Currently anti-glare blinds on ship bridges are controlled manually. This causes extra work which could easily be avoided.

In this project we developed a motorized anti-glare system for ship bridges. The goal of this project is a more user-friendly and wear-resistant system than the manual systems currently used on ship bridges. The development includes UI, software and hardware design. Collecting user experience data from end users is also important.

The prototype made during the project can be modified and improved to commercial product in the future. Collected user experience is also valuable for future development of motorized anti-glare blinds.

This project was started as a Capstone project at the University of Turku. The topic owner and supporter of this project is Kaihdinliike Sandberg. Project prototype was on test use at one commercial cruise ship and took part in the ICT showroom 2022 event.
