Case Study: Damen Shipyards Group accelerates digital shipbuilding with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Damen Group digital shipbuilding | Customer Story

Damen Shipyards Group, a family-owned shipbuilder with a global presence, faced the challenge of modernizing its complex, siloed operations to meet growing demand for customized and sustainable vessels. To transition from a product-centric to a service-centric business model, Damen needed to achieve a continuous data flow across its entire value chain and replace its scattered IT applications. They partnered with Dassault Systèmes to implement a solution using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Dassault Systèmes provided the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as a single, connected digital environment to integrate design, engineering, and manufacturing. This solution standardized processes, provided a single source of truth, and enabled traceability across the product lifecycle. As a result, Damen's Naval division, with over 800 users, now works more efficiently with less error, and the Workboats division has moved from engineer-to-order to more efficient configure-to-order production. Dassault Systèmes' platform serves as the backbone for Damen's goal of becoming the world's most sustainable and connected shipbuilder.
