Raymarine – leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first-responder and law-enforcement markets – announced a strategic collaboration with Maretron, a leading innovator in marine technology that will bring Maretron’s MConnect® technology to Raymarine’s state-of-the-art Axiom chartplotter displays. This partnership marks a significant advancement in vessel monitoring, delivering an enhanced user experience for boat owners and OEMs around the world.
Maretron’s MConnect is a revolutionary client-server technology that offers unparalleled access to real-time data across hundreds of data points on a vessel. Integrating MConnect with Raymarine’s award-winning Axiom family of multifunction chartplotters enables users to monitor and control critical vessel components directly from Raymarine’s intuitive LightHouse interface. This seamless integration offers users a powerful and highly customisable view of essential vessel data, enhancing safety, efficiency and onboard enjoyment.
Through this partnership, MConnect’s advanced data visualisation and customisation tools are now fully compatible with Raymarine’s MFDs, allowing users to configure personalised interfaces and control vessel systems with ease. By combining MConnect’s graphics editor with Raymarine’s high-definition displays, users can create visually stunning dashboards that consolidate vital information into a single, easily accessible view. This integrated experience makes it easier than ever for OEMs to embed brand-specific aesthetics and designs, reinforcing a cohesive, branded user experience across all vessel systems.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Raymarine, a global leader in marine displays,” said Jim Catterall, Business Development Manager at Maretron. “By integrating MConnect with Raymarine’s Axiom line, we are creating an experience that is powerful, intuitive and fully customisable. This collaboration exemplifies our shared commitment to enhancing the boating experience by delivering innovation and connectivity for our users.”
“Bringing the Maretron MConnect into our digital ecosystem gives boat builders and dealers the flexibility to create a seamless user experience for our mutual customers,” said Michelle Hildyard Vice President of Operations at Raymarine. “Our collaboration with Mareton aligns with our goal to give our customers maximum flexibility and choice when building a Raymarine navigation system.”
