Siemens PLM Software (Maryland Heights, MO) announced that Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors B.V. ('S-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands; www.vanoord.com), a marine contractor that works on worldwide dredge and water hydraulic projects, has standardized on Solid Edge software and Teamcenter Express software for its digital design and product data management, respectively.

Solid Edge with synchronous technology is the core CAD component of the Velocity Series portfolio and incorporates Siemens PLM Software's new breakthrough history-free, feature-based design technology. Teamcenter Express is the collaborative product data management (cPDM) component of the Velocity Series.

Van Oord uses Solid Edge 3D CAD system and Teamcenter Express PDM solution in its new shipbuilding division. These solutions enable automated engineering of specific parts for dredging installations. Van Oord will use Siemens PLM Software's solutions to optimize the control of its product designs and speed the execution of modifications. Bosch Engineering B.V., a Siemens PLM Software Velocity Series reseller, will manage the implementation of the solutions for Van Oord.

This is the second major Siemens PLM Software Velocity Series win in the dredging industry. (Earlier this year the company announced an agreement with shipbuilder IHC Merwede B.V., another global provider of specialized dredging material and complex, custom-built offshore ships.)
