Airmar has consistently developed and improved their extensive line of recreational marine transducers throughout the decades, and as their success grew, so did their drive for innovation. In 2011, Airmar introduced Chirp technology to the recreational marine market, revolutionizing the industry and enabling many marine partners to grow via this performance-enhancing technology. Airmar acquisition of Marport in 2013 and MSI Transducers in 2016 created new engineering and technology collaborations, and bolstered their positions in the commercial fishing, defense and recreational marine markets. In addition, Airmar reinforced team of engineers and scientists, coupled with their leading-edge manufacturing capabilities, spurred the design and manufacture of a new generation of high-performance ultrasonic sensing products. Once the SmartBoat module is connected, the status of all connected sensors can be easily accessed. Airmar SmartFlex® View is a browser-based tool enabled in each module and accessible directly from any laptop, tablet, mobile device, or via Airmar CASTâ„¢ app. Features within SmartFlex View include SmartFlex® Alert, a comprehensive alert configuration system. Alerts can be custom defined based upon NMEA 2000 message-field values, timers, and counters, and can be combined as needed.
