A Dassault Systemes product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 12, 2009

Dassault Systemes, a provider of 3D and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, has announced that Akva Group will integrate the Enovia solution with its existing Microsoft Dynamics AX solution.

Akva, a Norwegian aquaculture enterprise, designs, manufactures and services aquaculture systems for land- and water-based fish farms around the world.

The Enovia technology is intended to enable Akva to synchronise collaborative business practices, business management and expansion across its worldwide facilities.

Implemented by Technia, Dassault Systemes's Norwegian business partner, Akva will deploy several Enovia products, including Designer, Engineering and Program Centrals, to manage key business processes, including materials compliance and global IP management.

These PLM functionalities, in conjunction with Akva's installed mechanical design system and the group's Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP system, will operate on a Microsoft SQL server.

Jone Gjerde, the Akva Group's chief operating officer, said: 'Enovia PLM provides an enterprise-wide collaboration platform for our global business and research-and-development resource, allowing developers from all over the world to work together within a single unified repository for IP retention, change management, quality and release processes.

'Newly acquired businesses will speedily accord with Akva compliance standards following the introduction of Enovia methodologies.

'Dassault Systemes's Enovia was selected by Akva because of its advanced functionality, speedy 'out-of-the-box' configuration, installation and implementation procedures.

'We expect its very competitive pricing to produce financial payback within 12 months,' he added.

In a bid to sustain world demand for healthy low-fat protein without depleting wild fish stocks, and indeed aiding their recovery, fish farms are becoming ever larger and more productive.

Akva provides advanced biomass calculators, Doppler feed sensors, huge sea lion-proof enclosures, ships equipped to clean nets and bring food and the software and electronics that secure maximum yield.

Gjerde said: 'The benefit to Akva of Enovia PLM, coupled with Microsoft ERP technology, is that it facilitates seamless unification and synchronicity with common business standards across our expanding global enterprise.'.
