To strengthen its competitiveness, particularly with dual-fuel engines, Hyundai Heavy Industries - Engine and Machinery Division implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to manage everything from design to manufacturing.
Who is Hyundai Heavy?
- One of the world's largest marine engine manufacturers with a 35% share of the global marine engine market
- Has its own mid-sized engine brand, HiMSEN
- Shifting its focus to dual-fuel engines
- Aims to become the world's number one sustainable energy provider for ship propulsion and power generation for onshore power plants
Why 3DEXPERIENCE?
- As HHI-EMD builds on its reputation as a world-leading engineering company specialized in engine development, it required a modern platform that would ensure continuity throughout the entire product development process, from engineering to manufacturing.
- It also needed to support three-way collaboration between HHI-EMD as the licensor, the licensee and ship owner, all of which are involved in engine decision-making.
- “As we expanded and developed the HiMSEN engine business, we found the need for systematic engineering collaboration with our licensees. We also needed to manage our data better." - An Kwang-hean, president & COO of Engine and Machinery Division
The Difference
- HHI-EMD has transitioned the 3D models for its HiMSEN engines to CATIA to allow its engineers to work fully within the 3DEXPERIENCE environment and effectively manage all engine options and derived models.
- Use CATIA for 3D modeling as well as ENOVIA and DELMIA for managing specifications, engineering BOM and manufacturing BOM.
- "It was important for us to be able to handle everything within a single platform. Design data, including 3D, bill of materials (BOM), drawings and related documents, were managed in different systems, resulting in inefficiencies in the design process and difficulty accumulating know-how. Because of the inconsistencies in our design data between each system, it was difficult to make revisions, track changes and modify all impacted elements. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform manages all this in one place and has changed our approach for the better.” - Kim Seungmin, senior manager of Engine and Machinery Division
- The company also uses ENOVIA to handle change management as efficiently as possible. “We use ENOVIA’s change management capability to clarify what to change and attach all related documents. Then, the model and BOM is approved and automatically revised. This entire process can be monitored through a personal dashboard.” - Kim Seungmin, senior manager of Engine and Machinery Division
