Intergraph Introduces SmartMarine 3D Design Software for Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries
Intergraph Corp . introduced SmartMarineT 3D.
Previously known as IntelliShip®, SmartMarine offers improved modeling, detailing and manufacturing capability for offshore devices and ships for unrivaled productivity and user friendliness.
SmartMarine provides a multidiscipline, integrated and design environment that reduces costs and shortens project schedules for shipbuilders and offshore design firms alike. SmartMarine couples engineering, automatic drawings generation, production planning and manufacturing.
"SmartMarine is the most advanced marine design solution in the market today. It's a next-generation, full 3D system, not '2 1/2 D' as is the case with some other, old-fashioned systems that are still used in the marine industry," said Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine. "The new product branding from IntelliShip to SmartMarine reflects the investment in the solution by leading marine systems clients, such as Keppel FELS of Singapore, COSCO Shipyard Group of China or Grenland Group in Norway, to design ships and offshore devices more effectively."
"Intergraph solutions have been expanded to support the offshore industry, with additional features for manufacturing and production planning and outputs, as well as modeling, detailing and manufacturing enhancements," Sallinger said. "Any marine structure, whether it's naval or commercial ships, offshore platforms, semi-submersibles or FPSOs, can be delivered faster and better using SmartMarine."
Intergraph software has expanded and evolved to meet the needs of the world's leading shipbuilding and offshore companies and classification societies. Users such as Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) or the Odense Steel Shipyard Group have significantly reduced engineering time, rework errors and material costs. Customers also foresee continued productivity improvements by using SmartMarine.
"The shipbuilding and offshore industries simply deserve better solutions than the outdated products still being used today. We believe that SmartMarine represents a giant step forward for the productivity of the industry," Sallinger said.
