Enhance communication from design through production
Shipbuilders design for production and rely on suppliers more
than ever for technical expertise and delivery of major subsystems.
As shipyards outsource more tasks, tight delivery schedules
allow very little room for slippage. Structural systems, onboard
systems and outfitting today are far more complex and interdependent
than before, and the risk for miscommunication of design requirements
or changes is high.
Increased collaboration with suppliers, classification societies
and owner/operators calls for exchange of both 2D and 3D information
in a secure environment. IBM can help you develop innovative
business processes to improve collaboration and build efficiencies.
We can show you how to capture and reuse proven methodologies
and configurations to leverage expertise and skill inside and
outside your company to improve quality and deliver ships on
time and on budget.
The right PLM tools can help you improve collaboration and enhance
innovation with detailed designs. Develop advanced designs for
cruise ships that feature unique entertainment content and creative
layouts for competitive advantage. Construct innovative designs
for navy ships that address new security missions with less
crew to operate the ship—and lower lifecycle operations
and maintenance costs. Deliver innovative ships on time and
on budget with PLM tools that integrate 2D and 3D design data,
and allow for digital manufacturing and simulation.
Our PLM infrastructure can integrate engineering applications
and manufacturing data both internally and with your design
partners, suppliers, dealers and service providers to help alleviate
the possibilities of miscommunication throughout the complex
build process. Access and collaborate on product designs, and
link to intelligent catalogs to optimise component choice. IBM's
open and scalable PLM infrastructure provides a foundation for
integrated collaborative design and production.
