Beijer X3 Marine – Industrial‑grade HMI engineered with Aquila for marine automation
The Beijer X3 Marine, integrated and supported by Aquila, is a rugged marine‑grade HMI platform engineered for automation, control and monitoring systems onboard vessels and offshore units. Built for harsh maritime conditions, X3 Marine combines powerful industrial hardware with the versatile iX HMI environment, enabling deep customization through C# scripting, NuGet‑based extensibility and secure web technologies.
Compliant with IEC 62443‑4‑2 cybersecurity requirements, X3 Marine ensures encrypted communication, secure data handling and safe integration into vessel automation networks. With high‑performance CPUs, large memory resources and durable construction, the X3 Marine series delivers reliable 24/7 operation in bridge consoles, machinery spaces and marine automation panels.
X3 Marine is available in multiple sizes with matching platform consistency, including X3 Marine web panels for flexible system architecture.
