Streamlining Engineering at Aker Solutions

Digel is working with Aker Solutions to advance engineering processes, particularly in the design of stair towers for offshore installations.

Project Overview

The application reduces the traditional design time for stair towers from several weeks to a few minutes. Using Python and the ParaPy framework, it automates the complex design process, while ensuring each stair tower is structurally sound and ergonomically efficient for safe use by offshore personnel. Additionally, the application integrates seamlessly with E3D from Aveva, a 3D design software used extensively in process and power plant engineering.

Digel's Role

Our contribution includes software development and project management. Digel utilizes our industrial expertise and knowledge of both traditional engineering and software competencies to effectively address specific engineering challenges.

'It is inherent in Digel's nature to engage in processes that drive disruptive changes in industrial operations', says Christoffer, reflecting on the core philosophy that guides our work.

Conclusion

The collaborative efforts between Digel and Aker Solutions demonstrate the benefits of applying modern software solutions to streamline complex engineering tasks, setting new standards for efficiency and innovation in the industry. To achieve truly disruptive changes, it is essential to possess expertise not only in engineering but also in IT. Mastery of both disciplines is key to realizing the real benefits of digitalization.
