What's new in HPD

Discover the latest enhancements in CARIS HPD for efficient chart production, improved workflows, and compliance with modern hydrographic standards.

CARIS HPD 5.0.10 integrates SevenCs with S-100 Data Management System

This integration enables a streamlined workflow for S-57/S-100 data processing and quality control:

  • Process with HPD’s industry-leading production tools
  • Automate upload of HPD products to SDMS.
  • Validate and Review using SDMS’s advanced quality control and digital signing capabilities
  • Automate corrections with a seamless feedback loop; failed data is returned to HPD for correction

This joint solution enhances efficiency, ensures data integrity, and supports compliance with IHO S-57 and S-100 data standards.

The new version brings significant enhancements and feature expansions, many of which are the direct result of valuable feedback from our user community.
