A Robust, Embedded Thermal Printer for Self-Service at Sea
Kongsberg Maritime is a global leader in maritime automation, renowned for its innovative and reliable solutions that serve nearly a thousand vessels annually. Building on this legacy, we are proud to introduce the OPU AC-C20 MS-CM-WSDM, an embedded thermal printer engineered specifically for the demanding self-service scenarios of the marine environment.
This 24VDC-powered unit is a direct, high-performance replacement for the Kongsberg OPU AC-C20. For any fleet manager seeking a reliable, easily maintainable, and cost-effective embedded printing solution, this module represents a significant step forward in operational excellence.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Unmatched Maritime Reliability
Engineered to thrive in harsh marine conditions, this embeddable printerfor ships features robust vibration, salt spray, and high humidity resistance. Its durable thermal printhead and heavy-duty transmission components ensure stable, long-term performance, significantly reducing malfunction rates and maximizing fleet availability.
2. Seamless Embedded Integration
With its compact, power-efficient design, the printer integrates effortlessly into shipboard self-service terminal and port systems. It is the ideal solution for printing crew and passenger tickets, boarding passes, and other essential documents directly where they are needed.
3. Superior Print Quality
High-resolution thermal printing delivers crisp, clear text and high-contrast barcodes and QR codes. This guarantees accuracy and efficiency in critical processes like cargo documentation, maintenance reports, and passenger boarding.
4. Simplified Marine Power
The standard 24VDC power architecture simplifies installation, enhances electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and seamlessly meets the standardized power requirements of any vessel.
5. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
A modular design with easily replaceable printheads and consumables minimizes downtime and maintenance complexity. This extends the operational life of the unit and improves the overall cost-effectiveness of your fleet operations.
6. Built-in Compliance and Traceability
An integrated logging module automatically records time, content, status, and consumable usage for every print job. These time-stamped, immutable logs are easily retrievable by vessel, route, or terminal, ensuring full operational transparency and regulatory compliance.
7. Enhanced Security and Control
All log and document data are protected with access controls and encrypted transmission/storage. The system supports operator identification and full audit trails, aligning with stringent maritime industry regulations.
Proven Application Scenarios
Self-Service Boarding & Documentation: Rapidly and reliably print route documents, crew certificates, and boarding passes with full log traceability.
Cargo & Port Operations: Ensure transparency with clear, traceable printouts of bills of lading, loading lists, and maintenance records.
Onboard Logs & Reporting: Print daily navigation logs and maintenance reports on-site, reducing transcription errors and saving time.
