IRS selects Dassault Systèmes to drive digital transformation & boost efficiency

Leading international ship classification society Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has entered into a collaboration with Dassault Systèmes to leverage virtual twin technology for driving its digital transformation and boosting operational efficiency.

The collaboration involves the use of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to optimise the performance and efficiency of complex marine and offshore projects. The platform will enable IRS to enhance and implement data-driven decision-making, concept design, engineering, integrated operations, and maintenance processes.

Additionally, the platform will enable IRS to create a virtual twin to enhance vessel lifecycle management, offer digital services on a unified platform, and provide end-to-end digital traceability.

“Complex marine and offshore projects need new ways to leverage the advanced technologies that are defining a new era in shipbuilding and gain an edge in the industry,” said Mr Deepak NG, Managing Director India, Dassault Systèmes.
