Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard, a CSSC subsidiary building military and commercial vessels, faced declining orders and high costs from fragmented design and production systems. The shipyard deployed the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with Designed For Sea and Optimized Production For Sea solutions to create a single data source. This enabled concurrent engineering across structure, machinery, electronics, and equipment disciplines while supporting real-time process control and digital work instructions.

Key takeaways

Single data source eliminated incompatible data and conversion issues across 100+ designers

Concurrent design of structure, machinery, electronics, and equipment reduced late-stage errors

Digital simulation of build processes and ergonomics validated manufacturability before execution

Preconfigured company rules and standards improved design compliance and downstream certification

Direct CNC data output from digital models accelerated production of plates and piping
