Interoperability Problem

Communication between diverse computer systems is a big challenge in today’s environment:• As CAD/CAE/CAM systems have expanded in the U.S.

shipyards, interoperability among these systems has become a major issue

• Interoperability is an issue within a shipyard as well as between partnering yards and with the Customer

These problems are exacerbated because:• Most recent and future ship design and build contracts

involve multiple shipyards• Length of time to design and build a ship often exceeds the

life span of current computer systems• Requirements for life cycle support of the ship will far

exceed the life span of current computer systems

ISE Summary

ISE has successfully demonstrated the potential of standards based data exchange to LEAN design and construction processes for HVAC, moulded forms, structures and piping, Electrical, Ship Arrangements, Steel Processing, Analysis

Web site: http://www.isetools.org/ Two major challenges lie ahead of us:

• Commercialization of this technology• Continuing to prototype standards based data exchange

in other application areas such as product life cycle

Automatic Generation of Control Program for Robotic Welding

(AUTOGEN)

Automate the generation of robotic control programs directly from CAD data, weld process tables and production planning information

42

AUTOGEN

completed in 2003 efforts have continued under different funding

streams. Current effort focuses:

• industrially hardening the developmental code and populating the necessary data infrastructure toward production use

• The team is also adding an Operator Graphical User Interface (GUI) and documenting the individual use cases in support of intended commercial release of the software.

43

Ship Check Data Capture

Purpose• data collection of as-built ship

conditions in digital format using currently available (COTS) 3D laser scanners and digital cameras

Benefits• provides measurements of as-built

conditions, readily available, at any time as needed

• provides means to get accurate measurements of components, piping, etc. from ship’s lines

• provides cost savings compared to traditional ship checks

• eliminates return visits to ship for missed measurements

• minimizes measurement errors• minimizes rework at construction

Uses• take measurements of as-built

space elements directly from raw scans

• validate 3D CAD models to as-built data

• create solid 3D electronic models of the as-built space

• Archive the data captured for future use

Ship Check at Bender Shipyard

280 ft. Candies Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR) Vessel under construction at Bender was used for ship check (May 02 -05, 2006)

Ship checks were also conducted onboard the TWR841 and SSGN729 during the FY05 and FY06 NSRP Ship Check Projects

Ship Check Metrics (Cost/Time Savings)

Ship check data capture/post processing of Candies IMR Engine Room Bulkhead select components:• Realized Cost Savings = $3,079/$8,327 = 37%• Realized Time Savings = 46/118 = 39%

Cost savings is above the project goal of 30% Time savings is above the project goal of 35% Savings shown are only for first ship check and do not include

elimination of future ship checks for the same ship space Ship checks with the data capture technologies provides

additional cost/time savings by• Eliminating the need to go back to the ship for missed

measurements • Providing complete and accurate as-built space information

(more than the traditional ship check with tape measure), which in turn reduces construction costs and scrap, and saves refit time

50

Ship Check

Conclusions Take measurements from scan data

• Not intuitive, requires experience• Advocated by scanning software vendors

Validate 3D CAD models to as-built data• Overlay as-design CAD model onto point cloud to check

placement of components• Overlay new design model onto point cloud to check interferences

Create 3D as-built arrangements from the scan data• Use library parts to place on location in the scan• Cost effective

Create surface models for visualization and analysis • Cost effective

Create 3D as-built models of the entire space from the scan data • Create primitives (cylinders, cubes, etc.) from point cloud• Not cost effective at present• Manual effort (software vendors need to automate the process)

Reduced ship check costs: fewer days, fewer personnel Elimination of return visits to the ship for missed measurements Obtaining measurements which are difficult or unsafe for human reach

Shipyard Equipment Wireless Monitoring and Control

(WEMACS) Objective: integrate existing commercial

systems and newly developed technologies to provide a comprehensive solution for the monitoring, control and utilization analysis of shipyard material handling equipment.

Accomplishment: • Operator training re-examined, as expired/ unnecessary authorizations removed Automatic access control to equipment•Equipment start-up, safety and operational checklists redeÞ ned and reorganized for logic and relevance•Mimimized the effects of potential schedule delays as a result of unexpected equipment failure Geographical display of every material handling asset so availability, location and operating status can immediately be determined

Navy Product Data Initiative

WHY• High cost of Naval shipbuilding and the cost of making changes• Cost of Development, Implementation, and Maintenance of Integrated

Product Data Environments (IPDEs) -- Each new Program specifies different IPDE requirements

• Application and Data Architectures Limit Access, Interoperability, & Re-use NSRP assembled an industry planning team in response to a Navy

request to develop an Industry-wide approach to more effective Integrated Product Data Environments (IPDEs).

NPDI is a four-phased Navy/industry shipbuilding enterprise effort • Phase 0 defined the initiative. • Phase 1 was a five month planning effort to develop the IPDE specification

outline and Concept of Operations. • Phase 2 is approximately a one-year effort to

– develop the initial Navy IPDE specification to be invoked in future shipbuilding and ship repair contracts;

– develop a verification mechanism to measure specification compliance; and, – stakeholders planning for implementation.

• Phase 3 is the implementation phase Phase 0 and Phase 1 are complete. Phase 2 is in processs.

Mobile & Wireless Expansion of Shipyard Systems

Build a Web interface that would allow a shipyard supervisor to easily gain access to timekeeping information.

Benefits: • data easily accessible the other

benefits realized• reduction of time a Supervisor spends

on administrative tasks• elimination of data re-entry, • improved accuracy of data, timeliness

of data and reduction of paperwork.

63

Project Work Order System

Library based work order design, edit, and management system developed using Microsoft .NET technologies.

allows users to create documents/forms on the fly and away from the desk using tablet computers with handwriting and voice recognition.

This would allow for more timely and accurate document creation, as well as, immediate signature authorization.

allows users to create virtually any customer-specific forms (through the use of templates) and make them available to all users on the system.

possible to have a central repository for all forms/templates that a company uses.

Finally, the data retrieved from the forms could easily be integrated into any existing systems that can read an XML document allowing the seamless transfer of data between the systems and the ability for programmers to create validation logic for use in the system

Due to its flexibility and customizability, the system would help in automating the process of work order creation and execution.
