System Integration

System integration is the invisible engine that connects technologies, processes, and people, transforming complexity into value.

This is where the Group’s industrial vision comes to life: to be not only shipbuilders, but architects of integrated, sustainable, and resilient technological ecosystems.

ORIZZONTE NAVAL SYSTEMS
In 2024, the strengthening of system integration expertise was one of the main pillars of the Industrial Plan. In particular, the role of Orizzonte Naval Systems was enhanced as a center of excellence for transforming operational requirements into technical ship architectures (Whole Warship), in line with the models adopted by leading European shipbuilders.
OUR PRODUCTION MODEL
Our production model is structured to operate as an integrated system that enhances internal and external expertise, technologies, and production capabilities. This approach enables the management of highly complex projects, ensuring interoperability, scalability, and security throughout the entire system lifecycle: from design and construction to in-service support and predictive maintenance.

System integration also extends to risk management, thanks to an advanced model of Enterprise and Project Risk Management (ERM-PRM), which integrates key risk indicators (KRI), probabilistic assessments, and digital tools for the continuous monitoring of project performance.
WE HAVE THE EPC CONTRACTOR EXPERTISE
We possess uncommon project management, engineering, and construction expertise, developed in a complex sector such as shipbuilding. Fincantieri leverages best practices and applies them in industrial sectors beyond its core business, such as steel processing, oil & gas, and energy production.

Our operating model is highly integrated. The goal is to support clients throughout the entire product lifecycle, providing life-cycle management services.
