Murano
Read full descriptionHide full description
Murano è un sistema multifunzione per la guida di imbarcazioni e veicoli composto da due unità: un display situato al centro del volante e un gruppo di pulsanti "POWER WINGS" posti dietro di esso. Entrambe sono integrate con il volante "GUSSI ITALIA", comunicano tra loro e con l'app dedicata tramite BLUETOOTH. Una delle principali particolarità del sistema riguarda l’immagine e le funzioni rappresentate dal display che mantengono la posizione orizzontale anche durante la guida. Nonostante la rotazione del volante, infatti, il sistema tramite un giroscopio elettronico è in grado di ruotare l’immagine in modo da mantenerla in linea con l’orizzonte. Tale funzione oltre che un valore estetico (il logo del cliente nonostante il volante in posizione inclinata rimane orizzontale), ha anche una funzione di sicurezza e maggior versatilità: il conducente riesce a percepire immediatamente la posizione delle varie funzioni impostate sul display. Il sistema è completamente waterproof, permettendone l’installazione in ambiente aperto. Murano è interconnesso ai sistemi di bordo tramite rete CANBUS. È prevista la programmazione con protocolli NMEA2000 o protocolli custom dei clienti. Essendo completamente customizzabile, le 14 funzioni programmabili sulle POWER WINGS, possono essere suddivise tra comandi audio piuttosto che cruise control o funzioni meccaniche di altro genere. Tramite l’app Murano è possibile configurare la disposizione dei comandi nelle 14 posizioni, cambiare l’immagine e il logo del cliente piuttosto che il colore della retroilluminazione delle POWER WINGS.
