Globally, SPLM noted that key business trends and challenges that impact on shipyards, including those in Asia Pacific, revolves around the issue of efficiency.

“A lot of the questions that they bring to us is how to get more throughput with the existing capacity they already have … so topics like capacity management, resource allocation, improving their design and execution with existing resources are some of the key trends that we have seen,” Peters said.

Against this background, SPLM has devised solutions for the offshore and marine industry by unifying design, engineering, manufacturing and delivery teams through an open PLM platform. This helps its customers integrate their data in such a way that they are managing their entire enterprise.

Linking “project execution with engineering activities and construction … we help them to communicate more effectively and they are able again to produce more … get better quality rigs out and … get more rig throughput out of the factories,” Peters explained.

Shipyards can do so via enterprise data management, which helps to facilitate the making of intelligent decisions faster. SPLM’s fourth generation design will assist shipyards to bring their designs to market earlier, while its bid response management help these companies to address new bids faster by leveraging on past knowledge.
