Long-time mariners, brand new technology


Høglund Marine Solutions is an industry leader in ship automation, powering hundreds of large vessels around the world. The company has been in the marine automation business since 1993 and after a long stretch of time in service, the system was ripe for modernization. Relying on Høglund’s deep knowledge of the current system, its bottlenecks and opportunities, our task is to help improve, modernize and explore possibilities through new technology.

Marine automation systems are extremely complex, managing everything onboard the vessel from engines to navigation and security. Building these kinds of systems involves multiple parties; the shipyards building vessels, the crew and the teams of engineers that design, test and install the systems onboard. In collaboration with Høglund Marine Solutions we managed to modernize their suite of tools, streamlining work and enabling new possibilities going forward.

For vessel use we created a high-performance application that surfaces the complete live automation system, used as a status dashboard by the crew. Teams on land can also view the dashboard remotely to keep track of the vessel’s operations. Adapting the dashboard for multiple systems we created both a native Windows and a cloud application.

OSDesigner is an Høglund app where engineers can put together systems visually. We rebuilt and modernized OSDesigner, adding new features to track pace of the  rapid development of automation systems. The new tool lets the user pull in components to build visually, giving them a good overview of the complete system.
