ADECS³
Automated Dock Evolution Control System, Rev 3
The Automated Dock Evolution Control System, Revision 3 (ADECS³) is a combination of several base modules, which can be used together or as individual components to control a floating dry dock. Control capabilities range from enhanced monitoring to advanced manual control to fully automatic operation.
The full ADECS³ product is used to completely automate the evolution (ballasting and deballasting) of a floating dock. The complete system is designed for any dock that has more than six ballast tanks.
Without considering the full system, all floating docks can benefit from specific modules and depending on the desires of the dock operation team, the docks may want to use the fully automated system, or may just want to improve their ability to operate the dock manually.
The ADECS³ consists of the following three base modules which can be used together or as individual components:
- RDM: Remote Direct Manual
- AAM: Attitude and Alarm Monitoring
- MDM: Multi-Axis Deflection Monitor
The following two modules require all of the base modules in order to operate correctly:
- AEC: Automatic Evolution Control
- HDL: Historical Trending and Data Logging
Finally the following two modules are stand-alone, but are usually put in place on a dock with the others:
- RAX: Remote Auxiliary Control and Status
- APS: Advanced Positioning System
