360 Vision for Superyachts | Panoblu

Ben talks with Sascha Kunze of Panoblu about a 360-degree thermal-IR camera purpose-built for superyachts. We unpack how full-sphere situational awareness supports close-quarters maneuvering, anchor watch, night navigation, and incident review - while respecting guest privacy with configurable zones and on-vessel data control. Sascha explains RAD - Range Awareness Display - for real-time distance overlays, fleet monitoring options, and an early adopters program shaping the roadmap. If you manage operations, safety, or guest experience, this episode clarifies where panoramic vision complements radar, AIS, and bridge systems to reduce risk and improve decision-making.

Key Points

• 360 thermal vision adds redundancy to bridge sensing.
• RAD overlays distances for precise maneuvering and anchoring.
• Privacy-first configuration keeps sensitive areas off-camera.
