Sea.AI to unveil automated safety systems at boot Düsseldorf

Sea.AI will introduce its latest machine vision safety system to the public at boot Düsseldorf, which kicks off on 18 January 2025.

The Sea.AI Brain, recently nominated for the DAME Award, integrates Sea.AI’s technology with existing thermal camera systems to enhance a vessel’s collision avoidance capabilities.

According to industry data, collisions account for over half of all boating accidents, resulting in injury or fatality. Sea.AI says its systems aim to reduce these risks by employing artificial intelligence and machine vision to identify potential hazards. These systems operate alongside traditional tools such as radar and AIS, addressing their limitations. The Sea.AI Brain processes real-time camera feeds, identifies potential threats, and alerts the operator within seconds.

“If you can’t see it, you can’t avoid it. So, we’re excited to show boaters how the Sea.AI Brain can easily transform their existing camera setups into highly intelligent, automated collision detection tools,” says Marcus Warrelmann, CEO of Sea.AI.

The machine vision algorithm used by the Sea.AI Brain is trained on a database of over 10m objects and performs real-time analysis at sea.

“Small watercraft without AIS, floating debris, large marine life, containers, and unlit buoys all pose significant navigational hazards which traditional collision avoidance systems can’t identify,” Warrelmann explains. “Sea.AI can identify and alert boaters to collision hazards at long distances and in any ambient light conditions or sea state. It can even track people in the water, adding another level of security in crew overboard situations. The Brain is one of the ways we are making advanced safety technology more accessible and affordable for everyone who spends time on the water.”

Visitors to boot Düsseldorf 2025 will also preview the Watchkeeper series, a modular safety system platform from Sea.AI.

“Watchkeeper will deliver the security of automated collision detection to more boaters, keeping all of us safer at sea,” says Warrelmann. “The system comes with a state-of-the-art 4k low-light camera with an extra-wide 135° field of view, providing a clear and comprehensive view of the surroundings. With GPS and inertial measurement units built-in, boaters can receive precise navigation assistance. All these features are powered by the latest Sea.AI software. Watchkeeper is small, lightweight, and a perfect entry-level system for the day-into-evening boater who wants an extra set of eyes on the water.”

For users requiring night-vision capabilities, Watchkeeper systems with integrated long-wave infrared thermal cameras will also be available. The Watchkeeper range is expected to launch in summer 2025.
