Everything you need to know about ARMIT vessel monitoring, the EarthSmart Maritime Network™, myARMIT™, installation, alerts, BilgeMAX, and expanding your protection system over time.
ARMIT systems are designed to monitor the conditions that matter most on unattended vessels — including bilge water, battery voltage, shore power status, motion, intrusion, temperature, humidity, and other onboard events depending on the installed devices. If a monitored condition changes, ARMIT delivers an alert so you can respond quickly before a small issue becomes a major loss.
ARMIT was built for real boats in real environments. The system does not depend on marina WiFi, customer networking, or improvised smart-home hardware. Devices are battery-powered, engineered for unattended operation, and delivered through the EarthSmart Maritime Network™ and the ARMIT monitoring environment.
The EarthSmart Maritime Network™ is the connectivity layer that allows ARMIT systems to deliver alerts, telemetry, and system awareness across covered maritime areas without relying on local dockside internet infrastructure. It is part of the broader ARMIT / EarthSmart operating environment for connected marinas, waterfronts, and vessels.
ARMIT systems are designed to support a wide range of vessels, from small recreational boats to larger yachts and multi-system marine environments. The right device mix depends on the vessel layout, protection goals, and the conditions you want to monitor.
No. Core ARMIT monitoring is designed to operate without marina WiFi and without requiring the customer to provide onboard internet or network infrastructure. That is one of the core advantages of the system.
ARMIT systems are engineered for rapid alert delivery. Once a monitored device reports a state change, alerts are pushed through the ARMIT delivery path so the customer can be notified quickly. Exact timing can vary by the event type, installed device, and communication path, but the system is built for immediate awareness — not delayed batch reporting.
Depending on the installed devices, ARMIT can provide alerts for bilge events, shore power loss, battery conditions, vessel movement, hatch or intrusion events, temperature changes, humidity changes, and other critical monitored states.
myARMIT™ is the user-facing monitoring environment where customers can view system status, device health check-ins, alert activity, and account-level monitoring visibility. It serves as the command environment for understanding what is happening across your installed ARMIT systems.
myARMIT™ gives customers a centralized view of their system. It allows you to review alert history, view ongoing health and status reporting, organize monitored assets, and maintain visibility across one or multiple installed ARMIT devices and vessels.
Some ARMIT products are designed for straightforward DIY installation, while others are better handled by an ARMIT dealer or qualified marine technician depending on the vessel, the number of devices, and the scope of protection being deployed.
Yes. ARMIT works with dealers, installers, and marine professionals. If you want help selecting or installing the right system, contact the ARMIT team and we can help route you to the right path.
Systems are activated through ARMIT onboarding and provisioned into the monitoring environment once installed and connected. Activation ties the installed devices into the appropriate monitoring and alerting path.
Battery life depends on the device type, reporting behavior, installation environment, and how often the system experiences alert events. ARMIT devices are designed for long-life, unattended operation and to reduce the burden of constant maintenance.
BilgeMAX systems should be tested to confirm that the monitored condition produces the expected alert and that the installation path is functioning properly. In many configurations, customers can test the float-based trigger path directly to verify alert delivery and system operation. Testing should always end with returning the float or trigger state to normal operating position.
BilgeMAX placement depends on bilge geometry and the earliest meaningful point at which water rise should be detected. In general, the float should be installed where it can detect the intended water event, while the connected sensor should be placed in the highest, driest, and most secure practical location appropriate for the boat.
In many cases, yes. If your vessel has multiple isolated or risk-relevant bilge compartments, multiple monitoring points may be required for full coverage. The right configuration depends on vessel layout and monitoring goals.
Absolutely. BilgeMAX is only one part of the broader ARMIT ecosystem. Customers can also monitor battery health, shore power status, motion, intrusion, temperature, humidity, and other onboard conditions depending on the installed system.
Yes. ARMIT systems are designed to expand over time. Many customers begin with a starter kit and later add MAX Series devices or broader vessel protection layers as their needs evolve.
Voyager Connectivity™ extends the monitoring environment beyond fixed coverage zones by adding a continuity layer between the vessel, installed ARMIT devices, and the broader EarthSmart Maritime Network™. It is designed for customers who want persistent system awareness as their vessel moves beyond the dock or beyond covered infrastructure zones.
Yes. ARMIT and myARMIT™ are designed to support more than a single vessel use case. The system can be deployed across multiple boats, marina environments, and other monitored assets depending on the operating model and deployment scope.
Yes. ARMIT supports private vessel owners, marina operators, host partners, marine professionals, and dealers looking to improve visibility, monitoring, and response across connected marine environments.
