This post is part of our Yacht Automation Series. Today we’ll see some tips about yacht maintenance.
If you own a yacht, you know that timely maintenance is essential to truly enjoy the time spent on water. A good automation system not only requires minimum intervention on your part, but also helps you streamline your maintenance operations.
Quality materials
It should be pretty self-evident that the first step for effortless maintenance is to get premium equipment installed in the first place. As we previously explained, it is important that the technology you choose is specially designed for wet environments, in order to minimize dangers and potential issues. Besides TVs and speakers, blinds and curtains are another product where specialized treatment is needed.
Real-time checks
Having an integrated system means that you can check all the essential parameter and be automatically notified if something is malfunctioning. Moreover, it simplifies operations when on-site intervention is needed. In order for this to work, you need an easy way to access all areas and identify issues. This is one of the reasons why we design bespoke GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) where everything is intuitive and made with the least tech savvy user in mind.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should grant full access to everyone on board: not only this might pose security issues, it also confuses your guests with unnecessary options. It is generally recommended that you keep different access levels and only show options that are relevant to the specific area (e.g. audio and video sources that are actually available in a certain cabin).
Remote monitoring
Not surprisingly, this is one of the aspects more appreciated by our clients: with our bespoke system, the owner or captain can keep an eye on the yacht both onboard and remotely. Thanks to our cloud monitoring service, we can further ensure that the performance, uptime and overall health of all systems is always under control.
As one of our clients explains,
“The remote service AI offer is remarkable. I didn’t even know there was a problem until they fixed it. There is no disruption to my journey out at sea, and I am further reassured knowing that a team is ready to come on board if needed.”
