CZone and Raymarine collaborate to offer integrated digital switching solutions

May 22, 2020

FLIR Systems Inc recently announced its Raymarine Axiom multifunction display line is compatible with CZone digital control and monitoring systems.

The collaboration enables boatbuilders and system integrators to deliver custom CZone digital switching solutions with rich graphical interfaces controlled through Raymarine’s line of Axiom MFDs. CZone digital switching simplifies the installation of boat electrical systems through the replacement of complicated and often cumbersome traditional switch and fuse panels with networked digital switch interfaces, providing ultimate control of on-board electrical systems. When integrated with the Axiom MFD, the CZone system offers control of many different types of on-board electrical devices, including lighting and climate control.

Raymarine will offer customers a customised graphical interface solution that allows boatbuilders and system integrators to create highly customised graphical CZone control pages that integrate seamlessly with Axiom’s LightHouse 3 dashboard app. Director of Marketing for the Maritime division at FLIR Jim Hands said, “We are pleased to offer CZone digital switching integration with our Raymarine Axiom platform. This compatibility opens a wide range of integration and customisation options for our boatbuilding partners. CZone and its integration with our Axiom MFDs is a win-win for the industry.”

BEP Marine business leader Jarrod Sager said, “Today’s boaters expect easy operation, with levels of technology and automation equal to or better than what they have in their homes. Our CZone technology brings this high-level automation from smart homes to smart boats. By integrating with Raymarine Axiom, we’re able to offer our complete solution to an even broader array of high-end boat and yacht builders around the world.”

CZone integration for Raymarine Axiom MFDs is available now. Boatbuilders and integrators can learn how to create custom CZone and Axiom solutions by visiting raymarine.com.au/czone
