Rugged DNV, IEC 60945 & Marine Computing
Impulse have the industry insight and technology know-how to help meet the unique challenges for computing, control and communications in marine and subsea applications.
Industry Insight. Technology Know-how.
Why Marine Standards Matter
Like most other industries, Marine & Subsea has a growing need for technologies and solutions that can support and often transform operational effectiveness while reducing risk and managing environmental concerns. Faced with uniquely demanding conditions, for equipment and infrastructure, the need for reliable and robust solutions is vital. Working with OEMs and service companies, Impulse combines expertise with technology partnerships to offer class-leading devices and solutions for the Marine & Subsea industry that comply with DNV & IEC 60945 standards.
Designed for shock and vibration resistance, reliable operation in extreme temperatures, and wide voltage with support for fluctuating power inputs.
Our computing options that include NMEA ports for standardised connectivity between marine electronics.
We offer IP rated, high brightness and sunlight readable displays for resilient and clear computing at sea.
MC-3201 Series
The M-S models of embedded PCs from MOXA’s MC-3201 series are solid and compact devices that are designed to meet the requirements of marine regulations, conforming to IEC 60945 and IACS E10 standards.
Marine-Approved Computing For Your Application: Where Our Solutions Work
ECDIS & Bridge
Impulse can supply and build Marine-certified panel PCs, box & embedded computers, data communication and data acquisition hardware, which can be used in engine monitoring applications. Over the years, we have supplied hundreds of products to condition monitoring OEMs in the marine industry, so if you need a new product design or installation, talk to one of our specialists today.
Marine Computing
Regardless of your application, Impulse have a wide range of Marine certified computers from low power Atom based systems through to powerful, high core count Intel Core i9 systems. Impulse don't just sell product, our design and build services allows you to specify exactly what you need. Your system will be built, tested and pre-configured in our purpose-built facility and supplied with industry leading warranties. Find out more about our design, build and support services below.
Oil in Water Analysis
The MARPOL convention requires that vessel operators adhere to standards set out by the IMO for environmental pollution control and as such advanced oil in water systems are available to vessel and platform owners. If you are an OEM who designs any type of oil-in-water analyser, bilge water alarm or monitoring and control system, you might be interested in our Turnkey Design services.
Engine Monitoring
High-Performance DNV and IEC 60945 Marine Computers
Our DNV and IEC 60945-compliant marine computing solutions deliver high performance and durability for the demanding conditions of maritime environments. These systems ensure uninterrupted operation for navigation, automation, and communication with the ability to withstand vibration, salt mist, humidity, and extreme temperatures. With standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), they provide long-lasting durability for vessels and offshore platforms.

Our work on marine projects usually follows a defined process. We start by understanding the environment and application in detail, then agree a suitable hardware platform, build and validate systems in the UK, and finally manage changes and lifecycle.
Projects typically start with a requirements capture phase. This covers environmental conditions such as temperature range, dust levels, vibration and cleaning regime; electrical considerations such as supply, earthing and panel layout; performance requirements; I/O and expansion needs; relevant standards or approvals; and expectations around lifecycle, volume and support.
Based on this information, suitable hardware platforms are shortlisted and reviewed. CPU class, memory, storage, I/O, expansion options and mounting arrangements are agreed, along with any specific BIOS or firmware requirements. For repeat deployments, a small number of standard builds are usually defined to simplify stocking, rollout and support.
Systems are then assembled and validated in the UK. This includes physical assembly, OS installation and configuration, loading of customer images where required, and burn-in and functional tests defined for the project. The goal is that systems arrive on site ready to be integrated with minimal additional work.
Once deployed, attention shifts to lifecycle support. Agreed configurations are documented and controlled as a bill of materials. Changes announced by manufacturers are monitored, and when they occur, suitable replacement options are identified and discussed. Where appropriate, last-time-buy planning and controlled transitions are used to minimise disruption to machines and production lines.

LCD paired with a single board computer for a Marine Peli Case application
C-Tecnics, specialists in the design and development of underwater imaging and video recording systems, required a paired LCD and single board computer solution to be integrated into a Peli Case as part of a revolutionary underwater camera monitoring system.
"C-Tecnics have been working closely with Impulse spanning back 7 years, in tailoring a computing solution consisting of an industrial motherboard, solid state drives and a custom display for several C-Tecnics ruggedised case systems. The support received from Impulse on new solutions and technical support is greatly appreciated and highly recommended." Scott Younger, Technical Manager, C-Tecnics
