Product development and Design

Product development and design comes about from consultation with the customer.

Only once YEP have established the customer’s requirements and scope of supply

YEP will make some recommendations.

Before each project we make a list of requirements in close cooperation with

the customer.

The ‘what works in practice’ based knowledge of YEP results in practical

solutions for complicated questions and therefore easy to built products.

YEP uses newest 3D software. Before production we can show 3D models of

the product and we can present moving presentations to the customer and

end-user.

We are constantly reviewing all developments in the market therefore we can

advice on the use of the newest techniques and material.

The quality of our designs and products are developed at least according to

the Lloyd´s demands for equivalent products. We also arrange approvals by

the classification offices like Lloyd’s, Norske Veritas, ABS and Germanischer

Lloyd.

Engineering

By using the latest 3D software we show the customer and end-user clear

construction visualizations and moving presentations before production.

YEP works with detailed drawings. Hydraulic hosing and electric wiring are

incorporated entirely in the design including the assembly points and connections

(see picture below). This reduces the production costs by shortening the time to

market at production and assembly.

Before production starts critical components are analyzed with the use of the most

sophisticated finite elements software. Because of this we save weight without losing

sufficient stiffness and stability. In the modeling phase our calculations are based as

a minimum on meeting or exceeding the specification of the demands made by

Lloyd´s.

Our design software provides 3D files which can be shared directly with the most

sophisticated cutting and machining equipment, This shortens the set-up time and

therefore it saves costs by shortening the time to market.

Engineering example

Hatlapa Duopac steering gear

Development and design of a new compact plug and play steering unit.

This unit is designed for a rudder torque between 40kNm and 220kNm.

For the first units YEP also did the project management and realization including the

full type approval by Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd.

Project management

Conducted by a tightly directed project management team, YEP ensures a fast and

efficient project. Foremost is the program of requirements, established in consultation

with the customer.

YEP:

Has detailed knowledge of the possibilities and problems in all the production

processes.

Uses a trusted network of high standard, specialized subcontractors.

Identifies at an early stage possible sticking points through our own practical

experience in all the processes. By using a pro active approach YEP can spot

potential problems before they occur in production eliminating additional

time and cost.

Compact overhead beam crane

On multiple requests we designed a stainless beam crane (weight ± 350KG) which

would take a very small height for mounting. Beam thickness 92mm, required

mounting height 108mm and from ceiling to hook in highest position 155mm. All main

characteristics may be changed according to clients wishes. Contact us for more

details.

Chain compressors

YEP bv delivers stainless chain stoppers and

compressors. For the compressors we design

the custom foundations according the deck

shape, chain pipes and regarding the

customers special design requests.

Chains and anchors

German made, calibrated, certified

anchors and chain.

Cleats, hand and foot rail

Our stainless cleats are available as investment casted version or fully 3D machined

from massive stainless. (We deliver common models to) On special request we also

deliver machined titanium cleats. Due to requests from the marked since 2011 also

as anodized aluminium The benefits of the 3D machining are guaranteed clean

material without chance of casting faults, rust and a very straight and smooth

surface after polishing. Since 2011 also as anodized aluminium.

It is also possible to create your own special designed cleats. (only 3D machined)

Advanced options like a weld plate, Tufnol isolation washers and seals are available.
