AHC ToolBox
Design, Installation, and Operational Tools
Scantrol AHC comes with design, installation, and operational tools that ensure that you can achieve AHC in a safe and efficient manner.
Design
Find the optimal design for your winch, avoid pitfalls and unnecessary expensive solutions.
Install
Avoid adding unnecessary project costs by removing prolonged sea trials and complicated calibration processes. Our expertise is transferred to our products and clients, meaning you can reduce the cost by installing it yourself.
We are also available if you require our assistance in person or without, using free OTA assistance.
Operate
Operate safely and efficiently with «to the point» operational information available for operators and supervisors.
AHC Analyzer
Design Tool
Build confidence in your AHC solution even before the project has started.
Design the optimum winch to meet required AHC performance, or determine the AHC performance of an existing winch using the Scantrol AHC Analyzer software.
Details of the existing winch or new winch design are entered into the analyzer. Vessel motion, operational depths, and loads are varied to ensure that the correct design has been chosen.
Example of analysis result. Operational criterias on the left, results on the right. The basis for the calculations are taken from your winch design.
Auto Calibration
Installation Tool
Sea trials should be used to demonstrate functionality, not to tune it.
Scantrol AHC has tools for automatic calibration of your winch or cylinder to compensate for potentially changing characteristics. Ensures efficient installation and calibration.
The functionality is built into the Scantrol AHC control systems. Does not require an expert in the field.
mTrack has automatically compensated for the non-linearity of this winch.
Dynatest
Installation Tool
Sea trials should be used to demonstrate functionality, not to tune it. Be certain of your equipment performance before setting sail.
Use our Dynatest to verify winch performance at the factory or alongside.

OTA Assistance
Installation and Operation Tool
Commissioning assistance, operational help, software upgrades – all available through your vessel or factory internet access.
Get full access to the expertise of the entire Scantrol Team using OTA assistance.
Free of charge to all mTrack customers.
AHC Performer
Operational Tool
Operate safely with knowledge of the operational limits of your equipment. Make correct and justified operational decisions.
The AHC performer provides continuous monitoring of vessel motion and winch/cylinder operation. The operator can see the percentage of capacity used for AHC.

AHC logger
Installation and Operation Tool
Document your operations. Share data for operational inputs and support. Open access, familiar format.
The mTrack AHC logger records system state and performance to easily accessible CSV format files. Available to end users without Scantrol involvement.
