Overview

ELNAV.AI is a startup dedicated to improving marine navigation safety by developing systems with state-of-the-art technology. ELNAV.AI joined the maritime, information technology, electrotechnical engineering, and marketing sectors for such an endeavor. One of our products currently under development is the Helm Order Monitor. Helm Order Monitor is the first technological solution to the problem of insufficient monitoring of helm orders between helmsmen and pilots or navigators onboard ships. Did you know that the disaster of Costa Concordia happened due to the helmsman applying the helm on the wrong side shortly before the impact? We are fixing this problem with an electronic device that combines automatic speech recognition and data from the ship’s sensors. This artificial intelligence allows us to continuously monitor whether issued helm orders are clear, confirmed, and correctly executed. Apart from shipboard use, our product is utilized in Nautical simulators to train proper use and execution of helm orders. Helm Order Monitor is like a Lane Departure Warning, to use an analogy with road transportation.
