Part 2 of the integrated ship design & engineering series: Driving efficiency with multidisciplinary design 

Shipbuilding is growing more complex by the day. Multidisciplinary design helps shipyards stay efficient by connecting every domain in one shared environment.
See how it’s reshaping modern design.

Integrated ship design & engineering series, Part 1: Breaking down silos with cross-domain integration 

In shipbuilding, even a small disconnect between design and production can set entire programs adrift. Cross-domain integration keeps every team anchored to the same real-time data, helping shipyards stay aligned and confident from concept to delivery.

Adopting a digital ship construction strategy – Part 3: Optimize your shipbuilding strategy with a virtual shipyard 

In the final post of our digital ship construction series, discover how shipbuilders are using virtual shipyard strategies to plan smarter, adapt faster and scale operations without expanding their footprint.

Adopting a digital ship construction strategy – Part 2: Perfect your manufacturing plan before production begins 

Disconnected planning slows progress and drives up costs. Especially in shipbuilding, where complexity is the norm. In this series, we…

Adopting a digital ship construction strategy – Part 1: Integrate engineering and manufacturing for smarter builds

Disconnected teams and outdated processes are costing shipyards time and money. Discover how a connected PLM backbone helps unify engineering and manufacturing, eliminate manual handoffs and provide real-time visibility so you can build smarter from the start.
