Deployment will develop more efficient operating shipyard and implement industry best-practice

Sulzbach, Germany: AVEVA (LSE:AVV) today announced Nobiskrug, a leading German shipyard, has strategically invested in the AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management product family (AVEVA ERM).  Already an AVEVA Marine customer, Nobiskrug has now selected the AVEVA Material, AVEVA Planning and AVEVA Production products.

Specialising in Mega Yachts, Naval Vessels and Offshore Technology, Nobiskrug is continuously improving its shipyard operations, and is in the process of updating its IT/IS architecture. AVEVA ERM was identified as a vital element to develop a more efficient operating shipyard and implement industry best-practice. Nobiskrug's final solution will be integrated to a finance solution, which supports AVEVA's open approach, and allows customers to continue to use their best in class applications where possible. 

AVEVA ERM offers shipyards the ability to optimise project control to lower material and production costs, and plan more efficient work schedules, leading to shorter project timescales, higher productivity and increased project quality.
"Unlike many other solutions available on the market, AVEVA has extensive Marine industry knowledge. The solutions and technology offered meet the needs of both us and our customers," said Lukas Mensinck, Head of IT, Nobiskrug. "We get benefits including more efficient, integrated working processes and improved data quality, availability and visibility. This results in us achieving an accurate and efficient project that delivers the right information, material and resources to reduce risk, time and cost".

"Nobiskrug are an excellent marine reference customer. Our knowledge and experience will help them maintain their position as a leading shipbuilder within the market", added Ivan Siksne-Pedersen, Global Business Development Executive, AVEVA. "Having already successfully implemented AVEVA Marine, they will now experience two important elements of AVEVA's Integrated Shipbuilding strategy, which, when also using AVEVA NET, offers the most complete solution for integrating all aspects of the shipbuilding process".
