Cloud Shipbuilding Platform Naval Architect vs. traditional process

Our Solution: Cloud Shipbuilding Platform

Rethinking Project Management for Shipbuilding

Naval Architect is the industry’s first Cloud Shipbuilding Platform to automate design, engineering, and production processes based on a digital ship model. We enable project teams to collaborate in a shared and cloud-based environment, maximizing your business efficiency and reliability and making sure that your projects are consistently delivered on time and budget.

Our solution in a nutshell: We provide a central platform for creating and managing project data based on a digital ship model that project teams collaborate on in the cloud. This central model is the “Single Source of Truth” and contains all information about the ship: e.g. General Arrangement, 3D CAD model, planning status, weight calculation, specifications, component data, project history and any other information you define. It is continuously maintained throughout the ship’s life and is the essential source of information.

While other shipbuilding software merely focuses on the improvement of isolated tasks, Naval Architect addresses the overall process. It fundamentally changes how stakeholders engage and interact in shipbuilding projects by moving from a process with information distributed across technical drawings, CAD data, and other documents towards a shared digital representation of the ship.
This central digital ship model serves as a reliable “single source of truth” for all stakeholders to collaboratively work on, which simplifies both ship project management and the ship design process.
We believe that optimizing the design phase is the best way to avoid unwanted additional costs caused by time delay, planning errors and poor change management. Our ship design software can be applied from project start to also cover the early ship building process where the improvement potential is high.

What sets us apart from existing Shipbuilding Software Platforms

Focus on the bigger picture – revolutionize the shipbuilding process

Naval Architect is the first Cloud Shipbuilding Platform that focuses on the entire process rather than isolated tasks. It fundamentally changes the way work is done and how stakeholders interact.

Existing CAD systems only reflect on the needs of the particular task addressed. In simple terms: CAD ship design systems provide a way to share CAD data across CAD users. Other stakeholders which are not familiar with CAD simply won’t be able to get the information they need without asking a CAD specialist.
Naval Architect – in contrast to traditional CAD ship design systems – provides a true digital representation of a ship for all stakeholders and disciplines. Being able to represent the information needs of the various stakeholders throughout the entire shipbuilding project is what makes Naval Architect unique. Therefore, our software for naval architecture is built as a cloud-native application that is completely accessible through the web browser, making it the easiest solution to incorporate all relevant users.
