Integrated Ship Design and Engineering

Today’s marine market demands greener, smarter, and more high-tech vessels. To remain competitive, shipbuilders must deliver those vessels on time, on budget, and on quality. Our Integrated Ship Design and Engineering solution enables marine companies to remain in control of the design spiral. By bringing all their multidisciplinary design data, processes, and tools in one centralized environment, they can break down information and collaboration silos, boost innovation, and improve enterprise productivity.

Integrated Project Planning & Execution

As the demand for high value-added vessels increases, so does the need to identify and mitigate the risks associated with more complex design and manufacturing processes. This need is compounded by the current climate of unpredictability and increased competition in the shipbuilding market. To remain competitive, a shipyard must deliver bids that are both attractive and accurate. To this end, having a fully planned, resourced, and budgeted end-to-end project management solution has become critical.

Digital ship lifecycle management

To meet today’s regulations and market demands, ships need to be greener, safer, smarter, more cost-effective, more connected, and more adaptable than ever before. As complexity increases, more parties need to be involved in the vessel design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes. With ship service lives reaching up to 40 years for a commercial vessel and 50 years for a naval one, it becomes apparent that robust ship lifecycle management is not optional; it is critical.

Digital Ship Construction

Les réglementations plus strictes et les exigences fonctionnelles personnalisées ont fait augmenter la complexité des navires. Cette vague frappe l'atelier au moment même où la concurrence et l'incertitude économique obligent les chantiers navals à réduire leurs coûts de production et leurs délais de mise sur le marché. Si elles souhaitent rester compétitives, les entreprises vont devoir réduire leurs budgets et leurs délais. Avec des marges déjà faibles, comment les constructeurs de navires peuvent-ils continuer à optimiser les coûts de production sans compromettre la qualité des produits ?
