Similar to automotive, we experience a disruptive market development in the marine sector. Especially with regard to the rapidly advancing technological development topics such as autonomous shipping, sustainability, networking, and digitisation concepts or advanced data analytics play a major role.
The digitalisation of ship and maritime systems requires more than just connectivity alone. It requires robust, secure and standards-compliant control systems that operate with high reliability in demanding maritime environments.
Alongside Industrial IoT capabilities, Weidmüller provides complete industrial control system solutions – including automation, power supply, connectivity and data infrastructure – designed with cyber security as a fundamental requirement. This enables secure monitoring, control and optimisation of marine systems throughout their entire lifecycle.
Networked marine installations place high demands on availability, reliability and cyber resilience. Control systems and industrial IoT components must be able to withstand harsh ambient conditions whilst protecting safety- and mission-critical functions from cyber threats.
We support customers in the maritime sector with the design and implementation of secure, end-to-end control system architecturesfor marine applications. From field level anddata acquisition to control, communication and higher-level systems, our solutions are technology-open, standards-based and practical – thereby providing a secure foundation for sustainable digital solutions.
Cyber security embedded in the control system design
The increasing interconnection of on-board systems makes industrial cyber security a core competence for modern marine applications. Secure digitalisation starts with the control system as an integrated design principle.
Weidmüller’s control systems and industrial IoT solutions are developed to support “secure-by-design” architectures, taking into account not only cybersecurity, availability and regulatory compliance, but also functional requirements.
Regulatory frameworks such as IACS UR E26 and UR E27 highlight the importance of cyber resilience for ships and on-board systems. These requirements confirm that cyber security is a fundamental prerequisite for the secure operation of networked maritime systems and not an optional feature.
The goal is to enable digitalisation, remote access and data-driven optimisation, without compromising the security, integrity or availability of critical maritime control systems.
At Weidmüller, we attach the greatest importance to safety and quality. In addition to our rigorous internal testing procedures, our products are approved by various classification societies such as DnV GL, Lloyds register, ABS, RINA Bureau Veritas, and more. Furthermore our products fulfil the requirements of all important marine approvals.
