The Design, Build, Maintain lifecycle
The design, construction, and maintenance stages of a vessel’s lifecycle each have a set of unique challenges, but at every step, information from other phases needs to be considered. When the information cycle is working well, it’s easy to take advantage of prior designs for new projects or transition from design to fabrication and construction. […]

Integrated Shipbuilding Environment
The realities modern shipbuilders face necessitate working with many diverse sources of data. Many of those sources are right in the shipyard, but an increasing amount of information needs to be obtained from sub-contractors and third parties from around the globe. Being able to pull information from any data source, share information across departments, and […]

Naval Defense Project Overview
Today’s defense shipbuilding projects are immensely complex and involve millions of parts, particularly when multiple hulls are involved. Managing this complexity is only possible when data and information is smoothly driving every department, tool, and process, and change management happens seamlessly. See a sample of the 750+ defense projects SSI has helped make possible.

5 Keys to a Synchronized Digital Shipyard
Modern shipbuilding involves an enormous amount of information that is generated as a result of a ship’s design, construction, and operation. Connecting and synchronizing that information allows for easier technology implementation, insight into the entire lifecycle, and better decision making across a shipbuildingorganization. See the keys that make a synchronized Digital Shipyard possible.

Messy System Architecture
With so many stakeholders and systems within a shipbuilding organization, the need to connect, synchronize, link, federate, etc. all these platforms is imperative. Untangling the nest of messy systems through a platform of platforms approach deviates from the locked-in nature of many solutions and removes the burden of connecting systems from the end user. Simplifying […]
