Duration:
24 Months
Deliverables/Benefits/ROI
- Implement a Digital Tapestry with full traceability of configuration managed product structure throughout the product.
- Realize a Digital Twin as a direct representation of a specific revision of product data for a vessel. This provides a significant asset for competitive bidding on post ship delivery service contracts.
This proposal offers a staged approach to a shipbuilding OpenPLM implementation where project participants will evaluate technology and processes for integration with a 3D design tool. This initiative proposes an integrated PLM solution including requirements checking and knowledge provisioning.
