Navigation Aid
"The heavy traffic flow at sea and harbor is like thinking about a puzzle, with the help of technology to solve it"
Navigation aids, also known as Aid to Navigation (AtoN), are equipment designed as aids to support aviation or navigation, meteorology, radio and visual communications, as well as other installations that provide safety instructions to ships or aircraft by using various types of signals. , a designation, or guidance device, a visual or electronic device easily visible and identifiable on the ground/water surface that assists crew members in docking or directing aircraft during landing or take-off. Types of navigational aids include buoys, fog signals, and daytime beacons.
Mechasolusindo International, PT., (MSI) offers navigational assistance such as buoys, fog signals, and daytime beacons. We are sure that the Marine System solution, which consists of several sub-system packages, can meet customer needs for solutions that they will develop in the field of marine navigation.
A buoy is a navigational device that floats on the water in rivers, lakes, waterways and open seas, which aids navigation for sailors. Buoys can be equipped with lights/beacons at the top, and are available in various shapes. Buoys should be easy to see, and placed in the right area.

Day Beacons are marking devices installed on land or water without lights and are used during the day by using colored markers and are usually used as channel markers in waterways or hazards.
The implementation of navigation tools, especially marine navigation, needs to be studied thoroughly when building harbors to berth, especially for ships carrying dangerous materials, navigation tools are very important. This study also concerns the use of electronic equipment and other navigation support equipment to comply with applicable regulations and in accordance with customer needs.
