Innovation in Navigation on inland waterways
Recently, Radio Holland introduced an innovative addition to its IWW Pro line: a fiber‑optic gyro for the Sense Rate of Turn Indicator. This new technology is a big step forward in the digitalization and reliability of inland navigation.
The Sense Rate of Turn Indicator uses fiber‑optic technology instead of the traditional mechanical gyro principle. What results in:
- Exceptional stability and accuracy
- Reliable performance regardless of ship movement, shocks, and vibrations
- No moving parts so minimal wear
As the gyro has no mechanical components, the system provide a more consistent performance while lowering operational downtime.
Recognized innovation; This breakthrough was awarded an Innovation Award during its introduction at the Maritime Industry exhibition.
