AVEVA Corporation, which has a wealth of global achievements in the process manufacturing industry, and NEC, which has supported Japan's process manufacturing industry for many years, began their collaboration in 2022. A dialogue between the two companies has now taken place, where Masaki Kogure, Vice President and Head of Japan at AVEVA Corporation, and Takenori Mishima, General Manager of NEC's Second Manufacturing Solutions Division, passionately discuss the background and objectives of their collaboration, as well as future prospects. Please take a look for insights into solving challenges.

On November 20, 2024, AVEVA Corporation, the Japanese subsidiary of AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software driving digital transformation (DX) and sustainability (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, VP, Japan General Manager: Masaki Kogure, hereinafter referred to as AVEVA), announced that Japan Catalysts Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Kazuhiro Noda, hereinafter referred to as Japan Catalysts) has implemented the cloud-based integrated engineering solution "AVEVATM Unified Engineering1" on the CONNECT2 platform to improve the efficiency of construction design operations at its Himeji manufacturing plant.

The British company Aveva, which specializes in design systems for ships, held a user conference in Tokyo on the 21st. Imabari Shipbuilding and Namura Shipbuilding introduced their efforts towards 3D design, demonstrating the effects of 3D implementation such as reductions in design man-hours and the challenges of adoption. Additionally, the direction of digital transformation (DX) in South Korean shipyards was reported, indicating that major shipbuilding companies are progressing to the next phase of factory monitoring.

UK-based AVEVA, a leader in design systems, emphasizes the importance of data integration between ship design and actual operations. They state that for advanced vessels such as those using new fuels, the mutual utilization of data in design, construction, and operation becomes crucial. They aim to achieve "digital handover," which involves using design data in actual operations, in collaboration with the shipbuilding industry and others. We spoke with Gauthier Stone Street, Product Manager of the Marine Division, and Matt Miller, Industry Principal, about the company's solutions and trends in digital transformation within the maritime industry.
