Designer and manufacturer of innovative systems for the boating industry

Your boating project, 
our expertise in bespoke systems

Every marine project presents its own specific technical, architectural, aesthetic and functional challenges. To meet these challenges, NOVAL Marine Systems designs and manufactures tailor-made solutions, perfectly suited to the layout of each boat and the demands of boating.

Our design office develops high-performance, functional equipment and systems designed to integrate seamlessly on board vessels. From requirements analysis right through to mass production, we work alongside our partners to transform an idea, a requirement or a technical challenge into practical, reliable and sustainable solutions.

Whether it involves adapting existing equipment, designing a movement or opening mechanism, optimising space on board or developing an entirely new solution, our teams work closely with boat builders, equipment manufacturers, architects and professionals in the boating industry.

A global and pragmatic approach

Bring your marine projects to life with the expertise of NOVAL Marine Systems. From the initial idea through to mass production, we support you at every stage to design high-performance, integrated systems tailored to your needs.
From standard products to fully customised systems, we turn your challenges into practical solutions to enhance comfort, safety and the on-board experience.

The first step is to define a design strategy. We analyse the context and the expected functions in order to draw up a technical and financial feasibility study. This ideation phase enables us to establish a proof of concept and identify the resources and development time required.

In this context, NOVAL Marine Systems is committed to working in a strict confidentiality of the projects entrusted to us. Our teams rely on over twenty years' experience in drive systems, as well as a portfolio of patents and proven technical solutions. This expertise often enables us to reuse certain technological building blocks or components from our catalogue, to accelerate development and reduce costs.

We are also working to put in place a balanced contractual framework, with commitments tailored to the project, so that the collaboration remains fair and sustainable for all parties.

Finally, thanks to our purchasing volumes from strategic suppliers, With this approach, we are able to offer optimised pricing conditions for each project. This approach enables us to offer solutions innovative, industrialisable and economically competitive.

Next comes the product development, from prototype to production preparation. The Project management on the NOVAL Marine Systems side is therefore handled by an engineer from our design office.  In coordination with management, he/she manages the teams electronics and software developers dedicated.

Our teams apply a proven methodology that includes design to cost, sourcing and integration of actuators, design of electronic diagrams and routing, as well as kinematic validation.

Development is carried out with regular exchanges with the customer to adjust technical and financial choices. To speed up development, we use several 3D printing technologies (wire deposition and sintering). Depending on requirements, we can go through stages of simulations, calculation notes or other mechanical, electronic, EMC and software tests.

Our buyers and suppliers are supported by a network of responsive local and international suppliers.

All these resources are part of the dynamic of the ERMIC TECHNOLOGIES Group which invests every year 5 to 6 M€ in research and development.

The third stage is industrialisation. It consists of transforming the product developed into a solution reliable, reproducible and ready for series production.

This phase includes drafting of technical files (leaflets, documentation, labels with QR codes, etc.), the structuring nomenclatures, as well as managing and securing supplies. Our teams also define the assembly procedures, In addition, the company is responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of the necessary tools and the organisation of production workstations to ensure efficient, consistent production over time.

The introduction of assembly lines is accompanied by the operator training, to guarantee product quality and reproducibility. Depending on the project, Noval teams can also be involved in train the customer's teams, assist with production start-up or provide on-site support during the first series.

During this phase, Noval remains particularly listening to feedback, This enables the processes to be adjusted if necessary and the reliability, maintainability and industrial performance of the product to be optimised.

Finally, NOVAL Marine Systems provides the product lifecycle management to guarantee its reliability and durability over time.

This phase includes production monitoring, control of level of quality, and the ongoing optimisation of manufacturing processes and product performance. Our teams remain committed to supporting technical developments and adapt solutions if necessary.

The engineers also provide technology and industry watch to identify relevant innovations and opportunities for improvement. At the same time, the’changes in the cost of components and supplies is being closely monitored in order to continue optimise product costing throughout its life.

NOVAL Marine Systems finally provides the maintenance support as contractually agreed, spare parts management and technical support for partners and installers, in order to guarantee the highest level of customer satisfaction. reparability, sustainability and continuous improvement solutions.
