CrewWatcher MOB device
Weems & Plath
Today, Weems & Plath's CrewWatcher™ man overboard alarm system (CrewWatcher), received the prestigious Progressive Miami International Boat Show Innovation Award, one of the industry’s most significant honors, recognizing manufacturers and suppliers who bring new, innovative products to the boating industry. This is the fourth award for CrewWatcher, having recently won the DAME award in the Safety category at METS, among others.
CrewWatcher is a revolutionary, app-based crew overboard alarm system that is the fastest way to rescue a person who is overboard. The system works like a virtual lifeline and is made up of two components: a smartphone application and a small beacon that can be comfortably worn by each crew. The beacon does not require complex manual activation. The alarm will trigger automatically in a Man Overboard (MOB) event. Should someone go overboard, it will automatically sound an alarm, provide lat/long coordinates of the MOB event, the time of the event, and guide the rescuer back to the point of loss.
This year’s program evaluated 62 products across 19 categories. CrewWatcher was recognized for excellence in Consumer Safety.
“This recognition of CrewWatcher reinforces our commitment to bring new technologies to market that improve boating safety,” said Weems & Plath CEO, Peter Trogdon. “As always, safety at sea is a top priority at Weems & Plath.”
