A Partnership for Modern Shipyards
SSI and CanvasGFX work together to help shipyards close the gap between engineering and the shop floor. By combining SSI’s domain expertise in shipbuilding platforms with CanvasGFX’s cutting‑edge model‑based work instruction technology, we deliver digital work instructions that are practical, explainable, and usable today.
Why This Partnership Matters
- Plan in ShipbuildingPLM, Not Spreadsheets: Seamlessly extract digital work instructions (DWI) directly from your planning systems, not from siloed spreadsheets.
- Accelerate Engineering Change: Don’t wait for a finalized CAD model. Author or update instructions instantly within the DWI platform.
- Empower the Shop Floor: Leverage intuitive, visual instructions that guide operators step by step — exactly when they need them.
- Modern Shipbuilding = Competitive Advantage — With these modern workflows, high-throughput, quality, and agility become standard.
AI You Can Actually Use
CanvasGFX brings AI-driven digital work instructions that are explainable and practical. Shipyards can harness AI to streamline planning, update instructions dynamically, and ensure teams always have usable guidance on the shop floor.
Long-Term Strategy
This is a long-term partnership between SSI and CanvasGFX, focused on helping shipyards transform operations with digital-first workflows, practical AI, and improved collaboration across engineering and production.
