Why this release matters
It makes USB control a local job people can actually finish.
USB Manager Local Edition is for vessels that need practical removable media control on standalone PCs without network connectivity, satellite connectivity, or complex setup.
Fully standalone
Built for standalone PCs that need local USB control.
Fully offline
No network or satellite connection is required.
Fast device actions
USB block and unblock operations are designed to be quick enough for busy shipboard work.
Local password control
A simple password gate keeps control understandable for the person at the machine.
Secure Copy
A controlled way to prepare USB media for offline PCs, ECDIS packages, and system updates.
Secure Copy
The USB handover becomes a checked sequence, not a hopeful drag and drop.
Secure Copy is designed for transferring files between offline PCs or preparing system updates such as ECDIS packages. The operator selects the files and the USB device, then the workflow handles the controlled transfer.

Standalone PCs
Local control without extra setup.
Local Edition is designed for PCs that need USB control to work on the machine itself, even when the vessel has no reliable connection.
Rollout question?
Use Local Edition where the vessel needs USB control without a platform rollout.
We can show where USB Manager Local Edition fits: standalone PCs, vessels with limited connectivity, offline update workflows, or a simple bridge before broader fleet visibility.
