Bluenav Control brings Smart Navigation to other electric propulsion systems
by Déborah Newton03 September 20262 min read
BlueNav, a French specialist in electric propulsion and Smart Navigation, announces the launch of BlueNav Control, a new solution that brings its Smart Navigation features to boats already equipped with third-party electric propulsion.
Smart Navigation beyond BlueNav motors
Until now, BlueNav Smart Navigation features have been
integrated with its own electric propulsion systems. With
BlueNav Control, BlueNav now makes its technology available
for integration with existing electric propulsion systems.
The solution is built around a dedicated control unit and
Precision+ GPS for optimal positioning accuracy,
complemented by an optional joystick. It integrates the
BlueNav Smart Navigation Pack, providing access to several
advanced features:
Autopilot: Heading Hold, Course Hold, Waypoint Tracking
and Cruise Control
Docking: 360° Docking
Positioning: Virtual Anchor and Drift Lock
BlueNav Control is available from €13,229 excl. VAT.
BlueNav Control thus brings new control, manoeuvring and
position-holding capabilities to boats equipped with
compatible electric propulsion systems.
Three ways to take control
BlueNav Control offers three complementary functions to
simplify and enhance anchoring.
Virtual Anchor: maintain position without anchoring
For a short stop, a break in a cove, or in an area where
anchoring is regulated or prohibited, BlueNav Control keeps
the boat precisely in position without deploying the physical
anchor or impacting the seabed.
Smart Anchoring: physical anchor under supervision
The BlueNav Virtual Anchor provides genuine assistance
when anchoring: it helps position the boat, limits movement
and facilitates deployment of the physical anchor. Once
deployed, BlueNav Control continuously monitors the boat’s
position and, when drift is detected, the Virtual Anchor
automatically intervenes to correct it. The physical anchor
remains the primary holding system, while the Virtual Anchor
provides additional position monitoring and correction.
Smart Control: intuitive control at your fingertips
Smart Navigation features and the joystick enable intuitive
control, precise manoeuvring and enhanced navigation
assistance.
A new step for BlueNav
With BlueNav Control, BlueNav extends its Smart Navigation
expertise beyond its own propulsion systems, opening the
way to new markets and new collaborations with
boatbuilders, shipyards and equipment manufacturers.
