Case Study: AVIC International achieves improved efficiency, collaboration and high-value vessel design with AVEVA

Avic International improved efficiency, collaboration, and productivity by switching from local software options to AVEVA’s 3D modeling and parametric design, marine-specific design, and planning software

AVIC International, the shipbuilding arm of AVIC International Holding Company, faced limits from locally developed design software that lacked robust 3D, parametric and collaboration capabilities needed to compete in high‑value vessel construction. To support large, complex projects (including a Stena RO‑RO with 930 passenger capacity) and tighter global collaboration—notably with Finnish partner Deltamarin—AVIC switched to AVEVA’s marine‑specific 3D modeling, parametric design and planning software (the AVEVA Marine suite, including Initial Geometry, Hull Detail Design, Hull Structural Design, Assembly Planning, Outfitting, Marine Drafting and Cable Design).

AVEVA deployed its integrated Marine solutions and synchronized design data between teams, enabling a shared common data repository and early-stage data exchange with Deltamarin. AVIC’s team was trained on AVEVA systems within six weeks and the solution was validated in three months, eliminating design clashes through 3D/parametric workflows, accelerating communication and saving design time—helping AVIC become a specialist in high‑value vessel construction and deliver projects more quickly and collaboratively.
