Breaking down digital silos and shaping the future of integrated shipbuilding

Why digital transformation can’t wait?

The shipbuilding industry is at a turning point. Growing project complexity, stricter regulations, and the push for sustainability demand a shift in the way shipyards, design offices, and shipowners manage their data and collaborate. Yet, many still rely on disconnected systems engineering teams working in silos, operational data buried in separate databases, and outdated information causing costly rework.?

This fragmented approach is no longer sustainable. The future belongs to those who embrace integration – seamlessly connecting data, systems, and people into a single source of truth.?

Moving beyond digitalization to true integration?

Digitalization alone is not enough. To gain a competitive edge, shipbuilders must go beyond merely digitizing processes and focus on true integration – bringing together engineering data, project management tools, and real-world operational insights into one connected ecosystem.?

Imagine a shipyard where designers, engineers, project managers, and owners all have instant access to real-time data from a unified platform. A shipowner navigating an interactive 3D model enriched with live IoT data. A project manager identifying potential bottlenecks before they escalate, thanks to integrated material availability data.?

This level of connectivity is not a distant vision – it’s already possible with Cadmatic eShare.?

How Cadmatic eShare connects data, systems, and people?

Cadmatic eShare is built for true digital integration. It acts as a centralized hub where all project stakeholders can access up-to-date 3D models, engineering and operational data, and related documentation in one intuitive interface.?

Here’s how eShare transforms the way shipbuilders work:?

• Eliminates data silos – No more chasing down information across disconnected systems. eShare consolidates engineering, procurement, and operational data into a single, easily navigable environment.?

• Enhances collaboration – Engineers, project managers, and shipowners can access the same live data, ensuring fewer errors and miscommunications.?

• Supports smarter decision-making – By integrating with ERP, PLM, and maintenance systems, eShare provides real-time insights into project progress, asset condition, and operational performance.?

• Extends the value of 3D models – eShare transforms static engineering models into dynamic digital twins, enabling better lifecycle management of ships and offshore assets.?

The industry is moving – are you ready??

The question is no longer if shipbuilding will fully embrace integration but when. Companies that take the lead in adopting connected digital ecosystems will gain a significant competitive advantage, thereby reducing rework, cutting costs, and optimizing efficiency throughout the entire ship lifecycle.?

Cadmatic eShare is more than a technology, it’s a strategy for the future. Those who act now will set the pace for the industry, while those who hesitate risk being left behind.?

Are you ready to break down the silos and move towards true digital integration? The industry is evolving – make sure you’re leading the way.?
