The modules underwent testing with positive findings before being delivered to the Customer.
The Customer received the 4 modules assembled and ready for testing, adjustment and installation on the vessel. Moreover, we provided a manual for utilizing the modules and connecting them to one another, as well as CAD files.
The packaging was also developed by EnCata.
