Meet the startup making the world’s seas safer from Split, Croatia!
Helm Order Monitor is the first of its kind technological solution to the problem of insufficient monitoring of helm orders between helmsman and pilot or navigator onboard ships. We are fixing this problem with an electronic device that combines automatic speech recognition and data from the ship’s sensors.
Croatian start-up makes maritime sector safer with their Helm Order Monitor
ELNAV aims to make navigation at sea safer. I spent thirty years in the merchant marine. During that time, I noticed that there was still a lot to be gained when it came to safety at sea. That is why I founded Elnav, which is part of the ICT Županija ecosystem.
Greater safety through better communication at sea – Automatic voice monitoring for the ship’s bridge
Many accidents at sea are due to errors in communication between seafarers. An automatic voice monitoring system for the ship’s bridge will ensure greater safety. With the speech recognition system and support from Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg, Germany, ELNAV, a start-up company based in Split, Croatia, is developing what it calls a »Helm Order Monitor«.
Digital Dalmatia: Helm Order Monitor
Helm Order Monitor je prvo tehnološko rješenje problema nedovoljnog nadzora naredbi za kormilarenje između kormilara i pilota ili navigatora. Trenutno ne postoji sustav koji se bavi tom problematikom, stoga će to biti nova tehnologija koja pridonosi povećanju sigurnosti pomorskog prometa.
