Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Renews Commitment With AVEVA
Leading Japanese engineering and shipbuilding company, Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES) Co. Ltd. continues its commitment to AVEVA by recently investing a significant amount in AVEVA's flagship product - AVEVA PDMS.
MES group's operations are diversified into eight portfolios that include environment-related recycling, IT and software services, shipbuilding, plant engineering and logistics, machinery and energy systems, making it one of Japan's largest and most successful marine engineering companies to date, since it was founded in 1917.
MES have recommitted themselves to AVEVA PDMS to help them underpin their success in the Plant Engineering Division. MES first engaged AVEVA plant engineering solutions in 2000, when AVEVA PDMS was installed at Dash Engineering, an MES subsidiary in Cebu, Philippines. Prior to 2000, AVEVA also had a long standing working relationship with MES on shipbuilding solutions.
AVEVA PDMS is an intelligent 3D plant design application used for accurate and clash-free plant design on projects of any scale. It provides the capability to check, change and share design data across the project, making the complicated design and operational processes more fluid and easier to navigate through various players.
T. Sakagawa, Director of Plant Engineering says, "We are certainly pleased to have renewed our commitment with AVEVA. Now MES can continue to look forward to the added operational efficiency and fiscal benefits of working with AVEVA PDMS - a system that we've found to make the complexities of plant design and construction so much easier to understand, monitor and manage."
AVEVA PDMS operates like a 'virtual design office'. Its high performance design tools, centralised project control and robust communications allow for effective use of capacity, wherever it exists. For MES this can only indicate a move towards optimal operational levels as the use of PDMS generates faster and more fluid communications, easier control of the design environment and more effective use of time.
Peter Finch, President of AVEVA Asia Pacific says, "MES has been working with AVEVA since 2000 and have recorded successful results using AVEVA PDMS technologies. MES is indeed a dynamic organisation and an innovative leader in the engineering and shipbuilding industry and we are proud to count them as a client. MES' superior engineering and shipbuilding know-how coupled with AVEVA's best in class solutions certainly form the basis of a model partnership, one that AVEVA hopes to continually grow and support in the future".
About Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES) was established in 1917. The Group's principal activity is shipbuilding. Although one-third of its sales come from this sector, MES also makes industrial machinery (engines, boilers, gas turbines, and robotic systems) and constructs plants (for water treatment, oil refining, waste treatment facilities, refuse disposal, gas chemistry, and chemicals). The Group's other divisions build such steel structures as bridges, watergates, and penstocks, and also deal in telecommunication systems, electronic appliances, control systems, induced heaters and semiconductor production.
