AlphaPilot MFM
The AlphaPilot is an advanced adaptive autopilot featuring a 5-inch touch display, designed with a uniform hardware and software philosophy for seamless integration. Its track steering technology enhances safety and efficiency with user-friendly operation. Built as a modular system, it utilizes standard components, ensuring easy installation, commissioning, and maintenance.
Designed for vessels of all sizes, including high-speed crafts, the AlphaPilot is a type-approved heading control system that reduces operator workload, improves vessel efficiency, and enhances safety. Its auto-tune algorithm self-adjusts to ship dynamics, optimizing rudder gain and counter rudder settings for superior steering performance.
The system includes tillers for steering and mode selection switches, featuring illuminated command indicators for safety. Each module has an aluminum base, dedicated PCB, and splash-proof coating, connected via CAN bus for efficient communication with the main control unit.
AlphaPilot MFS
This competitive AlphaPilot MFS is a speed adaptive, type approved and wheel marked autopilot system, and is applicable to a wide variety of commercial or leisure vessel types. This adaptive autopilot easy to install onboard any vessel with a single rudder, linked rudders, independent rudders, or azimuth Z-drives configuration. The smart AlphaPilot MFS features an extremely compact display size, which can even be built into an armrest of a chair. The AlphaPilot MFS is easy to operate via an intuitive 5-inch color touchscreen display which will give the operator a clear presentation of information. The user-friendly menu and parameters can be accessed and changed by using the touch screen.
The AlphaPilot MFS is applicable to vessels up to 30 knots (non-High-Speed Craft). It is also Type Approved for High-Speed Craft (HSC) compliant with ISO 16329 to provide an overall speed application range for vessels to 70 knots. The AlphaPilot MFS can be used for new build and retrofit projects for vessels up to 3000 GT. For larger vessels or more complex configurations, with tillers and/or multiple command positions, we advise to use the AlphaPilot MFM.
