Ensuring Navigational Safety Precise Operations Maritime Efficiency With Innovation.

ADIS® - At the Helm of Maritime Safety.

At Weir-Jones Engineering, we are proud to offer the Automated Draught Indicator System also known as ADIS® as a premier monitoring solution for the marine industry.

Designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of vessel operations, ADIS® utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide real-time data on vessel draught, helping operators make informed decisions quickly and accurately.

ADIS® stands out with its advanced technology tailored to the specific needs of the maritime sector. It integrates a series of high-precision sensors and sophisticated software to monitor and report on the draught of a vessel. This technology ensures the accuracy and reliability of draught readings, which are critical for maintaining vessel stability and navigational safety.

Our ADIS® Solution

How Does ADIS® Work?

ADIS® works by employing a network of sensors placed strategically along the vessel. These sensors measure the water pressure at various points to calculate the vessel’s draught in real time. The data collected by the sensors is then processed by onboard software, which adjusts for variables like water density and vessel motion, ensuring that the draught readings are precise and reliable.

Benefits of ADIS®

Sensor Placement

ADIS® utilizes pressure sensors that are strategically installed at multiple points along the hull of the vessel. These sensors are crucial for measuring the water pressure at different depths, which directly correlates to the draught of the vessel.

Data Acquisition

As the vessel operates, the sensors continuously gather water pressure data. This data is crucial as it reflects changes in the vessel’s draught due to variations in load and water density.

Advanced Data Processing

The collected data is then transmitted to an onboard processing unit. This unit is equipped with advanced algorithms designed to compensate for various factors that can affect draught readings, such as water salinity, temperature, and the vessel’s motion due to sea conditions. This processing ensures the draught measurements are not only accurate but also reliable under different operating environments.

Real-Time Analysis and Display

Once processed, the draught data is analyzed and displayed in real-time through the ADIS® interface. This interface provides a clear and intuitive visualization of the current draught status, allowing the crew to make informed decisions promptly.

Integration with Ship Systems

ADIS® is designed to integrate seamlessly with other shipboard systems, providing data inputs for navigational and cargo management systems. This integration allows for enhanced operational planning, ensuring that load distributions are optimized and navigational routes are adjusted to maintain safety based on current draught levels.

Alert Systems

The system includes configurable alerts that notify the crew if the draught exceeds predefined safety thresholds. These alerts are vital for preventing situations that could compromise the vessel’s stability, such as grounding in shallow waters.
