Automated mooring systems: energy savings and reliability with ifm [Use-Case]

[Subtitles] Automated mooring systems are transforming the port and marine industries by replacing traditional mooring ropes with safer, faster and more energy-efficient solutions. ONEARC has developed a fully automated system that stabilises vessels in port and supports the transition to autonomous shipping. By reducing reliance on propellers during short port stays, the system can lower fuel or energy consumption by up to 40 %, a crucial advantage for modern battery-electric ferries. ifm radar sensors provide precise positioning signals even under challenging weather conditions such as rain, snow, and fog, ensuring reliable operation. Additional ifm components – including controllers, displays, remote connectivity solutions, pressure sensors, inclination sensors, and other robust sensing solutions – deliver the accuracy and durability required in demanding marine environments. Thanks to plug-and-play integration and reliable technical support, ifm is playing a key role in making automated mooring systems efficient, safe, and sustainable. 💡 Find out more about our success stories: https://www.ifm.com/cnt/application-reports ------ ▶️ Subscribe now: https://www.youtube.com/c/ifmgroup?sub_confirmation=1 ------ Follow ifm online: LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/ifm Facebook: http://facebook.com/ifm.electronic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifm_electronic ------ #AutomatedMooring #MarineTechnology #SustainableShipping
