Provide mariners with the latest paper charts faster than ever

CARIS AutoChart automates the generation of paper charts in PDF and/or TIF formats from S-57 ENC files, significantly reducing or eliminating delays between the release of new S-57 ENC datasets and their corresponding paper charts. It creates each paper chart from a template file, populating it with relevant features from the matching S-57 ENC data. CARIS AutoChart handles the addition of borders, grids, marginalia information, depth contour labels, textual annotations, and masking as specified in the paper chart template. It also detects labels overlapping key navigation information and includes customizable label placement rules to automatically move labels and avoid conflicts.

Free up resources

CARIS AutoChart's versatility allows organizations to choose the approach that best fits their needs. Automated workflows enable resources to focus on complex tasks, such as the transition to S-100.
