The shipboard electrical environment has unique characteristics: strong electromagnetic interference, the ship's hull serving as a common ground causing ground potential differences between devices, frequent power supply fluctuations, and harsh environments with humidity and salt spray. For critical equipment (navigation, communications, automation control, and monitoring systems), isolated power supply modules are essential protection measures.
Customer background needs analysis We spoke with a seasoned sailor (Frankie), a boat owner who frequently sails across Europe. He shared his years of searching for a touchscreen suitable for marine use. A devoted user of OpenCPN charting software, he was troubled by the lack of quality screens on the market that were truly suitable for outdoor marine use. Problems with traditional products mentioned by Frankie After years of testing various products, Frank summarized the core problems that existing touch panels face in marine environments: 1. Severe parallax issues - Traditional screens often struggle to accurately control touchscreens in turbulent sea conditions, leading to frequent misoperations. 2. Narrow viewing angle - While the display is accurate from a single viewing angle, it becomes difficult to see the screen content at a distance from the bridge or at other angles, and multi-angle viewing is poor. 3. Inadequate brightness - Many advertisers fail to achieve the brightness they claim, or even significantly undercut it, making the display unreadable even in strong sunlight. 4. Defective dimming function - The dimming function fails to adjust the screen to a comfortable level and can only be adjusted over a wide range, making it insufficient for nighttime use. 5. Multi-touch issues - The screen is unresponsive when wet or with wet hands, resulting in poor operation and misoperation. In severe cases, the screen may even become unusable. 6. Unintelligent brightness adjustment - During unpredictable daytime weather, it would be beneficial if the display had an automatic brightness adjustment feature, which would greatly enhance the user experience and save energy.
When you are driving a fishing boat on the sea to find an ideal fishing spot, you need to constantly observe the fish information displayed on the fishfinder. However, the traditional Garmin fishfinder screen may not meet your needs. In bright sunlight or when multiple people are fishing, a single screen seems to be unable to do the job. The captain needs to focus on driving, while the anglers need to know the distribution of fish schools underwater in real time, but everyone is crowded in front of a screen to view the information, which is inconvenient and easy to miss important fish information. The limitations of small-sized Garmin screens (less than 12 inches) are particularly evident in fishing activities. First, the screen size limits the effect of multiple people watching at the same time; second, the fixed installation position makes it difficult for viewers at different angles to obtain a clear display effect; finally, in a strong light environment, the visibility of the small screen is greatly reduced, affecting the efficiency and safety of fishing. Therefore, a solution that can achieve dual-screen display becomes very necessary. By adding a second display screen, not only can the display area be expanded, but more people can also obtain fish information at the same time, greatly enhancing the experience and fun of fishing activities. The SL600W and SL700W series touch displays are high-performance mirror screens designed specifically for the Garmin GPSMAP series. They can instantly expand your small-sized Garmin fish finder into a larger display interface. This product mainly solves the core problems of information sharing difficulties, small screens, and inconvenience for multiple people to watch during fishing activities. Whether it is a casual fishing enthusiast, a professional fishing fleet, or a fishing club or a competitive fishing competition organizer, this product can significantly improve the user experience.
