How It Works
Imagine a smart vessel where every onboard system — from lighting and pumps to windlasses and blowers — operates in perfect harmony, all managed through a sleek, intuitive interface.
At Barantech, we’ve brought this vision to life with the Cruzo Boat Control System, a comprehensive solution designed to help boat manufacturers deliver smarter, more connected vessels to their customers.
The Cruzo platform combines advanced piezoelectric technology, intelligent control panels, and remote access capabilities to create a fully integrated system that enhances both functionality and user experience. With its customizable design, proven reliability, and scalable architecture, the Cruzo system is the ideal choice for manufacturers looking to future-proof their vessels and meet the growing demand for modern, connected boating experiences.
The Core Components of Barantech’s Cruzo Boat Control System: Enabling Smarter, Connected Vessels
Cruzo Boat Control transforms your vessel into a connected, smart boat with seamless, modern control. Our solution is built around three core components that work together to deliver a reliable, intuitive, and fully integrated control system for any type of vessel.
Cruzo Glass Panel:

A Sleek and Durable Control Interface, the Cruzo Glass Panel is at the heart of our control system.
Designed with piezoelectric technology, this sleek, customizable control panel provides a durable, solid-state interface for managing essential onboard functions, such as:
- Lighting systems
- Bilge pumps
- Blowers
- Windlasses
With no moving parts, the panel is highly resistant to saltwater, UV rays, and extreme weather conditions. For boat manufacturers, this means reduced maintenance costs and fewer warranty claims, while delivering a premium, modern design that appeals to end users.
Why It Matters for Manufacturers:
- Customizable layouts for various vessel types.
- Durable and reliable for long-term performance.
- Modern aesthetic that elevates the overall design of any vessel.
Cruzo Relay Pack:
The Cruzo Relay Pack expands the capabilities of the control system by connecting to multiple onboard devices. This modular system simplifies wiring and reduces the complexity of managing various circuits on the vessel.
From navigation lights to pumps and windlasses, the relay pack ensures that boat manufacturers can offer a comprehensive solution without overcomplicating the build process. It’s designed to work seamlessly with both modern and legacy systems, making it adaptable for new builds and retrofits alike.
Why It Matters for Manufacturers:
- Reduces wiring complexity during production.
- Supports multiple devices from a single interface.
- Easily integrates into existing vessel designs.
Cruzo Connect Mobile App:
The Cruzo Connect Mobile App provides a powerful remote control feature for managing the boat’s key systems from a smartphone or tablet. For manufacturers, this is a high-value selling point to offer end users, as it enhances convenience and control.
The app allows boat owners to:
Turn lights on and off remotely.
Monitor system statuses in real time.
Control pumps and other essential functions without being physically at the panel.
For manufacturers, offering a connected app adds a layer of modern technology that differentiates your vessels in a competitive market.
Why it matters for manufacturers:
- Adds remote access functionality for end users.
- Enhances the perceived value of the vessel.
- Modernizes the onboard experience with smart technology.
