Posted on: November 27, 2015

Nauticomp Inc. (https://nauticomp.com), an established display manufacturer with worldwide brand recognition, is announcing that they will be a featured exhibitor at the 36th annual International WorkBoat Show.

The International WorkBoat Show is the biggest marine-industry trade show in North America, bringing together suppliers and industry professionals from around the world. Taking place from December 1-3 in New Orleans, this year’s show brings together top marine industry exhibitors from six different continents.

“It is truly an honour for Nauticomp Inc to be a featured exhibitor at this year’s event,” says Ryan Moore, President of Nauticomp Inc. “The best the marine industry has to offer is at the International WorkBoat Show. We’re proud to be a leading manufacturer in the marine industry, and we’re looking forward to showing off our latest innovations.”

This year’s show will feature hundreds of exhibits from companies covering every facet of the marine industry. Attendees will have opportunities to connect with suppliers, while a conference will cover the latest cutting-edge marine technology and products.

“It’s the focus on innovation that we really enjoy about the tradeshow,” says Moore. “Marine environments can be harsh and tough, particularly on technology, so they really require specialized solutions and new innovations. Our focus at Nauticomp Inc has been on creating these specialized products, so we can’t wait to participate in the show.”

Nauticomp’s product line features high-performance displays and monitors built to withstand marine environments, including waterproof monitors and features for use in a variety of lighting conditions. They are highlighting two of their leading products at this year’s event.

“We’ve just enhanced our entire Titan Commercial Grade Displays line, so we’re eager to show that off,” says Moore. “We’ve redesigned the units to be more compact, and we’ve created additional models in a wider range of sizes. It combines high-end technology with an easy-to-use interface.”
Noting that the show’s attendees will include owners and operators of a wide variety of vessels, as well as commercial and military buyers, Moore says Nauticomp Inc will be showcasing versatile displays that can be used for a variety of purposes.

“No two areas of the marine industry are alike, which is why operators can have trouble finding technology that fits their specific needs” notes Moore. “Our new line of solid state Rugged NINA PC’s were created with this in mind, so we think they will get a great reaction at the show. They are designed to be used in anything from commercial vessels to recreational yachts.”

With the International WorkBoat Show covering a range of topics, from business management to legal and regulatory framework, Moore is confident that this year’s event will be a rousing success.

“If you’re part of the marine industry, you really need to stay on top of the latest practices and innovations,” says Moore. “Whether it’s the best business strategies, new safety guidelines, or the latest technology, I think this year’s event will have something for every marine professional.”
The International WorkBoat Show takes place December 1-3 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Nauticomp Inc. will be at booth #2742.

Things to Consider Before Purchasing Commercial-Grade Monitors

Posted on: November 24, 2015

Ship in the harborIf you need to secure a commercial-grade monitor, then it is likely that you need digital displays that are more rugged, longer-lasting, and more capable than other types of digital signage. Commercial monitors are used for many industry, military, and government applications. There is a number of different commercial-grade LCD displays available, and the right selection depends on the purpose of the monitor.

Here are the six things you should consider to help make the right selection.

What scale of monitor do you need?

The first thing you should consider is the size of the commercial-grade monitor you need. Depending on the purpose, different sizes may be more beneficial. A wall-sized installation will make your display the dominant piece in any room and the main focus for anyone present, whereas smaller monitors can be used effectively for individual use or supplementary applications.

From what distance will it be viewed?

Once you know the required size of your monitor, you need to know the distance from which people will be viewing it. Larger monitors typically need to be viewed from farther away as pixilation becomes more apparent the closer a viewer is. For larger monitors, a viewing distance of tens of feet may be required, whereas smaller monitors may need a distance of only a couple feet.

In what environment will the monitor be used?

Your commercial-grade monitor must be able to provide effective display in the environment where you will use it. If sunlight or other excessive ambient light will be a factor, you will specifically need a monitor that can provide effective resolution and screen brightness in those conditions. For marine purposes, your monitor should be waterproof to prevent damage to the unit. Consider whether your unit will be exposed to sunlight, dust, extreme temperatures, outdoor weather conditions, or industrial debris (e.g. sawdust, contaminants).

What will be the logistics of use?

For whichever commercial monitor you choose, you need to know what power source will be used as well as the logistics of both the installation and use. Research the different methods of powering a commercial monitor and determine which one will work best for your needs and environment. Consider monitors with multiple inputs, which will ensure greater compatibility for use in a variety of environments.

Is it practical for use?

Think about the continued operation and maintenance of your monitor. Commercial monitors with easy-to-use interfaces and customizable options will ensure intuitive ongoing operation. Consider how the monitor will be controlled and operated. Controls can differ among monitors, so select a unit that will be easy to operate in your environment.

Does it meet your specific needs?

It may be possible that you have special considerations for your monitor. For instance, if you require your monitor to operate for long periods of time or 24/7, then you need to choose a commercial-grade monitor that can handle longer operation times. If you need multiple units or units that do not consume too much power, consider monitors with LED backlighting, which operate with less power.
