Cyclops Marine: Smart Rig Manager software translates real-time load telemetry for onboard displays

Cyclops Marine has introduced Smart Rig Manager software, which converts raw data from wireless load sensors into graphical guidance on standard multi-function displays. Operating via the multiGATEWAY hub, the system enables riggers and crew to monitor rig tension directly against original design specifications and dynamic safe working limits.

The interface divides rig monitoring into static tuning, active sailing, and post-passage evaluation. Pre-set parameters guide static adjustments at the dock, while live telemetry offers split-screen warnings when loads approach configurable limits. Accumulated data logs peak stress events during heavy weather, giving operators concrete information to inform reefing strategies and schedule structural inspections.

  • System requirements: Cyclops wireless load sensors and multiGATEWAY interface unit
  • Display integration: Native split-screen support for standard MFD navigation pages
  • Dock Tune module: Visual target load dials aligned with manufacturer rig specifications
  • Live Sailing module: Real-time load monitoring against custom Safe Working Load (SWL) thresholds
  • Trip Analysis module: Continuous load recording, overload event tracking, and historical data review
