Shin Kurushima Dockyard Company Limited Standardizes on Intergraph SmartMarine 3D

The company found SmartMarine 3D to be the perfect match for its requirements, being truly a next-generation solution with rule-based technology, enabling SKDY to include and enhance its own sophisticated automation rules to continuously drive productivity numbers. With SmartMarine 3D, SKDY continues to enhance its competitiveness in the global shipbuilding industry. SKDY has now standardized on SmartMarine 3D for its ship design department, using it as the shipyard’s enterprise solution of choice for all of its projects.

SmartMarine 3D’s unique architecture enables users to create their own custom rules that allow the automated creation of parametric structure detail, as well as manufacturing parts through either manual or automatic selection. SKDY has succeeded in changing part selection rules from manual to automatic through the integration of its unique shipbuilding know-how and expertise into SmartMarine 3D. SKDY will demonstrate cuts of four steel plates with the use of SmartMarine 3D’s manufacturing application and data at BARI-SHIP 2011, Japan’s premier shipbuilding industry event, to be held on May 19-21, 2011 in Imabari city. www.intergraph.com
