The VisionMaster FT TotalWatch multi-function workstation provides the ultimate in flexibility and redundancy for bridge configuration and manning. TotalWatch represents the ultimate in situational awareness for the navigator. At a TotalWatch workstation, any VisionMaster function can be selected by the operator as a Watch Mode, at the click of a button. With TotalWatch:
- Any combination of workstation functions and watchkeeper manning configurations can be created to suit the navigational situation, with optimal configurations to meet the unique requirements of inshore piloting, open sea navigation, docking and anchoring.
- All navigation data is available to any watchstander at any moment in time, enhancing navigation performance and increasing safety.
- Having multiple functions available at individual workstations provides the redundancy necessary to maximize system availability.
- The flexibility of TotalWatch enables reduced manning, which will result in major cost savings, as well as supporting single-watchkeeper brudge requirements.
Further enhancing performance, with a dual-display TotalWatch configuration and the optional chair-mounted trackball control, a single watchkeeper can control and monitor two VisionMaster watch modes at a single location.
Like all VisionMaster FT systems, TotalWatch workstations are designed to be interfaced with the optional Performance-Based Navigation suite that includes fuel management, chart downloads and corrections and ship telematics.
