The Blue Guard Innovations (BGI) range of smart switches and sensors will be exhibited for the first time in Europe at METSTRADE, 13-15 November at Amsterdam RAI.
The innovative, patented range of solid state smart switches and sensors detect oil and fuel as well as water in the bilge and engine compartments, preventing them from accidentally discharging overboard.
The flagship product in the BGI range, the BG-One, (shown here) was the winner of the product innovation award in the Mechanical Systems category at IBEX last month and has been nominated for the DAME Design Award 2018 in the machinery, propulsion, mechanical and electrical systems and fittings category.
The BG-One functions as a bilge pump switch that helps prevent oil or fuel from being pumped into oceans, lakes and waterways.
The BGI range also includes the BG-HW high water sensor and the BG-SWA, a combined bilge pump switch and high water alarm.
