Barantech stand at IBEX 2024

MIN caught up with Barry Chapman, marine sales director at Barantech, at IBEX 2024 to discuss the company’s latest innovations in Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions for the marine industry.

The discussion, which can be viewed above, focused on how Barantech’s advanced HMI systems are designed to enhance operational efficiency and reliability for marine applications, with Chapman sharing insights on the company’s collaboration with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and its presence at major industry events.

During the interview, Chapman — who joined the firm earlier this year — underscores Barantech’s commitment to developing HMI solutions that meet the specific needs of the marine industry, particularly in terms of operational efficiency and ease of use.

“We’ve been working closely with OEMs to ensure that our systems not only meet but exceed expectations for performance and reliability,” Chapman says. He notes that Barantech’s focus is on offering sleek, intuitive designs that integrate seamlessly with existing marine systems.

One of the key features Chapman highlights is the reliability of Barantech’s HMI solutions in demanding marine environments. He explains that the company’s systems are built with durability in mind, designed to withstand harsh conditions at sea while providing users with a smooth and reliable interface. “Marine environments are tough, and we’ve made sure our technology can handle it,” Chapman explains, pointing out that Barantech’s systems are tested extensively to ensure they perform well under stress.

Another important aspect of Barantech’s HMI technology is its focus on improving efficiency. Chapman explains that the company’s systems are developed with a view to streamlining operations on vessels, allowing for faster and more accurate control of various onboard functions. “Our technology is really about making life easier for the crew and improving the overall efficiency of operations,” Chapman notes. He adds that Barantech’s HMI systems are designed to be user-friendly, allowing operators to access critical functions with minimal effort.

Chapman also touches on Barantech’s strategy of showcasing its products at leading marine industry events like IBEX and METSTRADE. These events, he explains, are crucial for demonstrating the company’s latest innovations to a wider audience. “Being at events like IBEX and METSTRADE allows us to show the industry what we’ve been working on and get direct feedback from OEMs and other key players,” he says.

As the marine industry continues to move toward more advanced technology, Barantech says it remains focused on staying at the forefront of HMI development for marine applications, working closely with OEMs to deliver products that meet the evolving needs of the market.
