OceanWings reports on its experience

with SchemELECT software

OceanWings has collaborated with SchemELECT since 2018 to accelerate the decarbonization of maritime transport. The company develops semi-rigid and rigid wings that harness wind power to propel ships. Joanna T., Communication & Marketing Manager, states their mission clearly: “to decarbonize maritime transport.”

The mechatronics team, led by Camille M., relies on SchemELECT “to design the electrical diagrams of the control cabinets for our OceanWings. This software helps us ensure the precision required for highly complex projects.” With this tool, the company creates clear, reliable schematics to control its propulsion system while meeting strict maritime standards.

Moreover, SchemELECT enhances flexibility throughout the process. It allows quick adjustments to diagrams based on each project’s specific needs, boosting agility and freeing up time for ongoing innovation.

Previously, OceanWings outsourced this technical work to external providers. Since adopting SchemELECT, the team handles everything internally: “a real gain in efficiency and autonomy,” says Camille M.

FTZ’s initial training made onboarding simple: “The training was clear and accessible, perfectly tailored to our needs.” In addition, the technical support team proved “available, responsive, and always clear,” reinforcing the team’s confidence in the solution.

OceanWings strongly recommends SchemELECT: “Yes, we would absolutely recommend SchemELECT. It perfectly meets our expectations, and FTZ support is a real advantage,” concludes the team.

HRS reports on its experience

with SchemPID software

The media are increasingly reporting on developments in the production of carbon-free energy, particularly in the transport sector.
The battery-powered electric vehicle solution faces problems of charging time and limited range.
Hydrogen, with its fuel cell, is a developing alternative that solves both these problems, while being emission-free and using truly renewable energy.

But to charge with hydrogen, it is necessary to provide access to it and to network the territory. That’s where HRS and its famous filling stations come in.

HRS, or “Hydrogen Refueling Solutions”, is the first French company to mass-produce refueling stations for large-capacity fuel cell electric vehicles (200 kg to 2 tons). The company targets all types of vehicle, as well as the industrial sector.

To design its equipment and associated processes, the HRS technical department uses SchemPID software published by FTZ.

Amaury N. from HRS explains:

About a year ago, SchemPID CAD software was integrated into our design process, to produce our piping and instrumentation drawings. SchemPID provides us with up-to-date, standardized P&ID drawings. SchemPID automatically extracts the lists and bills of material linked to the diagrams for distribution to the various people concerned. The training provided by FTZ was carried out by one of the company’s experts in order to best meet our needs. It enabled us to define the basics of the schematics and the desired lists.

The support department is also responsive and attentive to our requests. SchemPID is well suited to our process, and we plan to extend its use to other applications in our company.

Specialist in electrical installation for commercial and industrial buildings,

ELECTROFORCE reports use of SchemBAT software

Founded in 1976 in Gleizé (69), ELECTROFORCE carries out electrical installations for commercial and industrial buildings. The company operates throughout France.

After 24 years with the company, Mr. Timothée B. and 2 partners will take over ELECTROFORCE in 2021. These partners also own companies specializing in electrical installation and cabinet making. Today, ELECTROFORCE has around twenty employees and sales of just over 4 million euros.

Having risen from Design Office Manager to Managing Director, he explains why they’ve been using SchemBAT since 2008:

“At the time, we were looking for a more ergonomic schematic software than the one we had. I was approached by FTZ, who introduced me to SchemBAT. I found the software very interesting in its entirety, as it also allowed me to manage the drawings (layout) part of the installations.

Two people took the training, which was very professional. However, you need to use the software regularly to get a thorough grasp of the tool, as it offers a wide range of possibilities.

For our purposes, SchemBAT offers a number of advantages. It allows you to produce drawings and manage electrical diagrams at the same time. It also integrates supplier and manufacturer databases. It also allows us to use customized settings according to the specific needs of our company or activity.
