Seaward Automation, in partnership with Robosys Automation, announced the launch of enhanced functionality for its Command™ software platform at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, introducing integrated Remote Command and Autonomous Navigation capabilities powered by Robosys Automation’s VOYAGER AI.
Command™ delivers a single, intuitive interface for complete vessel operations, presenting all critical onboard systems in real time. With this latest release, the platform now incorporates intelligent navigation and remote operational capability – marking a significant step toward fully connected and increasingly autonomous vessel control.
A Unified Platform for Control and Navigation
Designed for both OEM integration and retrofit applications, Command™ ensures seamless deployment across a wide range of vessels – from recreational craft to sports fishing boats.
By integrating Robosys VOYAGER AI as its embedded autonomy engine, Seaward Command™ now combines real-time monitoring of all critical vessel systems, centralized command and control functionality, Intelligent navigation and guidance, together with remote operational capability from off-vessel locations.
This delivers a single-view experience, simplifying vessel management while enhancing operator awareness and control both onboard and remotely.
Integrated Remote Command and Autonomous Navigation
The enhanced Command™ platform introduces an Onboard and Remote Command functionality. It also enables Autonomous Track and Route Follow, allowing vessels to execute planned routes with precision, with Command™ delivering seamless coordination between onboard systems and navigation intelligence.
Robosys VOYAGER AI operates as a fully integrated software integration within Command™, enabling advanced autonomy and remote decision-making without adding complexity to the user interface.
The Pathway to Fully Autonomous Operations
This release represents the first stage in a broader autonomy roadmap for Seaward Automation. Future developments are expected to include Autonomous Collision Avoidance, Obstacle Detection and Avoidance, Anti-Grounding Protection, Enhanced Remote Helm control capabilities, and Station Keeping and Dynamic Positioning functionality.
Together, these capabilities position Command™ as a future-ready platform designed to evolve toward fully autonomous vessel operation, while maintaining intuitive human oversight.
“Robosys’ VOYAGER AI software is a highly beneficial addition to Seaward’s software stack,” said John Digertt, CEO, of Seaward Automation. “Our Command™ product line is focused on complete vessel control, and by adding autonomous guidance and navigation alongside remote operational capability, we can offer a truly comprehensive vessel operation platform.”
Aditya Nawab, CEO of Robosys Automation comments: “We are delighted to partner with Seaward Automation. By integrating VOYAGER AI within Command™, we are enabling intelligent navigation and remote vessel operation to be delivered through a seamless, unified intuitive interface -bringing advanced autonomy into practical, real-world use.”
The enhanced Command™ platform is being showcased at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where attendees can experience understand how unified vessel control, intelligent navigation, and remote operational capability are transforming marine operations.
