Ship construction

A digital shipyard is achieved by integrating the three main systems involved in ship construction: product lifecycle management (PLM), manufacturing operations management (MOM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP). Connecting these systems in one environment creates a single source of truth, leading to better visibility and decision-making.

With a digital ship construction solution, you can realize three key benefits:

• Maximized planning efficiency and productivity during the ship construction process
• Building complex vessels faster by eliminating process inefficiencies and suboptimal planning
• Fewer quality issues with closed-loop quality management

Secure data management, bill-of-materials management, quality management, production planning tools and process validation tools are important capabilities to look for in a ship construction solution.

Yes, our ship construction solutions, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, are flexible and scalable, meaning they'll work with your established tools and processes.

Choosing a solution that's flexible in its configuration increases the likelihood of a smoother implementation. A cloud-based solution paired with the leading low-code application development environment can streamline the process and speed up implementation. Choosing a partner that provides excellent customer service is also critical to a smooth implementation.

For most shipbuilding projects, 80-90% of the project's total cost will be spent during construction. Therefore, efficient planning is key to success. Our solutions for ship construction can create a data backbone that connects key disciplines across the construction process, giving you full transparency into production and helping ensure quality at every stage of the shipbuilding process.
