Adhering to the principle of "quality first, integrity as the basis", the company has a strict quality control system. Key equipment (such as engine telegraph, steering wheels, and integrated onboard units) are all marine equipment that meets industrial standards, is moisture-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, while supporting 24/7 continuous operation. The software has passed 300+ hours of stress testing to ensure system stability. In addition, it offers the following technical advantages:
① Web-based Architecture: Systems such as electronic charts, CONNING, GMDSS, and navigational instrument software are developed using the web, supporting multi-client logins (computer web pages/applications). Students can access their learning remotely, reducing site restrictions.
② High-precision Mathematical Model: The six-degree-of-freedom motion model covers inter-vessel effects, shallow water effects, and shore effects, supporting simulation of various propulsion devices such as fixed-pitch and variable-pitch propellers and water jets.
③ Scene Rendering Technology: The 3D scene utilizes realistic terrain textures and dynamic water effects, with trees swaying in response to wind and waves, and navigation lights and types of target ship complying with the light arc range requirements of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisiond at Sea (COLREGs)

④ Multi-device Integration: Radar simulation includes realistic effects such as co-channel interference and shadow sectors, while the GMDSS system simulates NAVTEX/VHF/MF/HF equipment, ensuring consistent operational logic with real vessels. To meet the needs of diverse customer groups, the company offers a comprehensive one-stop service package, covering the entire pre-sales, sales, and after-sales process.
The services are as follows:
① Pre-sales Service: Site planning (including field of view measurement and equipment layout), custom requirements (such as adding new ship models), and solution verification support.
② In-sales Support: Equipment installation and commissioning (including TV splicing and network deployment), instructor training (software operation and troubleshooting), and assistance with Maritime Administration acceptance inspections.
③ After-sales Service: One-year free warranty (including hardware replacement and software upgrades), 24/7 technical response, and lifetime system optimization recommendations.
