SEA.AI and TimeZero Announce Compatibility

SEA.AI has partnered with TimeZero to integrate Sentry's Machine Vision technology into TZ Professional software.

Elevating Safety Through Technology

This collaboration is designed to bridge the gap in situational awareness by combining sensors on the same interface, significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and comfort for mariners worldwide. 

"By integrating SEA.AI's advanced detection capabilities with our TZ Professional software, we are not just improving maritime safety; we are transforming how mariners interact with the sea. This partnership is a leap into the future of navigation, where technology acts as the mariner's sixth sense, constantly vigilant and reliable."

Over the past five years, SEA.AI has been at the forefront of maritime safety innovation with its AI-driven vision technology.

By integrating thermal and optical cameras with advanced machine learning algorithms, SEA.AI’s system detects and classifies floating objects in real time, even the ones that escape radar or AIS systems, such as boats without AIS, floating debris, and individuals overboard. 

SEA.AI’s flagship product, Sentry, equipped with two thermal cameras and two low-light cameras, can for example automatically detect small buoys or people overboard from distances of up to 700 meters.

This real-time visual data analysis significantly enhances situational awareness, enabling early and reliable hazard identification by providing crucial warnings to crews. 

"Our mission has always been to safeguard mariners using the power of technology. Working with TimeZero enables us to embed our vision directly into the navigation process and combine the data of other equipment onboard, enhancing every aspect of maritime voyages. Together, we're not just integrating systems; we're building the future of safe and intelligent navigation."

Why TIMEZERO Compatibility Matters

With almost 40 years of history and innovation, TimeZero has been the cornerstone of maritime software, providing full control and performance for thousands of mariners globally.

TZ Professional software is renowned for its superior control, performance, and comprehensive navigational features designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional mariners.

With innovations such as compatibility with TZ MAPS charts, Smart Radar mode, and new AIS features, TZ Professional offers an intuitive and powerful platform for maritime navigation.

Enhanced Situational Awareness  

Integrating SEA.AI Sentry’s object detection capabilities with TZ Pro Software, a comprehensive suite of navigational tools, allows mariners to:

  • seamlessly combine collision avoidance equipment such as AIS and radar with real-time visual data analysis;
  • bridge the gap in situational awareness, providing mariners with an unprecedented level of insight into their surroundings and greatly enhancing safety at sea. 

Increased Comfort and Efficiency 

This integration:

  • facilitates better-informed decision-making by providing mariners with detailed information about potential hazards, weather conditions, and navigational obstacles;
  • ensures that mariners have access to a user-friendly interface, simplifying the process of monitoring and controlling the different electronics on board;
  • reduces the workload and stress levels of those at sea.
