Engineering What’s Next: VARD on AI, Automation and the Future of Complex Shipbuilding
Description
VARD designs and builds some of the world’s most complex, high-technology vessels, requiring engineering teams to balance innovation with increasing cost pressures, evolving regulations, global supply chains and highly concurrent ways of working.
In this session, VARD will share how its approach to engineering has evolved alongside the growing complexity of modern shipbuilding, and the role of AVEVA as a long-standing strategic technology partner supporting that journey.
Looking ahead, VARD will explore what comes next as the industry moves beyond simply building bigger, smarter and greener vessels, and how AI, automation and new ways of working could reshape engineering across an increasingly global workforce.
