When Space, Weight, or Cost is a Problem,

Technology Takes Over!

You can take a large amount of bridge control and monitoring functions and shrink them down to S1^ x 11 inch sheets of technology, solving the space problem associated with bridge design.

It also lets you take advantage of an ABS, USCG approved data buss that eliminates the cable runs to the bridge while still controlling and monitoring all systems assigned.

The process is as easy as faxing us an 8^2 x 11 inch sheet of control and monitoring items and we will provide a return fax of a panel design which does it all in a fraction of the space, weight, cable and labor associated with the traditional method. Two wires to the panel shown does it all. s
