Summary
This study introduces an objective, IoT-based system for measuring shipyard progress, moving beyond manager
Area of Science:
- Industrial Engineering
- Manufacturing Systems
- Maritime Technology
Background:
- Shipyard project management relies heavily on subjective manager judgment, leading to delivery delays and increased production costs.
- Current progress control methods in shipyards lack objectivity, hindering efficient project execution and cost management.
- Empirical decision-making in shipyard progress management contributes to significant financial and time-related inefficiencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an objective methodology for measuring process progress in shipyard ship block assembly plants.
- To enable automated, real-time work performance data collection, reducing reliance on subjective managerial assessments.
- To enhance accuracy in progress tracking for mounting and welding activities within ship block assembly.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based physical progress measurement system for automated data acquisition.
- Utilization of an augmented reality (AR) marker-based image analysis system for monitoring mounting activities.
- Development of a machine learning model analyzing welding machine time-series data to assess welding performance.
Main Results:
- The proposed IoT-based method provides objective, real-time work performance data for ship block assembly.
- The integrated AR and machine learning models accurately measure progress in mounting and welding tasks.
- Validation of the methodology at Shipyard H demonstrates its practical applicability and effectiveness in improving progress measurement.
Conclusions:
- The developed methodology offers a significant improvement over traditional empirical judgment in shipyard progress control.
- Objective, data-driven progress measurement enhances efficiency and accuracy in ship block assembly operations.
- This approach has the potential to reduce delivery delays and mitigate associated production cost increases in shipbuilding.
