Nonius Software-Hardware Complex for Dredger Automation and Performance Monitoring

The software and hardware complex "Nonius" significantly increases the efficiency of dredging and mining operations. The complex serves for positioning and monitoring of dredgers and helps to find the optimal mode of operation of the vessel: - to reduce the number of downtimes; - to reduce the volume of abandoned work, work beyond the limits of scooping and beyond the design mark; - to keep an operational record of dredger output; - to reduce unnecessary costs, including fuel and maintenance. The dredge operator (bagger) can see the position of the dredge in relation to the depth map, the position of the dredge in relation to the bottom topography, the design depth and the design limits. In addition, the operator can always determine which areas have been worked on and which have not yet been worked on. Nonius will be useful for dredging and mining companies, as well as for mining and processing plants and large production facilities with tailings ponds. The complex can be installed on all types of dredgers.
