In this podcast episode, we talk with Paul Empringham from Enable ITAM and Maurits Schmidt, Strategic Transformation Director at Cadmatic, about how engineering software licensing has shifted over the past decade and where it is heading. Paul brings an independent view from his work helping engineering companies optimize and rationalize their licenses across sectors. Maurits shares the thinking behind Cadmatic's new primary subscription licensing model, Cadmatic One License, and how it was designed to match the way engineering teams actually work.
Key topics in this episode:
The perpetual licensing era: concurrent pools, the two-thirds rule, and why niche modules were always a utilization problem.The subscription shift: from CapEx to OpEx, the rise of bundles and named users, and where the friction came from.Why consumption and credit-based token models did not fully solve the problem, and what a returnable token pool does differently.How the Cadmatic project lifecycle – with hull design, outfitting, and information management peaking at different phases – shaped the COL model.What a low-risk transition to Cadmatic One License looks like for existing customers, including hybrid options and maintenance license credits.Where licensing in industrial software is heading, and what customers on maintenance licenses should do first if they are curious about COL. -
In this podcast episode, we talk with Niels de Vries from C-Job Naval Architects and Abigail Jablansky, Head of Projects at Amogy, about how they retrofitted a tugboat to run on ammonia, taking it all the way from concept design to commissioning on a public waterway. They share how a first-of-a-kind technology, tight space constraints, and a parallel development process shaped every decision, and how Cadmatic kept engineering teams aligned throughout.
Key topics in this episode:
How Amogy's ammonia-to-power system works and why ammonia is a promising zero-carbon fuel for maritime applications.What made this retrofit different: new technology, no prescriptive rules, and a product still in development during design.How 3D scanning at multiple project stages defined the design basis and unlocked space for integration.How the 3D model kept C-Job, Amogy, the shipyard, and remote engineers coordinated throughout the project.Key lessons from delivering a first-of-a-kind project, and what comes next for Amogy. -

In this podcast episode, we talk with Ștefan Carpov and Alexandru Pazargic from GLO Marine about how a full engine room modernization project was delivered from 3D scanning to sea trials. They share how a clean-slate approach, combined with accurate data and strong coordination, supports complex retrofit work on aging vessels.
Key topics in this episode:
How 3D scanning before and after stripping supports accurate design decisionsDesigning a fully modernized engine room, not just replacing equipmentUsing CADMATIC for 3D modeling, point cloud handling, and production drawingsCoordinating multiple disciplines using shared data and clear documentationManaging installation challenges in tight spaces and retrofit conditions -
In this podcast episode, we talk with Przemysław Górski at Górski CAD Solutions about why software administration has a direct impact on how fast and reliably you can deliver ship design.
With more than 15 years of experience supporting shipyards and design offices across Europe, he shares what a well-configured Cadmatic environment looks like and what it changes for everyday work.
Key topics in this episode:
How setup, libraries, templates, and rules help designers work fasterHow better configuration improves drawing quality and reduces errorsKeeping 3D models and documentation in sync from design to productionUsing automation to support consistency across teams and suppliersPreventing issues that usually show up late during production or installation -
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 handoversThe role of semantic data models and knowledge graphs in making information machine-readableHow legacy P&IDs, PDFs, and even laser scans can be converted into intelligent modelsReal-world examplesHow standards like ISO 15926 and OPC UA enable interoperability and plug-and-play integrationWhy structured data is the foundation for successful AI in industrial environmentsThe 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.
