Auto-Pilot Upgrade from Simrad AP-50 to AP-70 | Storgetech Solutions Limited
Smooth navigation depends on reliable auto-pilot systems, and sometimes an upgrade is the best way to achieve improved performance. Our team at Storgetech Solutions Limited recently carried out a successful transition from the Simrad AP-50 to the more advanced Simrad AP-70, giving the vessel greater precision, reliability, and user-friendly controls.
The Challenge
The vessel’s existing AP-50 had served well over the years, but with advancing technology and the need for improved performance, the owner wanted a system that offered more precision, reliability, and user-friendly controls.
Our Approach
-
Inspection and Assessment – Our technicians inspected the existing AP-50 installation, wiring, and components to determine compatibility and the best way to transition to the AP-70 system.
-
Seamless Removal – We carefully dismantled the old system while preserving all connections and control surfaces for the new upgrade.
-
Installation of the AP-70 – The new system was installed with precision, ensuring proper alignment and full integration with the vessel’s navigation equipment.
-
Testing and Calibration – After installation, our team carried out system calibration and sea trials to confirm smooth steering performance and reliability in real operating conditions.
The Result
The upgrade was a complete success. The new Simrad AP-70 provides the vessel with improved control, a more intuitive interface, and enhanced dependability for safe and efficient navigation.
