The SINCRONE project aims to develop and validate, based on real-world cases, a secure digital platform that unifies 3D and temporal data for the performance of shipyards and nuclear power plants.

The SINCRONE project (Innovative Digital Services for Responsive and Optimized Shipyards in the Naval and Nuclear Sectors) represents a significant advance in the field of shipyard and nuclear power plant management and optimization. With an investment of €10.7 million over 42 months between 2023 and 2026, this collaborative project, part of the CORIMER 2023 call for expressions of interest, aims to revolutionize the way shipyards are run through the application of the most advanced digital technologies.

 

Use cutting-edge technologies

Through the "new materials and smart construction sites" axis and drawing on the latest innovations in digitalization, data, and Industry 5.0, the project aims to transform traditional information systems into data-centric infrastructures. This transformation will enable key industry players, such as Naval Group, TechnicAtome, and the EDF Group, to access reliable and reconciled data in real time, which is essential for monitoring the physical progress of projects.

The project focuses on major innovations such as real-time field visualization, 3D capture, and production scenario simulation for optimized construction site management. Thanks to these technologies, SINCRONE aims to solve the major challenges faced by shipyards and nuclear power plants by improving responsiveness, optimizing construction progress, and systematizing controls and inspections.

 

Promoting the expertise of French industry

SINCRONE is not limited to technical and operational improvements at shipyards; it also aims to strengthen the competitiveness of French industry on the international stage. By developing sovereign digital services, the project contributes to France's technological independence and sovereignty in the strategic sectors of naval and nuclear power. This project is not only a driver of technological progress but also a vector for ecological and economic transformation, positioning French industry at the forefront of construction solutions for the future.

The services developed as part of the project aim to:

  • Ensure data continuity to guarantee compliance of projects,
  • Establish reliable and consolidated physical progress indicators,
  • Improve worker safety by providing a shared and accurate understanding of the current status of construction sites.

     

Composition of the consortium

The SINCRONE consortium, bringing together major industrial players and academic partners, demonstrates a collective desire to innovate and build the future of shipbuilding and nuclear power plants. 

Led by Naval Group as the lead partner, this consortium brings together key players in French industry such as EDF, TechnicAtome, PrimaFrance, Assystem, andArts et Métiers, with the LISPEN laboratory, supported by its commercialization subsidiary AMValor, illustrating a unique cross-sector collaboration. 

Each member of the consortium brings its own distinct expertise, ranging from the design and integration of armed vessels, electricity production and supply, to compact nuclear reactor engineering, global project management consulting, advanced industrial engineering, and research focused on the Industry of the Future.
