OceanDisplay 12

Multifunction Display

Open Hardware • Marine Navigation • High Performance

A 12-inch multifunction marine display designed for modern navigation, combining open-source flexibility with professional-grade performance. Built for sailors, researchers, and developers who need full control over their onboard systems.

The OceanDisplay 12 features a high-brightness 1000-nit touchscreen, ensuring excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. Its responsive capacitive interface allows smooth interaction with charts, instruments, and data layers.

The system includes user-upgradable NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 interfaces, and supports all major commercial marine data standards, enabling seamless integration with existing onboard electronics. It also features an internal GPS for accurate positioning and supports open-source AIS for real-time vessel tracking.

Running OpenCPN, the display supports a wide range of nautical charts, including open and commercial formats, providing flexibility for different navigation needs.

Designed for durability and efficiency, OceanDisplay 12 is more than a chartplotter—it’s an open, extensible navigation platform ready for the next generation of marine systems.

OceanControl 5

Configurable Marine Display

Open Hardware • Smart Control • Modular Interface

A fully configurable 5-inch marine display designed to centralize control and data visualization onboard. Built for flexibility, it adapts to any vessel—from basic instrumentation to advanced system control.

The OceanControl 5 features a high-brightness 800-nit touchscreen, ensuring clear visibility in direct sunlight, combined with programmable buttons for reliable operation in all conditions. The interface is fully customizable, allowing users to display real-time marine data such as depth, speed, wind, and navigation metrics.

More than a display, it acts as a control hub. The system can manage autopilot functions, anchor control, and other onboard systems through a unified and intuitive interface.

Designed as an open platform, users can update the software, install new features, or even develop their own graphical interfaces and functions, adapting the device to specific needs or workflows.

With a compact and robust enclosure rated IP67, OceanControl 5 is built to withstand harsh marine environments. It’s not just an instrument—it’s a programmable control surface for the next generation of open marine systems.

OceanPilot Core

Autopilot System

Open Hardware • Autonomous Navigation • Full Integration

A fully configurable marine autopilot system designed for precision control and complete flexibility. Built on open hardware and software principles, it gives users full authority over navigation, integration, and performance.

The OceanPilot Core is engineered to deliver reliable and accurate steering in all marine conditions. Its architecture supports seamless integration with commercial marine systems, allowing it to operate alongside existing onboard electronics without compatibility issues. It also integrates natively with the LAMDRAY ecosystem, enabling advanced coordination with displays, sensors, and control interfaces.

Designed for adaptability, the system can be customized both in hardware and software. Users can modify control algorithms, tune performance parameters, or extend functionality to suit specific vessel types—from sailing yachts to autonomous platforms.

The robust enclosure is built for harsh environments, ensuring durability and long-term operation at sea. Advanced connectivity options allow real-time data exchange with navigation systems, wind sensors, and control units, enabling intelligent course correction and optimized routing.

Beyond traditional autopilots, OceanPilot Core is an open platform for innovation. Developers and engineers can create custom features, integrate new control strategies, or connect it to broader autonomous systems.

It’s not just an autopilot—it’s a programmable navigation system designed for the future of open marine technology.
