Aanderaa instrumentation has offered high quality information to improve the safety of the offshore operations for more than 40 years.
Aanderaa is part of Xylem Analytics and a leading provider of robust and reliable instrument solutions for ocenaographic and other environmental measurements. Xylem Analytics is part of Xylem Inc., a global company focused on solving the world’s most challenging and fundamental water issues. As accurate analysis is crucial to the water industry, Xylem Analytics taps its diverse product brands for leadership in that field and beyond, providing the best laboratory and field monitoring instrumentation across a wide variety of industries.
Environmental Monitoring Systems
Aanderaa is a leading player in the collection and transmission of environmental information. Accurate measurements improve environmental impact assessment and the preparation of contingency plans, operational models and forecasts, wherever offshore activities are conducted. Our user defined Met-Ocean instrument platforms offer a smart and flexible observation system without the huge cost of a custom solution.
Aanderaa systems for offshore includes SEAGUARD®, RDCP, oil boom Doppler log, weather stations, wave and tide stations and buoy systems. Data from our equipment can be displayed over AIS, internet or to be integrated into other systems.
Lifting operations at sea is to be regarded as a critical and in some cases difficult and dangerous. An offshore crane is the “life line” between the offshore installation/vessel and the supply chain onshore.
Over the years, various authorities and certifying bodies have, together with the industry, made rules, regulations and best practices to make this operation as safe as possible with available technology. Being the first Electronic Safe Load Indicator or as some will refer to, a Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) or a Load Moment Limier (LML), Mipeg has a long history and excellent track record.
MIPEG Safe Load Indicators (SLI), have since the first generation been part in enhancing the safety standards established. The Mipeg system, in the basic version, will monitor the load, operating radius and tipping moment of the crane and compare this with the crane manufacturer`s load charts. The Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) or Load Moment Indicator (LMI) will automatically pre-warn the operator and alarm personnel on the installation or supply vessel about load, moment or operational alarms.
Mipeg 1, complied with the regulations for lifting operations set by the authorities as early as the mid/late 70`ies, made for the North Sea area. Our latest generation Mipeg X, the Crane Monitoring System, building on the international success – Mipeg 2000, offers many additional features requested by many end users, world wide.

Safe Reach Indicator
- No more guesswork – shows how far you can safely go
- Plan your lifting operations
- Save time by knowing your reach
- Be more productive without compromising safety
Hook Position System — RSI
- A2B kick-out using encoders — no additional equipment on the boom
- Defines boat sector, safeguarding Automatic Overload Protection Systems – AOPS
- Visual position of the hook
- Monitors hook travel giving warnings on overspeed and max rope pay-out
Slew Operation Monitor – OLM
- Maps the critical deck area and shows the available deck space
- Protects assets and personel
- Collision avoidance through slew and boom limits
- Prevents dropped-object and collisions by creating multiple “no-go zones”
Wind Speed & Direction System
- Shows actual wind speed and gust
- Alarms when critical limits are exceeded
- Displays wind direction relative to boom position indicating how it affects the load
Configurable settings
Add features to your 15” color touch screen as you utilize the options prepared in the system software and activate :
• Hook Position, Rope Speed Indicator monitors A2B limits, Rope End and “AGOP/AOPS” sectors.
• Slew and Boom Limits (OLM), alerts operator before hitting objects in “No-Go-Zones”.
• Safe Reach Indicator, lets operator know how far to boom down with the actual weight carried by the hook before exceeding pre-warning and alarm limits – “plan ahead tool”.
• Wind Speed and Wind Direction relative to the boom.
User friendly
• Easy to understand using intuitive graphics and symbols. Touch screen for simple, quick operation and acknowledgement
• High back lighting of 1000 cd/m2 – giving a visible display even in sunlight, dimmable for night operation
• Resistive touch screen. May be used with gloves.
• On board help such as:
− Operating and maintenance manual
− Guidance and help procedures
Extreme specification
• All parts including the operator`s display, ingress IP 66
• System operating temperature
− Cab equipment: -20 to 120oF (-30 to 50oC)
− External, boom mounted equipment -40 to 140oF (-40 to 60oC)
• Certification to meet both Atex and IECEx (zone 2)
Compatible with the Mipeg 500,1000 and 2000 load sensor family.
*Note 1: Certified conditions are listed in the certificate and may alter from max operational conditions.
