Cadmatic design advantage for Meyer Shipyards
Meyer is boosting the outfitting design and construction of its cruise vessels by expanding the use of Cadmatic software at its shipyards in Finland and introducing it into Germany.
The goal of the investment is to shorten lead-times in design and construction, improve the quality of design, and harmonize the company’s ways of working across the shipyards and its subcontractors.
“After technically evaluating for more than a year, we are convinced that Cadmatic Outfitting Design and data management software is the best choice for our complex and extreme scale cruise ship projects,” said Jan Meyer, CEO, Meyer Turku.
“Our partnership with CADMATIC will be a key element in our journey to the next level of digitalisation – made in Turku and Papenburg.”
Complex design
Mr Meyer said that the design and construction of a cruise ship is an extremely complex process that requires the integration of multiple design & production disciplines, the ship owner and many suppliers.
Today’s cruise ships are floating smart cities. Thus, such projects also stand out due to their large scale that requires the design, management and production of tens of millions of parts.
For this reason, Cadmatic’s software will be an important element for the shipyards to streamline the process from design to production and seamlessly integrates multiple parties into one project and one database.
“We are excited about being part of Meyer’s development in Finland and Germany and throughout their extensive shipbuilding network in the whole of Europe. Both companies are significant innovators and forerunners in their own business fields,” said Jukka Rantala, CEO, Cadmatic.
