OceanWings optimises its electrical studies with SchemELECT software
Founded in 2018, OceanWings is an innovative company actively contributing to the maritime energy transition. Specialising in ‘the design, manufacture and marketing of semi-rigid and rigid wings’ for wind propulsion, OceanWings offers solutions to ‘decarbonise maritime transport’, explains Joanna T., Communication & Marketing Manager at OceanWings.
These advanced technologies have concrete applications in large-scale projects, such as the transport of components for the Ariane 6 rocket, where their wings are used on ships to reduce their environmental impact while ensuring operational efficiency.
To meet the technical requirements of their projects, OceanWings relies on SchemELECT, our electrical CAD software. This tool enables them to design the electrical diagrams needed to manage the cabinets that control their propulsion systems. Thanks to SchemELECT, OceanWings can guarantee accurate and reliable electrical studies of these essential components, in compliance with the rigorous standards of the maritime sector.
The use of SchemELECT at OceanWings
According to Camille M., manager of the mechatronics team at OceanWings: ‘We use SchemELECT to draw up the electrical diagrams for the boxes used to control our OceanWings. This software helps us to guarantee the precision that is essential for very complex projects.
The electrical panels are at the heart of OceanWings’ technical innovation. They control the semi-rigid and rigid wings, guaranteeing their performance and adaptability to sailing conditions. Their design requires detailed electrical plans, adapted to each technical specification. SchemELECT is the ideal tool for meeting these technical challenges.
By integrating SchemELECT, OceanWings has gained in flexibility. The software allows them to quickly make the necessary adjustments to their schematics, responding to the specific needs of each project. This ability to adapt enhances the efficiency of their processes, while allowing them to concentrate on the development and ongoing optimisation of their solutions.
The concrete benefits of SchemELECT
Camille M. explains: ‘SchemELECT has enabled us to manage our electrical diagrams in-house, a real gain in efficiency and autonomy’.
Thanks to this integration, OceanWings has been able to streamline its processes, reducing its dependence on external service providers. This gives them greater control over deadlines and costs, while increasing their productivity and keeping their know-how in-house.
Comprehensive training and responsive support
The initial training, provided by FTZ experts, was a real highlight.
The training provided by FTZ enabled the team to quickly integrate SchemELECT and use it effectively in day-to-day projects.
Camille M. comments: ‘The training was clear and accessible, and perfectly adapted to our needs. It enabled us to get to grips with SchemELECT quickly.
FTZ’s technical support also played a key role in OceanWings‘ successful adoption of the software.
‘Available, responsive and always clear’, it enabled OceanWings to efficiently resolve the few points that needed further investigation and to ask more complex technical questions. This support boosted the team’s confidence in using the software.
An unqualified recommendation
OceanWings has no hesitation in recommending SchemELECT to other companies looking to optimise their electrical design processes. It has enabled them to meet the high demands of their projects, while providing a reliable solution tailored to their needs.
‘Yes, we would recommend SchemELECT. It meets our expectations perfectly, and the FTZ support is a real plus,’ concludes the OceanWings team.
Conclusion
Thanks to SchemELECT, OceanWings now has a powerful, intuitive tool that is transforming their internal processes and boosting their efficiency. This case study illustrates how a tailored solution can support innovative companies, even in technically demanding sectors such as marine propulsion.
