The system is 100% based on Finnish workmanship, which is reflected in the overall quality and integrity of it.
The i-VMS family of systems is based on a well proven yet modern concept that is based on software modules and components, making the system highly flexible with respect to extension of both functionality and scalability.
The i-VMS system is a truly integrated system, offering functionality and ease of use unmatched by the competition. The i-VMS system is capable of delivering a complete solution with respect to all possible requirements. The system offers a wide range of functionality such as built-in voice communication, multi-media logging & replay. In addition the system may be used for aids to navigation, ship reporting, AIS, voyage management, as well as military command and control functionality.
In order to utilize modern computer and information technology, the i-VMS system is based on COTS products, significantly reducing operating costs. The system software is based on the Java programming language, enabling the system software to be executed on virtually any kind of computer platform, further reducing costs and ensuring a maximum system life-length.
Navielektro offers systems ranging from sensors, telecommunication, processing, logging and presentation as well as services in planning, requirements specification, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The system is under constant development and new features are constantly being introduced in co-operation with civilian, security and military customers.

i-VMS Control Center
The ergonomics of a control center are always tailored to suite the operational requirements and needs. The i-VMS is merely a tool that aids the operator and the organization to achieve the set goals as easily and as cost effectively as possible. Navielektro is one of the few vendors in the whole business that has the capability of offering itscustomers a one-stop-shop withrespect to systems integration and life-cycle management. Navielektro has in-house products for presentation and processing software, sensors, voicecommunication systems, weather information systems, aids to navigation, etc. Navielektro has created the largest coherent VTMS system in operational use today, namely the Finnish VTMS consisting operator workstation image02of 5 interconnected control centers.
Navielektro is capable of offering control center solutions for harbors and ports as well as large nationalsystems.The control centers may be equipped with either a simple cost-effective system or high-availability redundant processing systems with hot-standby units and processes that guarantee non-stop operation of the system. System solution from Navielektro usually easily exceed IALArequirements of99.9% availability andsystem with up to 99.99% availability may be offered using totally COTS solutions.

i-VMS System Integration Philosophy
The i-VMS system is a truly integrated system, offering functionality unmatched by the competition. The i-VMS system is capable of delivering a turn-key solution with respect to all possible requirements. The system offersfunctionality such as built-in voice communication, multi-media logging & replay as well as management of aids to navigation, ship reporting, AIS, voyage management, aids to navigation as well as military command and control functionality.
All operator configurations are setup based on a role that the operator assumes at login. The i-VMS system may be deployed to virtually all surveillance environments from mobile to fixed. The i-VMS employs a totally flexible use of the available display area. All functionality ranging from the situation picture, track lists, voyage plans, aids to navigation information, weather information and other functions may be placed on any of the screens at the i-VMS operator working position. The information at your fingertips technology reduces the number of required screens, keyboards, mice and other auxiliary equipment required at the operator working position.

i-VMS Consoles are custom-designed with the user in mind.The consoles may be designed to any requirement and budget from simple desks to adjustable working surfaces that suit all environments and operators. Navielektro is dedicated not only to delivering a state-of-the-art systems, but to offering a state-of-the-art operating environment as well. Especially in dense traffic areas the heavy use of VHF usually requires special attention to be given to design and planning.
The i-VMS consoles enable the operators to adjust the console in order to suit personal requirements. The consoles may include motors that adjust console height and similar adjustments at the press of a button.
Design of console and operator working environments may be done using sophisticated 3D modeling enabling the customer to visualize the environment before actual implementation.

JMAP Operation Workstation Software tracking_image
i-VMS JMAP is a state of the art presentation and control system, based on the latest innovations in general HMI design.The JMAP software combines several functions in one workstation, radar, AIS, AtoN management, seamless handling of voyage management information, CCTV, weather information, air situation picture, multi-fuel chart and GIS presentation and optional MIL-STD-2525B symbology.
The multi-fuel chart system is capable of managing proprietary charts as well as S/57&S/52/Inland ECDIS, ESRI, VPF compatible chart information. The system is capable of instant messaging, secure E-Mail and tactical message exchange as well as multi-user geographic collaboration tools.
Other features includes dynamic vectors and labeling, multi-layer transparent maps, advanced multi-media record and replay, user definable layout, menus, colors and label sets, system monitoring, map overlay drawing tools, etc.
The JMAP can be connected to a very wide variety of different data interfaces, ASTERIX Radar, AIS, RADS (Radar Data Server), NETFMS-Track Fusion and Management System, etc.
The JMAP is supplied with displays ranging from 14" to 28" (1280x1024) to (2K x 2K) to 4:3 to 16:10 TFT LCD screens. The JMAP software and standard hardware is multi-window and multi-screen capable.
