In the world of sailing and powerboating, as in many other fields, advanced technologies play a key role in enhancing safety, comfort, and efficiency. Parker Poland, as a leading distributor of maritime solutions, offers Q Experience systems that elevate navigation to an entirely new level.
How do Q Experience systems revolutionize sailing? What key features and capabilities set them apart from the competition?
Intuitive Sailing with Q Experience Systems
Have you ever dreamed of managing your boat as intuitively as using a modern smartphone? With Q Experience systems, that dream becomes a reality! Modern control panels, available in sizes ranging from 10” to 22” (including the Dual 2×10” option), allow for easy operation of advanced navigation and multimedia functions. The ability to connect an additional screen, displaying different information simultaneously, enhances comfort and safety on board. Imagine swiping your finger to browse navigation maps, monitor engine parameters, and listen to your favorite music—all within reach.
Key Features of Q Experience Systems
Q Experience systems are much more than just navigation tools. They are comprehensive solutions that transform any boat into a modern command center. What sets them apart?
QGuard: Advanced Protection for Your Boat
QGuard is an advanced security system that provides continuous monitoring of your boat, even when you are away from it. Thanks to a built-in SIM card slot, QGuard can maintain a constant internet connection, allowing real-time data transmission to the Q Experience app available on smartphones. Every 15 minutes, the system activates the processor to collect data from GPS and sensor terminals, then transmits this information to the app.
Geofencing is one of QGuard’s key features, allowing you to set a virtual boundary around your boat. If the boat moves more than 75 meters from its designated mooring spot, the system will immediately send an alert to your phone. This is an excellent tool for preventing theft and unauthorized use of the boat.
QGuard also monitors other essential parameters, such as:
- Bilge water level: Detecting a high water level can prevent flooding and severe damage to the boat.
- Battery status: QGuard notifies you of low battery levels, helping to avoid engine startup issues.
- Engine theft protection: The system detects attempts to steal or disconnect the engine and immediately sends an alert.
Additionally, QGuard offers the ability to remotely activate onboard devices, such as the refrigerator. Two free inputs in the harness can be configured via the mobile app, allowing you to turn on devices before arriving at the boat, increasing comfort and preparing everything for a pleasant cruise.
Moreover, QGuard is equipped with an additional battery that allows continued monitoring and alert sending for approximately four hours after the main power supply is disconnected. This ensures that your boat remains under constant protection even in an emergency.
Google Maps and YouTube at Your Fingertips
Knowing your current position is one thing, but having access to apps like Google Maps and YouTube while sailing takes comfort to a whole new level. Q Experience systems operate like modern smartphones, allowing easy access to selected apps. Whether you want to check your route or relax with your favorite videos or music, everything is within reach.
Advanced Weather Forecasts – Plan Ahead
In sailing, knowledge of current and upcoming weather conditions is crucial. Q Experience systems offer access to advanced weather forecasts, such as the Windy radar, which provides detailed data on atmospheric conditions. This allows you to plan your cruises with greater precision and avoid unexpected weather changes. Additional subscriptions also allow access to online radio stations and the Cloud AIS feature, which lets you monitor nearby vessel traffic via the internet, enhancing safety on the water.
A Full Entertainment Center on Board
How would you like your boat to become an entertainment center? With a built-in 2x20W audio amplifier and the option to connect additional amplifiers, Q Experience systems offer not only navigation but also excellent sound experiences. Direct connection to speakers allows you to listen to music in high quality, and the DAB/FM radio provides the latest information. Whether you’re relaxing on deck or hosting a party, the Q Experience system delivers superb sound quality.
Customization at Its Best
Every sailor has unique needs, which is why Q Experience systems allow full interface customization. You can adjust screen views to your preferences, choosing a split-screen view—vertically or horizontally. This allows you to monitor several key parameters simultaneously, significantly enhancing user comfort. The ability to brand the interface and silicone cover with a company logo is an additional advantage that boat manufacturers and dealers will surely appreciate.
DSW – Boat Resource Management
Cockpit design trends are moving towards reducing physical buttons and sliders on the control console. Not all buttons can be digitalized, as some are for safety functions, such as the horn. However, electronics development allows for modern forms of turning devices or lights on and off. Q Experience offers DSW (Digital Switch) as a solution. This is an additional NMEA2000-connected module with 20 inputs, enabling the operation of pumps, refrigerators, or lights installed on the boat. From a single location on the plotter, you can manage the boat using the modern forms provided by Q Experience.
Updates and Compatibility with Modern Technologies
To keep up with the fast-changing technology world, Q Experience systems support automatic software updates via the internet. This ensures that users always have access to the latest features and security measures. Compatibility with NMEA2000 technology allows integration with a wide range of dedicated devices, such as sonars, radars, and AIS systems, making Q Experience a versatile solution for any boat.
