AtoN remote monitoring
Track every light, buoy and AIS AtoN station on one digital map, with instant alerts when a light fails, power drops or a buoy drags off station.
Vessel patrols are slow and costly: a failed AtoN can go unnoticed for days, directly hurting the availability targets recommended by IALA – 99.8% for Category 1, 99.0% for Category 2 and 97.0% for Category 3.
Key features
Real-time status map
Each AtoN is colour-coded: operating, warning, fault or offline.
Instant alarms
Lamp failure, low battery, poor solar charge, off-station position (geofence) – via email, SMS or app.
Remote control
Change flash character, switch on/off and reconfigure where supported.
Availability reporting
Monthly/quarterly statistics by IALA category, exported to Excel/PDF for regulators.
Multi-bearer communications
4G/GSM, satellite and AIS (application specific messages) – chosen per site.
Maintenance log
Fault history, equipment replacements and maintenance planning.
System architecture
Deployment components
