Digital ship construction offers a better way to manage the shipbuilding process. This approach relies on integrating the three core systems involved in ship construction: product lifecycle management (PLM), manufacturing operations management (MOM) and enterprise resource management (ERM). This ensures a closed loop between design and manufacturing, which minimizes risk and enables continuous improvement.
Adapt your ship construction process to today's increasingly complex and innovative designs.
Digital tools can help assess process and planning scenarios to ensure resources are optimized across the shipyard. (Fincantieri)
Integrate engineering, manufacturing and logistics in a single shared digital environment to drive efficiency across the entire enterprise. (Hyundai Heavy Industries)
Create a digital twin of the ship and the shipyard to improve efficiency and reduce the need for costly physical mock-ups. (Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering)
Maximize efficiency, decrease the cost of change and establish a connected process for continuous improvement. Transform your shipbuilding organization into an industry leader. Explore our solution paths to help create your digital shipyard.
Integrate your engineering, manufacturing and logistics processes through a centralized data backbone to share information seamlessly. Everyone can access up-to-date data in real time, leading to less time being wasted and fewer errors.
Focus on better manufacturing process planning and quality management by managing your manufacturing bill of materials (mBOM) and bill of process (BOP) in a single planning environment. This gives you the flexibility to improve manufacturing plans and enhance collaboration across the supply chain. By integrating quality management from the start, you can ensure you meet customer expectations and industry standards.
Manage your shipyard facilities with the help of digital technologies. Utilize a digital twin of the yard to optimize the layout and utilization, predict the return on investment of upgrades, and adopt innovative technologies, such as virtual reality and advanced robotics, more easily.
Data management solutions store all shipbuilding data in one place, allowing for better collaboration and reuse. (Hyundai Heavy Industries)
Use simulation in production planning to reduce development costs and the risks associated with missed delivery dates. (Fincantieri)
Create a single source of truth so engineers can access up-to-date design data. (Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering)
