KG offers a special app for the iPad® and iPhone® to display ship data and control ship functions. This app turns the iPad®/iPhone® into a full-fledged control and display device which can be seamlessly integrated into the existing visualization environment on board, complementing it optimally. This makes ship data available anytime and anywhere on board. The user can even view ship data and send control commands via Internet, e.g. switch navigation lights or pumps, to the onboard system from any location with an internet connection.
