Nieaf-Smitt produces analogue indicators for maritime applications. Keyword for our production and R&D is flexibility. All instruments are produced on customer request and built on order.

We primarily produce navigation instruments for bridge, bridge wing and control room installation. For example for speed, RPM, rate of turn, and pitch. Especially rudder indication is a very important application.

Coming from traditional electromechanical technology, the latest developments in maritime instrumentation are based on processor controlled stepper motor technology and digital communication (bus). Offering ultimate flexibility in terms of interfacing with ‘the outside world’.
