ShipbuildingPLM is the only product lifecycle management (PLM) platform built exclusively for the shipbuilding industry. It enables shipyards to manage and organize complex project data, track and respond to changes, and support digital transformation initiatives such as digital twin construction and lifecycle integration. Powered by the Aras Innovator platform, ShipbuildingPLM combines world-class PLM technology with shipbuilding expertise to handle concurrent design, procurement, and construction processes while supporting legacy, current, and future ships.

Features

• Shipbuilding-Specific PLM: Designed for the unique complexities of shipbuilding projects, including hull structures, outfitting, and MRO activities.
• Integrated Lifecycle Management: Connects design, procurement, and construction workflows for seamless collaboration.
• Digital Twin & Digital Thread Support: Enables advanced digital initiatives by linking 3D models with lifecycle data.
• Change Management Tools: Provides impact analysis, visualization, and change order initiation to reduce rework and delays.
• Navisworks Integration: Connects PLM with 3D modeling tools for efficient design analysis and project management.
• Information Agnostic Platform: Access actionable data from multiple sources, eliminating silos and enabling context-driven collaboration.
• Concurrent Engineering: Supports simultaneous design and production activities across distributed teams.
• Open Architecture: Built on an open platform with integration capabilities for existing shipyard systems.
