Collaboration of Greek companies for the development of maritime safety technology
An important high-tech collaboration was recently announced in Greece, bringing innovation in the maritime industry to the forefront. The Greek deep-tech startup Pollux Tech has selected the company Prisma Electronics to manufacture the first prototypes of the ASOS system.
The ASOS system, which stands for "Autonomous System of Overboard Safety," is a pioneering solution for protecting human life at sea. This technology aims to immediately detect and respond to incidents where a person falls overboard from a ship.
Prisma Electronics, a company with extensive experience in manufacturing electronic systems, is undertaking the production of the first prototypes. The selection of this company by Pollux Tech highlights the confidence in the domestic industry's ability to produce complex, high-specification technological products.
The development of such systems is particularly important for shipping, an industry in which Greece holds a leading global position. The use of autonomous safety systems is expected to significantly strengthen protection protocols for crews and passengers on ships.
The completion of the first prototypes marks a critical step for the testing and further development of Pollux Tech's technology. The market is awaiting the results of these tests with interest, as innovation in the field of maritime safety remains a priority for the international shipping community.
