SMM Antti Marine,

SMM Antti Marine, Kanunki © Antti The »Icon of the Seas« entered service in January 2024. Antti Marine delivered over 3,200 e-hinges for certain types of stateroom doors onboard the cruise ship. The e-hinge and an online RFID lock connect the door to the ship’s ethernet network. The lock is also supplied with electricity via the e-hinge (PoE). The cabin key can then be used as an identifier, for example when the passenger buys services onboard or in a partnered resort. Conservative systems leave the online cabling exposed when the door is open, making it vulnerable to accidental damage, and even vandalism. In the intelligent system, the cabling between the door leaf and the door frame is implemented with an e-hinge. So, the cable is invisible and protected all the way. Antti Marine has thoroughly tested the functionality of the e-hinge. It is totally maintenance-free and corrosion resistant, the company says. It has been tested according to the EN1935 standard for durability up to class 11, which is over 200,000 test cycles for an 80-kilogram door. The electronic operation of the e-hinge is tested in as many as three stages: first mechanically and for the electronic features at the hinge manufacturer, then the wiring is tested in a pre-cabled hinge with RJ45 connectors, and finally, the e-hinge is tested when installed in the finished door.
