Groke Pro - Digital Watchkeeper & Intelligent Companion

Crews face various challenges while keeping watch 24/7: poor visibility, stressful environment, and inadequate situational overview of the vessel surroundings.

Groke Pro is a digital watchkeeper. It reduces crew stress and frees the crew from watchkeeping to spend more time on more critical tasks. The day and night cameras, combined with machine vision technology, oversee vessel surroundings 24/7, even in the most demanding conditions.

Not designed to replace existing systems but to complement them, Groke Pro combines data from all systems and provides a real-time risk analysis supporting the crew’s decision-making. An intuitive User Interface enables more efficient communication among the crew.

Sensor Fusion - How it works?

Groke Pro Awareness System collects information from multiple sources. The system uses two wide-field-of-view cameras with day and night vision. Objects around the vessel are detected by utilizing Machine Vision technology for the day and thermal camera images. Additional information about the detected objects is received from radar and AIS. GNSS, IMU, and Sea Charts are used to identify your vessel’s position and movements

Groke’s Sensor Fusion technology combines data from all the sensors mentioned above. The information based on the processed data provides the most accurate and reliable understanding of the vessel’s surroundings. All information is clearly presented on an intuitive tablet-based interface.

Sensor Fusion technology, combined with a superb User Experience, reduces navigation stress and offers peace of mind during the operation in all conditions, regardless of vessel type.

Ingredients of Groke Pro

Preferred installation location for sensor unit on tankers is in non-EX/ATEX locations meaning either mast or on compass deck above bridge. The central unit shall be installed in close vicinity to bridge into an air conditioned or well ventilated  space.

Preferred installation location for sensor unit on cargo vessels is either mast or on compass deck above bridge. The central unit shall be installed in close vicinity to bridge into an air conditioned or well ventilated space.

Preferred installation location for sensor unit on large and ultra large vessels is either mast or on compass deck above birdge. On larger vessels there is also the possibility of installing the sensor unit to fore mast but this needs to reviewed case by case. The central unit shall be installed in close vicinity to bridge into an air conditioned  or well ventilated space.
