Efficiency, safety, and cost control are at the forefront of modern vessel operations. For shipowners looking to maximize uptime and streamline onboard operations, a reliable, modular, and scalable automation system is key. SEAM’s e-SEAMatic® is designed for seamless integration across all ship types, giving operators full control of power management, propulsion, auxiliary systems, and safety functions – all from a single, intuitive interface.

Why SEAM’s e-SEAMatic® IAS?

As vessels become more sophisticated, the scalability of IAS allows them to adapt to ships of varying sizes and complexities. This adaptability ensures that shipowners can future-proof their vessels, accommodating new technologies, regulations, and operational challenges.

Unlike conventional IAS solutions, e-SEAMatic® is designed for long-term flexibility. With an open architecture, standardized communication protocols, and a modular setup, shipowners can easily scale and upgrade their automation system without vendor lock-in.

Key Benefits for Shipowners and Operators

- Reduced Operational Costs – Efficient automation leads to optimized fuel consumption, predictive maintenance, and fewer manual interventions.

- Scalability Without Replacing Systems – Modular design means upgrades can be implemented without full system overhauls, protecting your initial investment.

- Redundancy & Reliability – Dual-processor control and multiple fail-safes ensure that mission-critical systems remain operational at all times.

- User-Centric Interface – Customizable dashboards and centralized alarms give operators full control with minimal training requirements.

- Seamless Integration – Supports third-party system integration, making it a flexible choice for newbuilds and retrofits alike.

Future-Proofing Fleet Operations

Integrated Automation Systems are integral to the advancement of next-generation ships. With regulatory demands evolving and digitalization reshaping maritime operations, choosing an adaptable automation system is more critical than ever. SEAM’s e-SEAMatic® IAS ensures compliance with industry standards while providing shipowners with a system that evolves alongside their fleet.
