Garmin continues to change the game with the new Panoptix PS70 live sonar for deep-sea fishing

Published

on

New Garmin RapidReturn sonar is the first to deliver live images up to 1,000′ below the surface

OLATHE, Kan., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), the world’s most innovative and recognized marine electronics manufacturer, today unveiled the Panoptix™ PS70, the latest addition to its award-winning live sonar lineup. Powered by Garmin RapidReturn™ sonar technology, the PS70 gives anglers a real-time view of what’s below the surface at greater depths than ever before. The fastest live sonar at 1,000′ on the market today provides a smooth, video-like view that updates a minimum of 10 frames per second – 6 to 8 times faster than the leading competitor at 1,000′ depth. See it in action here.

“Anglers have never seen live sonar images at depths like this or at this speed. Its wide sonar beam covers more of the water column at once and enables a quicker survey of the ocean floor in greater detail and can even show you where the targets are located, so it will take anglers less time to find bait, fish and structure – truly a game-changer for deep-sea sportfishing.” – Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

See fish live, catch fish deep

Garmin RapidReturn sets the standard for offshore live sonar – from small baitfish to target game fish – in real-time at depths up to 1,000′. With an 800-watt power output, the PS70 gives anglers stronger sonar penetration through the water and delivers four unique sonar modes that can be easily adjusted to fit a wide array of fishing techniques:

LiveVü™ Down – Anglers can see small baitfish and target game fish in real-time up to 1,000′ below the boat, while the wide 120-degree beam angle covers huge areas of water.Traditional Sonar – Crisp, clear fish arches with excellent separation of targets under the boat.Triple-Beam – A three-way traditional sonar split that gives returns from the port, straight down and starboard in an easy-to-understand traditional sonar view. Adjust the beam angles to fine-tune the three columns of sonar data.RealVü™ 3D Historical – Historical scanning technology helps find fish and build a map of the ocean floor while the boat is moving. It shows the entire water column in 3D, from the bottom to the surface and all fish in between. The True Motion 3D sonar returns feature follows the vessel’s course over the ground.

The stainless steel thru-hull PS70 transducer is also equipped with image stabilization that allows it to continuously adjust the sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so even in rough conditions, anglers will still see a steady sonar image.

Quick on the draw

Nobody knows the waters better than the anglers that fish them, and now with the PS70, it’s faster than ever before for anglers to survey the ocean floor in amazing detail. Thanks to enhanced QuickDraw Contours™, anglers can survey wide areas at depths up to 1,000′ below the surface, making it easy to view and store detailed contour maps in real time. Users have the option to contribute their data to the QuickDraw Community so it can be integrated into Garmin Navionics+ charts, or keep their contours saved to their chartplotter.   

The PS70 transducer can be flush or pocket mounted. It’s available now with a suggested retail price of $4,799.99, or as a bundle that includes a fairing block to allow for deadrise angles of 0 to 20 degrees and mounting hardware for $4,999.99. It’s compatible with a wide range of Garmin GPSMAP® chartplotters; click here for a full list of compatible devices. Visit garmin.com/marine to learn more about Garmin’s full lineup of marine products.

Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

The sheet metal fabrication services market is experiencing significant transformation due to the adoption of 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing. This innovative technology constructs 3D objects using digital files and builds the product in thin layers. Traditional manufacturing techniques are subtractive in nature, resulting in high material wastage and added costs for reclaiming scrap. In contrast, 3D printing optimizes material usage and reduces raw material and capital costs. Moreover, 3D printing enables the production of complex geometries that are challenging to manufacture through traditional methods. In the context of sheet metal fabrication, this technology is particularly beneficial for creating dies used in machine tools for punching processes. Dies, such as V-shaped, U-shaped, and 90-degree angle production, are expensive and have long lead times, delaying the metal processing process. With the advent of 3D printers, dies and tools can be produced quickly and cost-effectively using fiber-reinforced polymer. Furthermore, 3D printing allows for the manufacture of cost-effective parts that are significantly cheaper than traditionally manufactured parts, offsetting the high initial cost of the 3D printer. The advancements in 3D printing technology and its increasing adoption are expected to lead to a complete shift in the manufacturing process, ultimately driving the growth of the global sheet metal fabrication services market during the forecast period. 

Sheet metal fabrication is a thriving industry, focusing on creating metal products from flat metal sheets. Key trends include assembly networks for improved operational efficiency, novel materials like aluminum, brass, silver, stainless steel, carbon steel, and high strength alloys. Infrastructure investments in bending technology, such as plasma and 3D printing, and machining processes like cutting, welding, and robots, drive affordability and durability. Prominent players leverage machine learning for defect reduction. Lightweight components, essential in the defense and space industries, are in high demand. Metal cutting and bending technology advancements, including plasma and 3D printing, revolutionize production. The construction sector and infrastructure sectors rely on sheet metal fabrication for metal reinforcements in skyscrapers, railway bridges, residential units, and industrial shades. Ductwork, rain gutters, and other applications further expand the market. The defense sector continues to invest in sheet metal fabrication for defense equipment, satellites, and rockets.

Market Challenges

The sheet metal fabrication industry is experiencing a resurgence due to increased demand for commodities, leading to the modernization of manufacturing units. CNC machines are replacing traditional fabrication shop floor machines, enhancing efficiency, product quality, and customer satisfaction. However, a significant challenge arises from the lack of a skilled workforce, particularly in welding. This process accounts for approximately 80% of the cost in the field. The shortage of welders is a pressing issue, with the US, India, and China facing this problem acutely. The American Welding Society predicts a deficit of 400,000 welders in the US alone by 2024. The manufacturing sector’s lack of qualified labor results in increased labor costs due to overtime and longer production cycles, leading to inferior quality products and extended lead times, negatively impacting fabricators’ revenue.The Sheet Metal Fabrication Services Market faces several challenges in various industry verticals, including defense, aerospace, energy, and aviation. Key products include panels, brackets, enclosures, and components made from metals like steel, aluminum, silver, foil, plate, and casting. Pitfalls and Challenges include intense competition, sustainability, and recyclable metals. Smart manufacturing, industrial automation, and digitization through technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, building information modeling, on-demand manufacturing, collaborative robots, e-commerce platforms, and cutting, punching, stamping, forming, bending, welding, and finishing are essential for overcoming these challenges.
