GDFS Essequibo

Modernization of control and supervision systems

O navio patrulha GDFS Essequibo, comissionado à Marinha Britânica em 1985 e posteriormente vendido a um país sul-americano em 2001, teve seus sistemas de controle e supervisão atualizados com a tecnologia dos produtos e soluções Altus.

Control and supervision system for the GDFS Essequibo

The modernization, carried out by a Rio de Janeiro-based company, involves extensive upgrades to the control systems for the ship’s crane, propulsion (main engines and propellers), auxiliary machinery, and emergency generator—systems that are critical to the vessel’s overall operation.

For this project, Altus provided two of its flagship products: the Nexto Series programmable controllers and the SCADA/HMI BluePlant software. These modern, high-performance controllers use state-of-the-art technology to ensure reliability and connectivity, meeting the standards set by leading global certification bodies.
