Details
General
NAVIPILOT 4500N is Sperry Marine’s new networked, self-adaptive heading control system that combines industry-leading performance with easier deployment and operation. It keeps your vessel more efficiently on course, reduces fuel consumption, emissions and workload on the bridge. With a colour touchscreen, it’s intuitive to use and heading control functionality is safely operated with a dial wheel and buttons to avoid unintended changes. NAVIPILOT 4500N still delivers the heading control performance that Sperry Marine is renowned for, to keep your vessel more efficiently on course.
General integration options
This autopilot can be integrated with Sperry Marine VisionMaster ECDIS for advanced Track Control functionality. This will enhance safety and reduce the operator workload with preprogramed routes for repetitive courses. On more complex voyages with multiple waypoint and lots of manoeuvres, will be simplified. NAVIPILOT 4500N can be integrated with Sperry Marines versatile manual steering control system NAVIGUIDE 4000 that provides all required manual steering modes. NAVIGUIDE 4000 can be interfaced with a wide range of steering gears and can thus be adapted to customer needs. The complete system can be easily used in any new build as an integral part of our Integrated Bridge System offering or in in retrofits to enhance our existing system or any third party’s systems.
New features on the touch display
Sperry Marine was one of the first companies to design and develop an autopilot with the aim of increasing profits by reducing the running costs of the ship using a fully self-tuning adaptive heading control system. The ultimate version with new modern design provides additional ease of use to the crew whilst permanently indicate all information required by contemporary navigation demands.
Adaptive autopilot control
Advanced control algorithms automatically adjust steering parameters based on vessel dynamics, speed, and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal course keeping and reduced rudder activity.
Track Control System (TCS)
Enables automatic route tracking using ECDIS input, including precise waypoint transitions and cross-track error correction, supporting safe and efficient voyage execution.
Fuel-saving operation
Optimized rudder movements reduce drag and energy consumption, contributing to lower fuel costs and improved environmental performance.
Seamless bridge integration
Fully compatible with integrated bridge systems, allowing data exchange with gyro compass, GNSS, speed log, radar, and ECDIS systems.
Intuitive operation
User-friendly interface via Navitwin V control units ensures simple handling, quick mode selection, and clear status visualization.
Flexible steering modes
Supports multiple steering modes including heading control, track control, manual steering, and follow-up/non-follow-up operation.
High reliability and redundancy
Designed for continuous operation with built-in monitoring and alarm functions, ensuring safe performance even in demanding conditions.
Retrofit and newbuild ready
Modular design allows easy integration into existing vessels as well as newbuild bridge systems.
