Maritime Manufacturing Industry

Maritime Manufacturing Industry

The Netherlands is a water country; a maritime nation. Our maritime manufacturing industry is of great strategic value and we should cherish it. Companies in this sector often struggle with increasing complexity due to changes in other industries and the integration of supply chains. The market demands a significantly shorter time-to-market, which requires rapid innovation.

With Smart Maritime, we are committed to a future in which digitization, climate adaptation and innovation are central. Our goal is to develop effectively cooperating (unmanned) ships and systems for maritime safety and security. The maritime industry is undergoing a transformation in which digitization is essential to maintain a leading position on the world stage. Everyone has to keep up, including you.

As an industry specialist, Ciphix knows the unique challenges and opportunities of the maritime manufacturing industry. With custom solutions, we provide the flexibility and speed needed to shorten time-to-market and stay ahead of the competition. In doing so, we transform outdated systems into the shipyard of the future and help the maritime industry remain independent, safe and prosperous.

What people say about us

The focus at Ciphix was clearly not only on the technology but more importantly on the added value the application needed to bring to the business

Elias Becker

Director of Supply Chain Solutions at Seacon Logistics

Ciphix looks at the complete process and has given us excellent advice in this process. Because they paid so much attention to the preliminary process, they can now develop quick and targeted solutions for us.

Ciphix’s expertise and an agile approach allowed us to fully leverage the power of Low-Code.

Now that we have discovered what is possible, we see many more opportunities for the optimization of various other business processes.

Elias Becker

Seacon Logistics

Ciphix has a lot of expertise and it is easy to communicate with them. Because Ciphix knows how the previous application was built, they can now build very quickly.

Sander Krak

Technical lead at Van Der Loo Yacht Interiors B.V.

I am really impressed with the impact we have already been able to make in a few months.

Proper tuning and setting of climate management on ships often listens closely, and requires software that allows our commission engineers to make and retrieve changes quickly and accurately. With Mendix low-code, an agile approach and intensive collaboration with end users, we were able to develop an app that optimally supports these complex processes. In doing so, we encourage uniform working methods, work faster and more efficiently, and increase the reliability of climate control on the ships we work on.

News & Insights

Frequently asked questions:

What is the importance of Low-Code in the maritime manufacturing industry?

Low-Code platforms are crucial in the maritime manufacturing industry because of their ability to accelerate software development, reduce costs and improve collaboration between technical and non-technical teams. They offer flexibility, better integration and customized solutions, allowing companies to accelerate their digital transformation and remain competitive. This leads to faster implementation of innovations and more efficient application maintenance.

What specific challenges can Low-Code help solve in the maritime sector?

Low-Code can reduce the complexity of production lines, improve quality control, and facilitate the integration of supply chains. It accelerates innovation and reduces reliance on scarce IT resources, allowing companies to respond faster to change.

How does Low-Code ensure that maritime companies remain competitive in a rapidly changing market?

Low-Code enables maritime companies to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market by significantly accelerating application development and deployment. This shortens time-to-market, allowing companies to innovate faster and bring new solutions to market faster. This speed enables maritime companies to respond flexibly to changing market conditions and customer needs, thereby maintaining a competitive advantage.

Is Low-Code the solution to achieve Smart Maritime's goals?

Yes, Low-Code supports the goals of Smart Maritime by enabling fast and cost-effective application development. It easily integrates with existing systems, facilitating real-time data analysis and automated decision making.

How do you link OT and IT?

OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology) can be linked through the use of IoT (Internet of Things) and integration platforms such as Low-Code solutions. IoT devices collect and transmit data from operational systems to IT systems, where this data can be analyzed and used for real-time monitoring and decision-making. A Low-Code platform can serve as a bridge between OT and IT, bringing together data from both domains into one clear and accessible system.

What steps is Smart Maritime taking to promote climate adaptation and innovation?

Smart Maritime promotes climate adaptation and innovation by:

  1. Digitization: Implementation of advanced digital solutions such as low-code platforms for more efficient processes and faster innovation.
  2. Climate Adaptation: Development of (unmanned) ships and systems adapted to changing climate conditions.
  3. Integration: Seamless integration of supply chains for holistic understanding and reduced complexity.
  4. Real-time monitoring: Using sensors and IoT for real-time data analysis and more informed decisions.
  5. Iterative development: Continuous improvement and adjustment based on customer feedback.
  6. Efficiency: Modernization of obsolete systems, error reduction and increased efficiency through central data storage and user-friendly interfaces.
