Australia: Tasmanian company Pivot Maritime International was awarded a national export award at the 47th Australian Export Awards in Canberra recently.
Pivot Maritime creates maritime simulations based on a high level of realism and accuracy. The company claims to be the only one in the world that both produces and uses maritime simulators.
Over the past ten years Pivot Maritime has carved a niche in maritime simulation, training and consultancy with its flexible and cost-effective simulation systems. The company produces a wide range of simulators, from small boat to integrated bridge simulators. These are configured to meet the various training, consultancy, and research and development needs of the commercial shipping, defence and small/recreational boat sectors.
As well as being winner of the Small to Medium Services category of the 47th Australian Export Awards and the 2009 Tasmanian Export Awards, Pivot Maritime was named Business of the Year and winner of the Innovation in Business category at the Launceston Chamber of Commerce/CGU Business Excellence Awards 2009. Pivot Maritime was also winner of the Small to Medium Services category at the 2008 Tasmanian Export Awards.
Up and coming Pivot product lines include:
• An electronic moving platform that will integrate visual images with physical movement and further enhance the realism of the simulation
• Virtual reality helmets and eye glasses for 360° natural vision, movement and sound
• The Stimulator, a system that incorporates real maritime equipment which, when fed with artificially generated data, get stimulated to respond accordingly.
