Meyer Werft aims to enhance data-driven shipbuilding using CADMATIC, with a new build currently underway in Papenburg using the CAD technology.

CADMATIC's design and information management solutions have been used at Meyer’s Turku and Rostock shipyards for over 10 years and at its Papenburg yard since 2018. Meyer Werft CEO Jan Meyer explained, ‘After using CADMATIC for more than three years in Papenburg, and longer in other locations, I am convinced that CADMATIC Outfitting Design and Information Management software is the best choice for our complex and extreme scale ship projects. 

‘Our partnership with CADMATIC is a key element in our journey to the next level of data-driven shipbuilding.’ 

Building an ‘ocean giant’ 

Meyer Werft, Papenburg is currently using CADMATIC in the building of a 144,000gt, 1,250-passenger cruise ship being delivered this year. ‘...We have run through the whole design cycle and are successfully building an ocean giant with CADMATIC,’ commented the shipyard’s chief information officer, Paul Meyer. ‘It streamlines the process from design to production and seamlessly links with materials management and other systems.’  

Features 

CADMATIC is an open software platform that presents optimal layouts and arrangements, saves time on routine steps otherwise carried out manually and monitors production scheduling and execution accuracy.

Data migration and conversion are also performed automatically.  

‘I am delighted that Meyer shares our vision of digital transformation and data-driven shipbuilding,’ stated CADMATIC CEO Jukka Rantala. ‘Together we have shortened lead-times in design and construction, improved design quality, and harmonised the way of working across Meyer's shipyards and its subcontractors.’
