AVEVA software enables China’s AVIC to design and build new, complex vessels in a global partnership

AVIC management adopted AVEVA’s integrated design and engineering tools, tailored to the marine industry. With AVEVA’s help, AVIC has boosted collaboration across their global team and improved operational efficiency, achieving their ambition to become a specialist in high-value vessel construction. The AVIC team adopted AVEVA Global technology which allowed them to synchronise the design data from Deltamarin with their own systems at an early stage. The teams were trained in the new systems and were operational within just six weeks. AVIC International then validated the software by test and demonstration in just three months. As a result, all the teams working on the Ropax project could contribute information to a common data repository, which was shared throughout the design and operational group, no matter where they were located in the world. Other AVEVA Marine products were then introduced as required, to support detailed design and marine engineering functions. By using the AVEVA Marine suite, AVIC efficiently carried out the detailed structural design of the hull and produced 3D layout and detail drawings of all outfitting, eliminating clashes by using an integrated data repository that they shared with Deltamarin. Extensive use of parametric design further improved efficiency and saved design time, enabling the team to deliver the project swiftly and efficiently.
