Early November brings the start of wintery weather here at New Eagle’s headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We’re excited to announce that with the changing season comes the release of Raptor_2018a_2.2.12283, our latest Raptor™ software update! In addition to this new software release, we have also introduced a new Raptor™ controller to our hardware line. Finally, we’re excited to share the inside scoop on the application of Raptor™ Telematics in an at-sea marine vessel.

Raptor™ Telematics for Marine Application
One of our consultants, Kossel Controls, recently accepted a client with a marine application requiring rugged, qualified controllers and displays for an electric foiling vessel. Since the vessel operates in an ever-changing environment at sea, control software needed to be updated frequently and quickly. Kossel Controls turned to New Eagle to develop these controls for the vessel using the Raptor™ Control Platform.
Meeting the control system requirements was easy, but the vessel presented an additional challenge: the consultant needed a way to develop and calibrate software on the vessel from shore to avoid time-consuming, frequent and costly trips to sea.
Find out how Raptor™ Telematics solved this control challenge by reading the case study.
