Reducing Complexity in Marine Winches with Powertrain Solutions
The ChallengeAn international engineering technology company that strives to develop unique, innovative, sustainable products for their customers needed assistance with designing a marine winch, which is a critical component in the marine industry. This component is used for the control, lifting, and retrieval of remote operated vehicles (ROVs) on sea/ocean fairing vessels.The winch needed to lift a type of ROV called a hull cleaner, which is designed to remove fouling on the ship hull.
