Next Generation of dKart Office Feature Objects Database
HydroService AS announces the release of next generation of dKart Feature Objects Database software (dKart FODB 2.1) for use with their dKart Office ENC and Paper chart production system. dKart FODB is intended for centralised handling of scale-independent objects information (aids to navigation, traffic separation schemes, pipelines, etc.).
The benefits of such ‘enhanced NavAids database’ are fairly obvious. Any scale-independent object (e.g. buoy) that belongs to several charts is created/edited only once (in the database). Applied up-dates/changes are distributed to the affected charts in an automated way.
Such an approach offers increased information reliability and consistency (since there is a single information source) as well as reduced production and maintenance costs.
