SEE System Design
Reimagine the way you design, collaborate, and deliver multi-discipline engineering projects.
Overview
SEE System Design is a data-centric concurrent engineering software dedicated to the design and documentation of functional studies, fluid and electrical schematics, and associated technical data flows. This solution provides a robust platform for digital continuity, practical usability and progressive evolution. With an adaptable framework that integrates with existing methods, SEE System Design evolves over time and enables long-term team adoption and cross-discipline exchanges.
SEE System Design brings full digital continuity to the engineering process by enabling multi-discipline teams to work simultaneously on a single, shared, data-driven platform.
The solution is specifically tailored for the design and documentation of functional and system architecture using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach, integrating process engineering with PFDs and P&IDs, as well as electrical engineering with single-line diagrams, cabling, and synoptic diagrams.
SEE System Design addresses the challenges faced by large organizations struggling with fragmented workflows, lack of data sharing, and limited interoperability between tools. By leveraging a data-centric and collaborative approach, the solution improves overall efficiency, reduces design errors, and accelerates time-to-market.
