Case Study: Peters Shipyards achieves clearer, more effective drawing reviews with SMART Technologies

Shipbuilders Launch More Effective Review Sessions

Peters Shipyards, a 100‑year‑old shipbuilder in Kampen, Netherlands, needed a better way to review technical drawings in detail across design, installation and hull teams. A small touchscreen was deemed too limited, so the company sought a larger, collaborative display to improve clarity and communication during project reviews and training.

Peters chose SMART Board interactive whiteboards and accompanying software to display drawings (including 3D views), annotate directly, and facilitate more effective discussions. The solution has made reviews more productive and engaging, helped spot defects earlier, supported internal training, and set the stage for remote collaboration with partner Shipyard LEDA via planned SMART Bridgit conferencing to reduce travel and streamline joint reviews.
