Radar

AIS allows for ship information (e.g., ID, position,
heading direction) to be exchanged among
ocean-going ships and vessels. These systems
help prevent collisions and ensure safe
navigation. They also make it possible to detect
ships, which do not appear on radar because
they are hidden in the shadow of islands.

Recreational

Autopilot

Linked to the steering system andheading sensors, the autopilot
automatically controls the ship tomaintain the course, making steeringmuch easier for the captain.

GPS, Chart Plotter

Navigating in the open seas requires accurate
assessment of one's current position.
GPS chart plotters pinpoint a vessel's position
based on radio waves sent from GPS
satellites. The position is displayed on asimpliﬁed navigational chart.

Recreational

Fish Finder / Sonar

These systems detect ﬁsh schools using ultrasoundwaves, which travel in straight lines as they
penetrate the water and bounce back to theoriginal source after hitting ﬁsh, the seabed orother objects. The depth and distance to schools ofﬁsh can be calculated based on the time it takes forthe ultrasound waves to return.

conﬁdence, FURUNO has acquired certiﬁcation underthe ISO 9001 international standard for quality
management systems. To ensure that our products
function properly in the harshest environments, we also
set our own quality standards and employ reliability
assessment techniques at each stage of development.
Based on such standards we are able to achieve optimal
quality for the countries and regions, the environment
and applications in which each product is used.
Marine electronic equipment is used in an extremely
hostile environment, therefore, we test the equipment
under a wide range of environmental conditions
including temperature, moisture, and vibration. We also
perform repeated EMC testing* so customers can use
our products with peace of mind.

In order to ensure the proper implementation of security export controls aimed at maintaining international peace andsecurity, FURUNOʼ s President is the chief executive responsible for setting up the control system. Regarding cargo andtechnologies for export, we determine if anything is on a list subject to control and strictly implement screening of theprospective consumer and uses involved in each trade.

Information Security Measures

To prevent damage from cyberattacks, which havebeen on the rise in recent years, FURUNO has built
various measures into our systems that will prevent
such incidents before they occur. Nonetheless, it is
difﬁcult for system-wide measures to prevent
attacks completely, so we issue security reports
and conduct exercises simulating a cyberattack asways to raise awareness and levels of caution
among all individuals involved.

Environmental Consciousness
With global environmental issues becoming more serious, FURUNO considers the environment to be one of our vitalmanagement issues. The core mainstays of our environmental policy are protection of the global environment, the creationof a recycling-oriented society, and conservation of biodiversity. We are working to manufacture products that have low
environmental impact and to reduce impact in our business activities in the effort to achieve sustainability in society.

Spare parts distribution network

To get the maximum beneﬁt from these systems and tocontribute to safe navigation requires not only highproduct quality but also local guidance on proper
installation, settings, and operation to optimize theequipment use. We therefore train service technicianswith a comprehensive educational curriculum based on
guidelines that cover all of the basic technology. Our
subsidiaries outside of Japan also provide guidance toshipyards on equipment and installation procedures, andactively host seminars for customers to explain how toproperly operate the equipment.
