MariWeb™ Event Manager [MEM]

Event Manager

The MariWeb™ Event manager [MEM] is a very flexible Event Manager that can used to trigger events from any combination of AIS and other data that is stored within the MariWeb™ Central Data Server [CDS] including the following:

  • Closest Point of Approach [CPA] between any two monitored objects (a monitored object can be all AIS targets within an area or a network)
  • Time to CPA [tCPA] between any two monitored objects
  • Time stamp obtained from a NTP server ensuring total system time lock
  • Entry to an area
  • Exit from an area (could be a floating AtoN exiting a guard ring)
  • Crossing a waypoint in a specified direction
  • Lack of ITU-R.M1371-3 report / update (could be an AtoN not reporting within a defined period)

Optional MEM events that can be included in a system are:

  • Tug event 
  • Pilot event 
  • Berthing event 
  • Anchorage event 

Once a MariWeb™ event has been triggered, the alert is generated and sent according to the rules for that event. The outputs for any one particular event could be one or more of the following:

  • Send an On Screen Alert [OSA] 
  • Send an Addressed Binary Message [ABM] or Broadcast Binary Message [BBM] to a selected vessel
  • Send an email to any number of email addresses
  • Send a GSM SMS to any number of GSM phones
  • Send an XML message to any number of systems connected to the MariWeb™ system

The MEM alerts can also be triggered by external alerts from the ASM or any other external service.
