CARIS BEAMS (Bathymetric Engineering And Management System) is designed to assist in the safe and effective management of ports and waterways. It serves not only as a survey management and storage system but also as an engineering application for various bathymetric analyses such as volume calculations, surface differences, and channel condition reports to name a few.
BEAMS is an effective presentation tool for displaying results on screen as well as publishing documents such as notices to mariners, work orders, and so on. In addition to document publishing, BEAMS data can also be web-enabled through CARIS PORTIS (Port Information System), the latest Web mapping solution for port and waterway management offered by CARIS.
