Finnish shipbuilding company adopts IFS Cloud to improve project visibility, shorten construction times, and strengthen overall control of naval vessel and icebreaker programs.
April 28, 2026, London, UK – IFS, a leading provider of industrial AI software, announced today that Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC), a Finnish shipbuilding company that delivers advanced vessels to customers worldwide, has adopted “IFS Cloud” to modernize its digital foundation and strengthen overall control of its shipbuilding programs.
Based in Rauma, Finland, RMC is one of the few shipyards globally capable of building icebreakers and advanced naval vessels. The company is currently constructing two icebreakers for the U.S. Coast Guard and four Pohjanmaa-class multi-purpose corvettes for the Finnish Navy. These vessels boast the highest standards of performance among those operating in the region. By implementing IFS Cloud, RMC will establish a digital foundation for standardizing operations and strengthening overall control across its shipbuilding projects, addressing icebreaker construction and looking ahead to future vessel builds.
Shipbuilding projects involve thousands of components, numerous collaborating companies, and continuous design changes over several years. IFS Cloud will integrate project management, procurement, production, logistics, commissioning, and financial management into a single platform for current and future shipbuilding programs.
Further reinforcing RMC's commitment to delivering vessels of exceptional quality, the platform will significantly enhance RMC's visibility into project progress, supplier delivery commitments, material logistics, and cost forecasts. By integrating operational and financial data within a single system, it will accelerate decision-making during project execution and strengthen control over long-term programs. Furthermore, it will enable early detection of deviations from plans, improve forecast accuracy, and enhance lifecycle traceability for vessels delivered to civilian and defense customers.
Heikki Helen, ICT Manager at RMC, stated:
“With IFS Cloud, we can grasp production challenges in real-time, delve into their causes, and manage projects more proactively. Our goal is to shorten vessel construction times, which significantly impacts productivity and competitiveness, and IFS Cloud will help us achieve that.”
Mattias Bolander, Managing Director for the Nordics at IFS, commented:
“Shipbuilding is one of the most complex project-based environments in the world. RMC combines deep Finnish expertise in icebreaker construction with ambitious growth plans in military and commercial shipbuilding sectors. With IFS Cloud and its embedded industrial AI capabilities roadmap, RMC gains a digital platform designed for asset-intensive and project-intensive industries. This enables enhanced operational transparency, more accurate forecasting, and proactive risk management across complex shipbuilding programs.”
