Smart Marine Power
Developed by: Sistemas Marinos (SM). Purpose: Digital Integration, Control, and Monitoring for High-Performance Vessels.
Overview
The SMP system is a proprietary energy management and digital control architecture that revolutionizes boat building by eliminating the limitations of traditional physical wiring. Originally designed for the SM54 M catamaran, it is now an independent ecosystem that integrates propulsion, power, and navigation into a single, wireless, and sustainable interface.
Technological Differentiation: The End of Traditional CAN bus
Unlike conventional systems relying on kilometers of data cables, SMP uses an ultra-low latency hybrid network:
• Wireless Architecture: Combines Zigbee and Shelly protocols to control relays and actuators, eliminating copper weight and simplifying structural installation.
• Total Connectivity: Acts as an intelligent Gateway unifying data from:
o Propulsion: Yanmar Engines.
o Power: Victron Energy Systems (Inverters, Chargers, Lithium Banks).
o Navigation: NMEA2000 networks and electronics.
o Internet: Native LAN connection with Starlink for real-time global monitoring.
Competitive Advantages
• Global Serviceability: Uses certified, off-the-shelf hardware components available in electronics stores worldwide, eliminating dependency on expensive proprietary spare parts.
• Critical Weight Reduction: Eliminating dense wiring helps maintain light displacement, improving speed and efficiency.
• Custom Programming: Allows for personalized scenarios (Race Mode, Anchor Mode, Smart Charge Management) controllable via smartphone, tablet, or PC.
Support and Diagnostics
• Remote Monitoring: Through Starlink integration, technical teams (such as Loop & Knuttel in the USA) can diagnose faults remotely.
• Dynamic Digital Documentation: Generates system logs that directly populate the vessel’s Technical and Service Manuals.
SMP (Smart Marine Power) is the digital backbone for the next generation of ocean-going vessels. Quality, control, and freedom of service anywhere in the world
