AUTOMATION & MOVING SYSTEMS

Everything on board that moves.

Engineering, troubleshooting and modernisation of automated and hydraulically operated yacht equipment. This is the specialist field, and automatic sliding doors are a specialism inside it.

01 / SCOPE

What this covers

In practical terms, almost everything on board that moves, opens, closes, lifts, extends, retracts or is controlled automatically.

Automatic sliding doorsWatertight door systemsShell doors and hull openingsPasserelles and boarding systemsHydraulic platforms and lifting systemsCranes and rescue equipmentHydraulic power units and valve systemsPLC and HMI control systemsElectrical and electronic control systemsSensors, safety circuits and remote control systemsSystem upgrades, modifications and retrofit automationFault finding, software diagnostics and commissioning
02 / WHY IT GOES WRONG

Faults that cross trades

Automated and hydraulically operated equipment is where most refit programmes lose time. A door that will not close is rarely a door problem. It is a sensor, a safety circuit, a hydraulic supply or a line of PLC logic, and diagnosing it needs someone who reads all four. More than two decades in the yacht industry covering interior systems, marine construction, technical outfitting and installation coordination is what makes that possible.

03 / SPECIALISM

Automatic sliding doors

Automatic sliding doors and their associated mechanical, pneumatic and electronic systems are a specialist field in their own right. Most of the industry treats them as joinery with a motor attached. They are not.

04 / RETROFIT

Obsolete does not mean dead

Where a control system is no longer supported, the options are migration, replacement or a bridge that lets the existing mechanics run on current hardware. Which one is correct depends on the vessel, not on what is easiest to sell.

05 / REQUEST

Request an inspection.

Tell us the vessel, the location and the problem. We will come back with a scope, a timeline and a fixed position on what we can and cannot verify.
