Bergan's software solutions collect data from our various sensors for display to vessel operators as well as your shore staff in the office.
Our GUARD LEVEL® CMS+ (Cargo Monitoring Software+) is an embedded alarm and monitoring software providing a highly functional and user-friendly graphical software experience. CMS+ guarantees safe loading, monitoring and control of cargo, ballast and fuel tanks. The software comes preloaded onto a Bergan Master Control Unit (MCU) and Work Station Units (WSU) or can run separately on an onboard PC. This versatile Windows tile-based system makes it easy to configure and set up custom screens to manage your cargo.
While basic overview screens are fabricated with tiles representing cargo (HL and HHL (Overfill)), ballast, and service tanks – mix and match and designate tiles for specific loading needs. Cargo can also be color-coded according to customer preference. All monitored parameters are data logged. Choose what element to log and at what frequency. Typical monitored sensors are level (with volume), tank temperatures (up to three points per tank), tank pressure sensor, manifold sensor, pump pressure, ballast, and bunker tank levels (volume) as well as vessel trim/ list and draft.
With our MODBUS interface, computer software such as CargoMax® can be loaded allowing for bi-directional online interface. Additional interfaces to vessel management systems are also included. The CMS+ can be run in master or slave mode accommodating one to multiple secondary displays.
Bergan's GUARD LEVEL® FMS (Fuel Management System) is an inventory management system for vessels that produces an audit trail to easily optimize fuel usage and reduce fuel pilferage. This intuitive tank gauging system has extended hardware and software capabilities.
The FMS main cabinet and associated CARGORADAR® or GUARD LEVEL® DFG (Digital Float Gauge) combined GPS interface provides for highly accurate daily fuel usage reports. By modelling the bunker tanks and having these strapped to +/- 0.15% accuracies, highly accurate tank volumes are calculated. The FMS software generates detailed daily reports and trip data information. With our optional data communication, data and reports can be accessed directly from our cloud servers.
