AKVA provides customers with the tools to farm fish using cost effective sustainable methods

Norway’s global aquaculture enterprise Akva Group is to integrate Dassault Systèmes Enovia solution with its existing Microsoft Dynamics AX solution.

The Enovia technology from global 3D and product lifecycle management (PLM) solution provider Dassault Systèmes will enable Akva to synchronise collaborative business practices, business management and expansion across its worldwide facilities.

Implemented by Technia, Dassault Systèmes’ Norwegian business partner, Akva will deploy several Enovia products including Designer, Engineering and Program Centrals to manage key business processes, including materials compliance and global Internet protocol (IP) management. These PLM functionalities in conjunction with Akva’s installed mechanical design system SolidWorks and the Group’s Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP system will operate on Microsoft SQL Server.

Newly acquired businesses will speedily accord with Akva compliance standards following the introduction of Enovia methodologies

Jone Gjerde, Akva Group  “Enovia PLM provides an enterprise wide collaboration platform for our global business and research and development resource, allowing developers from all over the world to work together within a single unified repository for IP retention, change management, quality and release processes,” said Akva Group chief operating officer Jone Gjerde. “Newly acquired businesses will speedily accord with Akva compliance standards following the introduction of Enovia methodologies.”

Gjerde concluded: “The benefit to Akva of Enovia PLM, coupled with Microsoft ERP technology is that it facilitates seamless unification and synchronicity with common business standards across our expanding global enterprise. This positions Akva to capitalise on the increasing demand for aquaculture and fish farms while being extremely efficiently organised and informed.”
