Industrial companies are sitting on a goldmine of data - but much of it is locked away in PDFs, legacy drawings, and unstructured documents. What if that data could be transformed into intelligent, connected information that fuels digital twins, simulation, and AI?

In this episode of the Data-driven Engineering, we dive into the challenge of turning decades of legacy engineering material into structured, semantic data that both humans and systems can truly understand.

Mikko Yllikäinen (VP, Product Creation at Cadmatic) is joined by Antti Villberg from Semantum to discuss:

• Why so much valuable engineering data gets “lost” in document handovers
• The role of semantic data models and knowledge graphs in making information machine-readable
• How legacy P&IDs, PDFs, and even laser scans can be converted into intelligent models
• Real-world examples
• How standards like ISO 15926 and OPC UA enable interoperability and plug-and-play integration
• Why structured data is the foundation for successful AI in industrial environments

The key takeaway? Data alone isn’t enough. When data becomes meaningful, connected, and standardized, it unlocks innovation, smarter collaboration, and entirely new possibilities for the future of engineering.

Recorded at the WorkBoat Show 2025, this conversation brings together Seaspan and Cadmatic to share a five-year journey of digital implementation. The discussion covers large-scale coast guard and Navy programs, the move to an object-based model, and how one shared CADMATIC model supports design, planning, and production from day one. A practical look at building a digital thread that helps teams work in sync and create multiple deliverables from a single source of data.

Electrical design data often lives in too many places. Schematics in one system, equipment data in another, and changes tracked manually in between. The result is extra work, version confusion, and costly mistakes.

In this Product Insights episode, we look at how CADMATIC Electrical helps engineering teams overcome data fragmentation by connecting schematics, equipment, and project data into one consistent design flow. You’ll hear from our specialists Antto Heino and Niko Liimatainen how a unified data model supports smoother engineering, fewer handovers, and more confidence across design and project phases.

If you work with electrical design in complex projects and want cleaner data flow and fewer surprises, this episode is for you.

Downtime can cost €100,000 per hour. When an alert hits, there is no time for hunting documents, searching drawings, or figuring out where the asset is.

Maintenance does not fail because teams do not know what to do. It fails because information is hard to find in time.

In this episode, we discuss how 3D visualization and predictive asset management help teams locate assets faster, reduce downtime, and improve safety and planning.

From IBM Maximo and AI-powered condition monitoring to digital twins and mobile workflows - this is the future of maintenance.

What if AI felt less like a tool and more like a colleague?This episode dives into the real, practical ways AI is reshaping engineering work today. We talk with Madalina Florean, Director of AI at Cadmatic, about the shift from manual, menu-heavy workflows toward AI-powered intent-driven design. We cover how AI agents can:surface the right information across scattered systemsautomate rule-based model validation (ISO, ASME, API and more)speed up catalog and library managementsupport engineers inside the tools they already use - even during Teams meetings The big idea: AI isn’t replacing engineers. It’s removing the boring stuff so creativity can finally breathe again.

Still think digital twins are too complex or costly? Think again.In this episode, Cadmatic and Elomatic experts show how any plant — even without a 3D model — can build a digital twin in just a few simple steps.

From laser scanning to AI-driven modeling and integration with existing systems, we’ll reveal how you can:

✅ Find equipment fast

✅ Cut downtime

✅ Make maintenance visual and effortless

It’s your shortcut to a safer, smarter, and more connected plant.

In this podcast episode, we take you on the journey of designing a vessel from the ground up with Oleksandr Zherebetskyi and Vitalii Vyshnevskyi from C-Job Nikolayev. What starts as a blank screen becomes a fully realized ship – thanks to the right methods, tools, and decisions made at the right time.

Key topics in this episode:

• How the design process kicks off – from the project passport to first plates and stiffeners
• Major outfitting decisions and why early changes can make or break a project
• What happens when your engine room plans change halfway through
• The evolving role of Cadmatic in 3D modeling and point cloud integration
• Why seeing the real vessel still gives the team goosebumps
