Marine HMI:
Yacht control panel
Production-ready, customisable, maritime HMI accelerator that brings propulsion, navigation, power and alarm systems together on one rugged, gesture-friendly touchscreen.
Technology stack
Built for shipbuilders, system integrators and luxury yacht OEMs, our yacht control panel provides a single, intuitive interface for real-time monitoring and control in the most demanding marine environments.
Delivered as a one-time purchase with deployable assets, protocol stacks, and branding-ready UI components, it offers a fast route from prototype to bridge installation.
Key features
Unified situational awareness
Monitor propulsion, navigation, tanks, power and alarms on a single, high-contrast dashboard. Get the information that matters, exactly when it matters.
Designed for motion
Large touch targets and gesture-friendly controls ensure safe operation in rough seas and with gloved hands, reducing cognitive load for captains and crew.
Fast integration
Pre-configured Qt/QML templates and protocol stacks for NMEA-2000, SeaTalk and NavNet shorten integration time dramatically. Typical projects reach onboard validation in about one month.
Proven quality processes
Manual and automated Squish tests are embedded in the CI/CD pipeline. Each build is verified in Dockerised test environments to guarantee stable, regression-free releases.
OEM-ready customisation
Every layout, colour scheme and widget can be rebranded quickly using Figma and Qt/QML components — keeping visual consistency across product lines.
Single-payment delivery
Delivered as a one-time licensed package with full source templates, Figma design files and test suites — not a subscription service.
Safety and compliance
Secure process logging, redundancy, and compatibility with industrial and maritime automation systems ensure long-term reliability.
How does it work?
Deploy
Receive the complete accelerator package: source templates, Figma files, Squish suites, and protocol adapters. Install on your SBC or integrator hardware.
Connect systems
Link NMEA-2000, CAN, or ModBUS networks and validate data flow using provided connectors.
Customise UI
Apply OEM branding and modify layouts in Qt/QML and Figma typically within five working days.
Test and validate
Execute Squish automated tests and manual checks. Integrate into your existing CI/CD pipelines.
Commission
Conduct field trials, final calibration and handover. Ownership is transferred at delivery. No ongoing licensing.
What’s inside?
Real-time performance dashboards
Conduct field trials, final calibration and handover. Ownership is transferred at delivery – no ongoing licensing.
Navigation and routing module
Integrates live GNSS, chart overlays and route planning with native NMEA-2000 data ingestion. Gesture-based map controls enable quick panning and zooming without precision taps.
Alarm and event management
Visual and audible escalation with prioritised alerts and historical logs. Interaction flows are optimised for gloved use and motion, ensuring fast, confident responses during incidents.
Role-based layouts
Separate, configurable dashboards for captain, crew and engineers. Figma templates and modular QML components make branding and role changes straightforward.
Hardware and connectivity support
Includes ready-made connectors for NMEA-2000, SeaTalk, NavNet, ModBUS and CAN. Compatible with redundant Ethernet, RS232/RS485, and removable storage for compliance logging.
Developer and QA toolkit
Full Qt/QML source, editable Figma files, and Dockerised Squish test suites. Integrate directly with GitLab CI for automated regression testing and continuous delivery.

Ideal use cases
The Maritime HMI Accelerator serves as the digital bridge for any onboard system requiring reliable human–machine interaction.
Ballast Water Management Systems
Monitor, treat and document ballast operations in full compliance with the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention. The HMI logs treatment data securely and supports automated reporting.
Bilge and fluid management
Track and control bilge, fuel and wastewater pumps in real time. Integrated alarm management ensures no discharge occurs without proper treatment.
Anti-heeling control
Balance cargo load and maintain stability automatically. Gesture-friendly controls allow precise ballast adjustments even during motion.
Thruster and propulsion systems
Operate bow and stern thrusters from an intuitive, moisture-resistant Glass-Film-Glass panel interface. Designed for outdoor exposure and fast reaction in docking manoeuvres.
Environmental and hardware compliance
Operating temperature: −20 °C to +60 °C
Ruggedised GFG touch panels, glove-friendly
Redundant Ethernet and serial connectivity (CAN/RS232/RS485)
Removable SD/USB storage for long-term data logging
Secure process logging and redundancy for maritime automation standards
Transitioning from legacy Windows CE to Embedded Linux or Windows Embedded Standard 7 offers smoother graphics, higher performance and improved system clarity.
Safety and quality
Spyrosoft’s maritime HMIs are developed under functional-safety-inspired processes aligned with:
ISO 26262 (for software safety principles)
Automotive SPICE and IEC 61508
QA automation with Squish GUI Tester and GitLab CI/CD
Every accelerator build undergoes extensive simulated sea trials, meeting ≥ 99.7 % uptime in testing.
Meet our experts
Passionate about daily human and machine communication, I take care of the development of the HMI area and empower Spyrosoft teams to stay at the forefront of this dynamic field. With a strong background in both technical and managerial positions, I know how to translate business needs into an appealing and functional product that elevates the experience of an end customer.
Meet our experts
I’m a firm believer in the cultural ramifications of user-focused design in technology.
Throughout my career, I have led teams in developing modern products on a multitude of software and hardware platforms. The knowledge of HMI architectures and C++/C#/Java and Python languages, has allowed me to work with OEMs and TIER1s on the next-gen production HMI platforms.
With my motivation of building tomorrow’s digital society, I’m is mainly responsible for shaping the technology definition and vision of HMI Services at Spyrosoft.
Meet our experts
I use the experience I have gained in twenty years of work to design interfaces for HMI. I highly value simple solutions to complex problems.
In my work, the most important thing is to diagnose and understand the problem, listen to the stakeholders and propose a solution that meets the established criteria.
I especially appreciate the substantive support of programmers, thanks to which our projects move easily to the implementation stage, which allows us to quickly test our hypotheses.

Clients say about us
A microHMI is a modular architecture where UI features are delivered as independent, lightweight components. It speeds parallel development and simplifies branding.
Squish simulates real user interactions across your Qt widgets and QML. It validates behaviour end to end and integrates with CI to gate merges on test results.
Yes. We support efficient on-device models for low latency and privacy, with a cloud fallback where connectivity and feature scope allow.
We align requirements, verification and safety cases with your process, using traceable artefacts and automated testing to maintain compliance.
