Industrial computing and edge solution developer OnLogic has launched a new range of DNV certified industrial computing solutions designed to solve the global maritime industry’s most persistent technical challenges. As maritime operations undergo rapid digital transformation, they face the dual challenge of meeting strict international standards while enduring the harsh environmental conditions of the high seas. This new lineup of hardware addresses those hurdles by offering pre-certified reliability for critical bridge, control room and engine room applications.

For maritime operators, system integrators and equipment manufacturers, the stakes are high. Using uncertified hardware on a vessel can lead to immediate failure during audits, potential loss of vessel certification and costly operational delays. Furthermore, because commercial hardware lifecycles are often short, integrators frequently face the burden of constant redesigns and re-certifications.
OnLogic is moving to solve these persistent issues by offering DNV certified solutions. These systems have been tested to meet the non-negotiable international standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and environmental resilience, ensuring they can be installed on the navigation bridge, in control rooms and in critical infrastructure areas without interfering with sensitive communication equipment.
These solutions are specifically optimized for three primary use cases:
- Navigation bridge and integrated console systems: Powering Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) and radar data interfaces where EMC compliance is paramount.
- Engine room monitoring and energy optimization: Serving as data acquisition gateways for telemetry, such as vibration, temperature and fuel consumption, to inform predictive maintenance algorithms.
- Secure fleet management and offshore internet of things (IoT): Consolidating data rom shipboard sensors and transmitting aggregated information to shore-based operations.
- Certified reliability for harsh environments
The OnLogic maritime-ready line includes a range of rugged and industrial systems, as well as hardened panel PCs and touchscreens. These devices help maritime professionals make the most complex shipboard projects possible.
Key features include:
- DNV certification: Verified compliance for high-stakes environments, reducing the regulatory risk for integrators.
- Fanless options: By eliminating the need for fans, these systems resist internal damage from dust and other airborne debris, ensuring maximum uptime even in non-climate-controlled installations.
- Longevity through design: OnLogic provides a controlled bill of materials and 5+ year product lifecycles to eliminate the headache of obsolescence and mid-project redesigns.
- Modern and legacy connectivity: Platforms are highly configurable with essential connectivity to interface with shipboard systems, including multiple COM and LAN ports, to bridge older navigation sensors with modern Ethernet, wireless and IoT networks.
