What’s the problem?

Designing the ships of tomorrow demands an ocean of information. But endless documents, including technical drawings, blueprints, regulatory compliance documents, and engineering reports, are hard to manage in physical form. Digital distractions can be a big challenge too.

Marking up large schematics by hand is slow, and sharing annotations causes delays and misunderstandings. And keeping track of all notes during live interactions with clients feels impossible.

7 out of 10 workers found existing note-taking tools didn’t capture and organize information easily

9 out of 12 found current tools to review, annotate, and sign documents inefficient.

The device: reMarkable Paper Pro.

One space for all notes and documents. Phew, designers can now annotate ship designs, schematics, and other documents precisely and directly onto their paper tablets. They can take handwritten notes easily and organize them during meetings, site visits, and design sessions without any interruptions. And these can be converted into typed text, ready for reports or emails that day.

“I was amazed at how easy it is to make a sketch by hand, and edit it quickly. I think it’s much quicker than doing it on paper. I enjoy making drawings like I did in the old days, but now they’re just in digital form.”

The results

Now, the right ideas are kept afloat. Being able to mark up PDFs made everything easier. Engineers and designers can happily concentrate on calculations and creative work without any app or message notifications distracting them. And with all their notes safely stored in one place, there were no more frantic searches to find important information. Not to mention all the paper that’s saved from storing documents digitally. A slim paper tablet design means shipyard visits, client meetings and team sessions happen anywhere too, as workers can slide the device into their bags and take it with them.

“reMarkable helps me focus on content, rather than getting caught up in formatting, which allows me to share ideas quickly and effectively.”
