As part of Zalda Technology's integrated harbor berthing-mooring solutions, the modular design - expandable Zalda Marine Monitoring & Control Platform ( MMCS ) is a powerful, advanced open structure for integration of marine monitoring, equipment status monitoring, equipment control / automation and system management. With a vision of tomorrow's fully automated harbor, Zalda designed the MMCS to be part of the harbor digital infra structure to meet expanding future needs. To put together custom safety - productivity enhancement solutions across various harbor applications, the MMCS system embraces various MMCS core components and extension components, such as Local Interface Stations ( MMCS-LIS), Central Monitoring & Control Stations (MMCS-CS), wireless handheld devices, marine sensors, marine motors / actuator controls, as well as 3rd party equipments with industry standard IO. Typical MMCS berthing - mooring monitoring applications include equipment status monitoring ( HSM ) / mooring load monitoring & analysis ( MLM ) / vessel berthing status monitoring & analysis ( BSM ) / marine environment monitoring ( MEM ); typical MMCS berthing - mooring control functions include electric motor / actuator control (ACM) and network power support & control system ( SUPS ). Upon request, Zalda also provide custom solutions to integrate customer equipments and applications into the MMCS system, as well as data interface necessary for integration of MMCS system into other monitoring and control systems. ( See relevant MMCS brochures. )

Multi Purposes Multi Functions 

Although sometimes proposed as a single purpose system, such as laser docking aid system, MMCS platform was developed with many common industrial applications in mind. All MMCS stations are flexible multifunctional units capable of almost all common monitoring, control and system management tasks conceivable and are designed to meet expanding needs with existing structure.

Network Monitoring & Control Concept 

MMCS platform duplicates the already extensive monitoring & control functionalities of every field Local Interface Station for network broadcast, enabling every station in the network to serve as a central control room and perform the monitoring & control functions of all stations within the entire system.

Modular Design - Open Structure 

To grow with new technologies and changing customer demands, MMCS platform hardware and software components are built upon modular function blocks. These function blocks can be mixed and matched to work in different configurations and function groups that fit in the customer's appetite and wallet. MMCS core devices ( Local Interface Stations ( LIS ), Data Exchange Stations ( DES ) or Central Stations ( CS ) come with built in spare processing power, storage and IO, as well as industry standard software and hardware interfaces designed to expand with mainstream technology and a wide range of equipments, whether they are Zalda equipments, end user equipments or 3rd party equipments. Modular structure and open structure give MMCS customers the peace of mind that their existing system can adapt and expand with future demands at minimal cost.

Reliable Safety Strategy 

A variety of safety strategies complement the extensive capabilities of MMCS. To minimize risks associated with human errors, hardware failures, and intentional intrusions, attention was paid to every details pertaining safety, such as user login / authorization, data transfer encryption and reconciliation, crisis management strategy, and data backup & recovery.

MMCS now offers following application systems:

1. MLM Mooring Load Monitoring System

2. BSM Berthing Status Monitoring System

3. MEM Marine Environmental Monitoring System

4. HSM - ACM Marine Equipment Status Monitoring and Control System

All MMCS applications are developed on one platform.  Features common to all MMCS applications including: 

Multi function stations such as Local Interface Stations and Central Monitoring & Control Stations can be used to form single purpose application system at initial purchase. But all single purpose system can be expanded into multifunctional multi berth multi channel marine monitoring & control system with simultaneous equipment status / mooring load / vessel berthing - drifting / marine environment monitoring capabilities, and equipment network operation control / power on-off control capabilities. Future expansions on all MMCS systems can be performed with Zalda MMCS hardware / software components, or at customer's choice, 3rd equipment supported by MMCS open structure. 

• Modular design, open structure and built in multi monitoring / control capability allows any MMCS-MLM system to grow with changing needs at minimum cost and effort 

• Every station can serve as multi function central monitoring & control terminal. See LIS / CS literature for details 

• Multimedia stands for audio, visual, video. 

• Multi Channel stands for station data interface & AV alarms, external AV alarm, large display, mobile device interface, network device interface 

• Interactive network monitoring & control, real time automation programming, network power control, video integration, audio assisted monitoring, and configurable mobile device platform are some of the "first of its kind" advance functions amongst it peers. 

• Developed for harbor applications, MMCS is a general industrial monitoring and control platform that can easily adapt to other marine or general industrial monitoring and control / automation applications, such as loading arm monitoring and control application. Zalda also customize MMCS applications system to project requirements or customer preferences
