Imagine if building a giant ship was as seamless as using a single app instead of ten different programs that don't talk to each other. This project glues together the design, engineering, and manufacturing software into one smart system. It's like giving shipbuilders a digital twin that helps them avoid mistakes before the first piece of steel is even cut.
European shipyards suffer from a digitalization gap and disconnected software tools, leading to inefficiencies and high costs compared to Asian competitors.
An integrated cloud platform combining CAE, CAD, CAM, and PDM software for shipbuilding life cycle management.
If you are a commercial shipyard dealing with slow design cycles and communication gaps — this project developed an integrated CAE, CAD, CAM, and PDM platform that can save up to 30% in engineering time and 20% in assembly.
If you are a retrofitting firm dealing with a lack of historical vessel data — this project developed a life cycle data system that allows for better revitalization and maintenance using operational data.
If you are a naval architecture office dealing with disconnected design tools — this project developed a cloud-based computational toolset that improves traceability of early design impacts on the final product.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned as the project is currently in the development and testing phase.
Yes, the project targets TRL 8-9, meaning it is designed for a completed and qualified platform ready for a commercially competitive operational environment.
Based on available project data, the licensing terms are not specified, but the platform is being developed by a consortium of 12 partners including 9 industry players.
The platform integrates existing computational tools (CAD, CAE, CAM, PDM) into a single cloud solution to eliminate digital information gaps.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with the goal of reaching market-ready maturity by the end of the term.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 9 out of 12 partners (75%) coming from the industrial sector across 5 European countries. This high industry ratio, combined with 3 academic partners, suggests the project is focused on practical commercial application rather than theoretical research, ensuring the tool meets actual shipyard needs.
