►	Suction pipe position indicator
►	Draft and load monitoring
►	Production monitoring
►	Process monitoring for:
	►	Status of dredge valves, jet valves and flushing valves
	►	Status of the dredge- and jet pumps
	►	Status of the bottom doors/valves
	►	Status of the hydraulic system
►	Alarm monitoring and data logging

Typically the implementation of the DMS does not influence the existing control system. It is designed to act as independent system, collecting all necessary data for its calculation and representation tasks. Depending on the size and complexity of the dredge, an appropriate design for a highly integrated Dredge Monitoring System is developed. Fibre optic and industrial interfaces using modern networks techniques are used to connect decentralised process interfaces with centralised controlling units and human interfaces.
Needless to say that, if required, applicable control functionality can be integrated into our system to fulfil tasks such as automatic light mixture overboard or dredge pump speed control.

If you are looking for a modern monitoring system for your dredge, displaying the complete dredging application in a clear manner on several displays, the DMS should be your first and best choice. Let VOSTA LMG take care of the total scope of work, including design, construction, installation, commissioning and training.
