Innovative solutions for the maritime industry and offshore applications
From cargo vessels and offshore platforms to ports, shipyards and even unmanned underwater vehicles, navigating the maritime and offshore industry requires a broad range of highly specialized applications and technology.
We'll help you chart the most efficient course to success. B&R's commitment to Scalability+ means you can rely on rugged, distributed and scalable hardware together with conveniently encapsulated software components that handle your application's core functionality. This allows you to focus your resources on the key innovations that set your application apart. B&R solutions accelerate your time to market while boosting the performance, efficiency and quality of your equipment.
The smart ship – Integrated, open, safe and secure
APROL – Your flexible platform for smart ship process control
Smart ship technology is the key to boosting your vessel's safety, security and efficiency while simultaneously lowering operating costs. The machinery and equipment on a smart ship is fully automated and coordinated by a distributed shipboard monitoring and control system. This ship-wide system can be operated either locally on the vessel, or remotely from the fleet management center on land.

Robust, distributed, scalable
The X20 and X90 control and I/O systems from B&R provide the optimal solution for distributed and scalable applications. Whether mounted in an enclosure (X20 system with IP20 protection) or even directly on a combustion engine (X90 system with IP66K protection), B&R I/O is the best choice when it comes to reducing wiring costs. These systems also make it easy to offer equipment in a variety of configurations without having to develop new software for each one.
- Certification: DNV GL, IACS UR E10, IEC 60945 including Compass Safe Distance
- Integrated safety technology
- ATEX and HazLoc certified
- Extended temperature range
- Available with protection against condensation and corrosive gases

mapp – Completely modular technology blocks
The network of precoded software components that comprise mapp Technology allow you to cut an average of two-thirds off your software development time. Save even more using the configurable, ready-made UI elements from B&R's solution for web-based HMI, mapp View. Your software engineers will be able to dedicate more time to optimizing the core process.
mapp Technology is based on the same idea as the apps on your smartphone: You simply enable the functions you want, and they automatically begin exchanging the necessary data – without the time-consuming and error-prone process of coding from scratch. Setting up a full-fledged energy monitoring system, for instance, is a matter of just a few configuration settings.
mapp currently offers more than 200 components that can shrink your time to market and maintenance costs.

Openness
The only future-proof solution is an open solution. Openness allows you to work with the tools you are most comfortable using. It allows machines to communicate effortlessly with external systems, and by facilitating the reuse of existing software for future solutions, it frees up valuable time to get your product to market faster. B&R offers openness on all levels and in all products.
