AIS and monitoring
AIS and Monitoring Systems are a key part of reliable Aids to Navigation (AtoN) infrastructure. These systems support the oversight of lights, fog signals, racons, and power supplies from a distance, helping operators maintain performance and address issues promptly. Designed for use in coastal and offshore environments, they are built to handle long-term exposure to harsh weather and challenging conditions.
Systems typically allow status reports to be sent at set intervals or triggered by specific events. Parameters such as light output, battery voltage, or door access can be monitored and reported. Many units can be linked via satellite, cellular, or AIS messaging, providing flexibility depending on the location and operating conditions.
 Installation is straightforward and often suited to solar-powered AtoN setups. Low power consumption and rugged housing mean the systems can operate continuously with minimal upkeep.
Why Use AIS & Monitoring in AtoN?
Monitoring and AIS Systems make it easier to oversee large networks of navigational aids without constant site visits. They allow technical staff to verify equipment status, respond to alerts, and adjust settings remotely. This can reduce operational costs and ensure that lights and signals stay in compliance with marine authority requirements.
In addition, the ability to detect faults quickly helps prevent downtime and supports safer navigation, especially in remote areas or during poor weather when access to sites may be limited.
Choosing the Right AIS & Monitoring System
The most effective systems are those that:
 •	Support remote access using standard communication protocols
 •	Work with existing AtoN equipment from various suppliers
 •	Offer simple, menu-based configuration and diagnostics
 •	Are designed for long-term marine use with corrosion-resistant materials
 •	Require little maintenance and draw minimal power
 Using AIS and Monitoring Systems not only improves the reliability of AtoN networks, but also reduces the need for reactive maintenance. Whether for a single lantern or a large array of stations, these tools are an efficient way to ensure equipment performs as expected, day and night, year-round.
