01 — INTEGRATED AUTOMATION
One automation layer for the entire vessel.
An Integrated Automation System connects the vessel’s machinery and operational systems into a common monitoring and control environment.
DOKSAL designs and develops IAS solutions combining PLC-based control, HMI and SCADA, alarm management, industrial communication and data acquisition according to the vessel’s operational requirements.
The objective is simple: give the crew the information and control they need, when they need it.
02 — SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
From field signals to the operator.
A marine automation system depends on every layer working together. We engineer the control architecture from field instrumentation through PLCs, communication networks and operator supervision.
01
FIELD
Sensors, switches, transmitters, valves, actuators and machinery signals.
02
CONTROL
PLCs, RTUs, remote I/O and control logic responsible for automatic operation.
03
NETWORK
Industrial communication between control systems, intelligent devices and third-party equipment.
04
SUPERVISION
HMI, SCADA, alarms, trends, events and operator information.
05
VESSEL
IAS integration with PMS, propulsion and other vessel-wide systems.
03 — WHAT WE ENGINEER
The control layer behind the vessel.
From individual control functions to complete vessel-wide automation, our engineering covers the hardware, software, visualization and communication layers required for a dependable marine automation system.
CONTROL
PLC & Control Logic
Control sequences, interlocks, permissives and automatic operation of vessel machinery.
MONITORING
Machinery Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of pressures, temperatures, levels, flows, speeds and equipment status.
ALARMS
Alarm & Event Management
Alarm priorities, acknowledgement, event logging, alarm history and operator notification.
VISUALIZATION
HMI & SCADA
Clear operator interfaces designed around vessel operation and machinery hierarchy.
COMMUNICATION
System Integration
Integration of PLCs, remote I/O, intelligent devices and third-party systems.
DATA
Historian & Performance
Historical data, trends, operational values and performance information for analysis.
04 — VESSEL SYSTEMS
One system. Many interfaces.
IAS does not exist in isolation. Modern vessels depend on multiple machinery and control systems working together. We build the automation environment around those interfaces.
PROPULSION
Main Engine
Monitoring and control interfaces for propulsion machinery and associated auxiliary systems.
POWER
Auxiliary Engines
Generator monitoring and integration with power management systems.
FUEL
Tank & Fuel Systems
Tank levels, fuel transfer, consumption and related machinery monitoring.
MACHINERY
Pumps & Compressors
Automatic sequences, protection, status monitoring and control.
HVAC
Ventilation & HVAC
Monitoring and control of ventilation and HVAC equipment across the vessel.
AUXILIARY
Deck & Auxiliary Systems
Integration of vessel auxiliary machinery and operational equipment.
05 — SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Designed to communicate.
Modern vessels rarely operate with equipment from a single manufacturer.
We integrate automation systems with existing PLCs, intelligent devices and third-party equipment while maintaining a consistent operator environment.
06 — RETROFIT & MODERNIZATION
Modernize the automation.
Keep the vessel working.
Legacy automation systems can become difficult to maintain as hardware becomes obsolete and spare parts disappear. A carefully engineered retrofit can extend the operational life of an existing vessel while improving reliability and maintainability.
Legacy PLC Replacement
Replace obsolete control hardware while preserving required machinery interfaces and functionality.
HMI Modernization
Upgrade outdated operator interfaces with clearer visualization, alarms and system navigation.
I/O & Communication Upgrade
Improve field connectivity and communication between existing and new automation equipment.
Control Logic Migration
Re-engineer existing control sequences and migrate automation logic to modern platforms.
07 — ENGINEERING PROCESS
From engineering
to operation.
A reliable IAS starts long before the commissioning team steps onboard. We approach the project as an engineering process from system definition through testing, sea trials and lifecycle support.
System Engineering
Functional design, architecture, I/O definition, network structure, control philosophy and system documentation.
Software & Integration
PLC logic, HMI, SCADA, alarm management, communication protocols and integration with third-party equipment.
FAT & Commissioning
Factory testing, onboard installation support, commissioning, troubleshooting and functional verification.
Sea Trials & Lifecycle Support
Performance verification at sea followed by technical support, upgrades, maintenance and future system expansion.
