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.
