SAAB Seaeye - Efficient design of remotely operated underwater vehicles with DDM

SAAB Seaeye is part of the SAAB Group and is a leader in the design of remotely operated vehicles (ROV). The company develops both standard solutions and customized systems to meet specific needs in marine and industrial applications.

With offices in Sweden and the UK, the teams work closely together, which places high demands on the efficient management of design files, documentation and CAD models. For SAAB Seaeye, it is crucial to always know which version is the latest and where a particular detail is used.

The challenge - secure and efficient file management

The company's engineering team works with complex designs and CAD files, often created in Creo, as well as other documents in Office format. Without an effective system, this can lead to:

• Versioning problem
• Time-consuming searches for files
• Risk of incorrect or outdated information

To ensure both productivity and quality, a PDM solution was needed to manage CAD files, documents and other relevant product information in a cost-effective and secure way.

DDM - fast and secure file management

SAAB Seaeye chose DDM to manage all relevant product information and CAD data. DDM enables engineers to:

• Securely store models from Creo
• Efficiently find and reuse files
• Focus on design and product development instead of file management
• Collaborate seamlessly between offices in Sweden and the UK

Adrian King from SAAB Seaeye explains:

"DDM allows us to securely and quickly store our models from Creo and all other relevant product information. We can then spend our time designing new products to increase revenue, safe in the knowledge that our files are easily accessible and updated when needed. DDM is quick to learn and easy to use. Saving and finding files takes seconds instead of minutes. We don't have to spend precious time managing complex folder systems."
