As the global maritime industry faces ever-growing capacity demands, Pemamek’s Smart Yard Summit 2025 showcased what efficient and modern shipbuilding looks like.
The event, organized on the 8th of October 2025, at Pemamek Headquarters in Finland, brought together shipyard decision-makers from 18 countries. The one-day summit featured keynote speakers from global maritime leaders, such as Navantia UK, Aker Arctic, Lincoln Electric, HGG Profiling, Microstep, and Pemamek.
At the core of a future-proof shipyard is high-capacity, smart automation. During the second half of the event, participants toured Pemamek’s manufacturing facilities, experiencing an extensive selection of live PEMA shipyard automation demonstrations. Equipment such as a one-sided welding station for panels, a four-robot welding station, and a high-capacity edge-beveling station illustrated the impact of consistent and efficient production methods.
”Combining automation with intelligent software is the cornerstone of a truly smart yard. Our solutions not only streamline production but also provide shipyards with the data and control needed to make operations more agile and future-ready. PEMA shipbuilding solutions enable shipbuilders stay competitive, ensuring they can meet global demand while investing in long-term growth,” says Jukka Rantala, Vice President & Key Accounts at Pemamek.
By combining high-technology automation, advanced software, and deep industry expertise, Pemamek continues to empower shipyards worldwide to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and competitiveness.
