Function Description

QUADRANS is a fully solid-state, maintenance-free compass and attitude reference system based on advanced Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscope (iFOG) technology. It is certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the High-Speed Craft (HSC) code, and is widely used in commercial vessels, Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), and offshore engineering platforms. Designed with plug-and-play functionality and ease of integration, it supports Ethernet and serial communication interfaces, and includes a built-in web-based Human-Machine Interface (Web MMI), eliminating the need for a dedicated display unit (CDU).

Product Features

  • Plug-and-Play Design: Easy installation and rapid deployment.

  • Fully Solid-State Structure: No moving parts, enhancing reliability and durability.

  • Maintenance-Free: No maintenance required throughout its entire lifecycle, reducing total cost of ownership.

  • Fast Setup: Can be set up in under 30 minutes under various conditions.

  • High Integration: Supports multiple communication interfaces, easily integrates with existing systems.

  • High Reliability: Suitable for harsh marine environments, with automatic speed and latitude correction functions.

  • Built-in Web-based Human-Machine Interface: Allows operation and configuration without the need for a dedicated display unit.
