Monitoring & Digital Switching
MEI cannot stress enough the importance of a great vessel monitoring and control system.
Maretron & C-Zone consistently find themselves at the head of the class. Not only for safely keeping an eye on your boat, but monitoring the most crucial system resources. There are a multitude of end-user interface products that will allow you to see and monitor your vessel from afar. NMEA 2000 gateways and bridges, Tank monitoring, Engine monitoring, Electrical monitoring and control, General monitoring plus Navigation instruments are just a few of the many crucial systems which can be viewed from Android, iPhone & iPad.

MEI is equipped to handle all CZone programming.
CZone digital switching incorporates newer technology to make controlling and monitoring of complex electrical systems much easier and user-friendly. CZone replaces and removes multiplex switches and fuse panels with optimum cutting-edge technology. These powerful interfaces and a light NMEA 2000 network cable are the main components to Czone digital switching systems. This provides a sophisticated but user friendly solution delivered via automation of the control and monitoring issues required by your vessel. MEI takes the complexities out of Vessel monitoring and control systems and lets you rest assured that everything is under control at the dock or on the open ocean.
CZone permits the user to have control over multiple circuits with ‘One Touch’ to drastically streamline and make operations much easier. You can now have complete control potentially available at your disposal at any point in the NMEA network. Fingertip 1 touch control is available all over and anywhere around the boat, through the dedicated CZone screens, smart devices, a remote keyfob, or through the navigational Multi-Function Displays of our integration partners.
By dispersing and reorganizing your installation, it’s possible to create a smarter much more efficient digital switching system with much less cable.
This also means much less weight, which equals less fuel consumption. You also lessen your chances of the cable becoming compromised due to chafing in cramped quarter,s not to mention the tolls of the marine environment. Switchboards are replaced by decentralized power outputs, which are controlled by the NMEA network. The majority of these are pre-built and flexible to allow modular installation of the electrical system. MEI favors the user-friendly plug-and-play connection of modules and wiring harnesses that exponentially speed up the installation process. The decentralized CZone digital switching system also offers greater flexibility in electrical and electronic equipment layout. OEMs commend CZone for their optimum use of available space in commonly overcrowded areas loaded with equipment.
