Vessel Monitoring Solutions VMS (BlueTraker)

Blue Traker VMS System is type approved by Department of Fisheries under Ministry of Agriculture , Livestock and Irrigation and currently used in many fishing vessels in Myanmar coastal region since 2019.

Over the past 25 years, EMA Group has become one of the leading marking, coding and traceability specialist in Europe.

In 2004 a new division was created to develop our Telematics and Machine to Machine (M2M) communication systems. This led to a new range of solutions for intelligent transport systems and mobile communications.

The BlueTraker® VMS is a building block of Vessel Tracking and Monitoring solution (VMS). The tracking device is the latest generation of marine graded satellite terminals specifically developed to monitor fishing vessels globally.

BlueTraker VMS terminal intelligently sends navigation data via either the GSM/GPRS terrestrial network or the Iridium satellite network at predefined intervals.

The telematic data aggregation server (TDS) processes the received data and delivers it to SecondScreen software developed by EMA or any third party VMS Fisheries Monitoring Software application in the appropriate format used at the National FMC. Due to Iridium satellite constellation the system enables tracking fishing vessels wherever they might be including the Sea area A4.

BlueTraker® VMS terminal is known for its integrated design, incorporating all the electronics inside a single terminal housing:

. Central Processing Board
. GPS/GLONASS Receiver
. GPRS Modem
. Iridium Modem
. Backup Rechargeable Battery

The BlueTraker® marine graded terminals are onboard tracking devices with embedded Satellite, GSM/GPRS modems, GPS receiver and backup rechargeable battery. The BlueTraker® terminal’s latest generation are offered to the market, upgrading connectivity possibilities to support remote vessels monitoring for various purposes. Terminal’s ability to connect to external (Third Party) hardware is supported by integrated:

. RS485 serial port
. CAN bus
. RS422 serial port (optional)
. Two digital inputs
. One relay output (optional)

SecondScreen is a web-based software application that delivers valuable insights about fleet fishing activities directly to Fisheries Monitoring Centres (FMCs). SecondScreen’s advanced interface makes real-time tracking and monitoring of your fleets a breeze with a range of diagnostic and navigation controls with direct command options. SecondScreen offers the ability to monitor and manage all of your BlueTraker devices within one place and without interfering with your primary mapping software. Use SecondScreen as an extension of your mapping software and reap all the benefits that it offers in terms of management over BlueTraker IoT ecosystem.

. Advanced Vessel Tracking with Real-time Data view.
. Fast and simple messaging from FMC operators to vessel managers.
. Remote command options.
. Reduce time and cost of data analysis and management.
. Real-time Geofence management allows more precise management of fisheries.
. No software to install or maintain, simply log in with your BlueTraker ID to start managing your fleet.

The Octopus 10 is a cost effective off-the-shelf eLogbook / VMS solution for fisheries. It is a touch screen terminal with pre-installed applications for fisheries. Designed to be tough and rugged, Octopus 10 terminals are ideal for use in marine/industrial environments. Octopus 10 terminals provide communication with a BlueTraker® VMS device for sending documents, such as catch reports, compliance forms and exchange other data with the Fisheries Monitoring Centre (FMC).

The Octopus 10 functionalities:

. Out-of-the-Box approach makes BlueTraker VMS onboard system ready to be used without additional interfacing, modifications and testing;

. Pre-installed HMI application makes vessel data, such as position and speed of the vessel, fuel level, engine temperature, etc., available to the FMC. In addition to above, circular messages can be sent from FMC to any or all vessels;

. An optional eLogbook application, which handles reporting according to ERS requirements (Catch Report, Transhipment Report, Landing Report, etc.) is fully compliant with international fisheries regulations and requirements. eLogbook software applications may also come from national, local software providers in case they qualify their product as “BlueTraker Certified Software”;

. An Optional OceanMail application enables text messaging anywhere on the planet from the vessel to FMC or vice versa; Octopus 10 enables other third-party applications to be embedded into the product which is a subject of successful “BlueTraker Certified Software” approval process.
