Present situation and development trend of intelligent manufacturing technology of ship

The traditional manufacturing industry is confined to the predicament of high cost, weak competitiveness, low cooperation efficiency and slow demand response, while intelligent manufacturing technology provides a historic opportunity for the manufacturing industry to realize leapfrog development. With the help of advanced intelligent manufacturing technology, the whole life cycle of traditional manufacturing activities consists of intelligent production, intelligent products and intelligent services. Among them, intelligent production includes optimizing resource allocation and advanced supply chain planning, extending the application scope of information technology, and realizing flexible production scheduling, scheduling and control. Intelligent product is the value carrier of intelligent manufacturing, representing the result of applying artificial intelligence technology to product equipment. It can refer to the productization of intelligent technology, such as data analysis system; It can also refer to the intelligence of traditional products, such as automated welding robots. Intelligent service refers to people-oriented, providing personalized, customized and standardized services for customers and employees, which can be extended to develop service-oriented manufacturing and producer services. At the same time, intelligent production is the cornerstone of intelligent products and services.

Ship manufacturing industry is a labor - and capital-intensive discrete manufacturing industry, whose processing objects are characterized by multiple varieties and variable batch (large and small batch coexist). However, the current industrial intelligent development mode has some problems, such as lack of standards and norms, weak supporting capacity of core equipment, and lack of green production technology. Shipbuilding technology has experienced a development process from the first and second generation of traditional shipbuilding model oriented by "system" and "region" to the third and fourth generation of modern shipbuilding model using group and information technology. Under the innovation of science and technology, the fifth generation shipbuilding model with intelligent manufacturing technology as the core emerges at the historic moment, and ship construction enterprises gradually develop from digital factories to intelligent factories and intelligent manufacturing.

Intelligent Marine manufacturing technology is a collection of new-generation information technologies. It runs through all links of manufacturing activities such as design, production, management and service by perceiving people, things, environment and information, and can manage and transform the whole elements, process and industry chain of manufacturing. For example, in the design and development of intelligent green ships and offshore engineering platforms, carry out the research and development of various kinds of sea-related special materials, ship intelligent system design and on-board intelligent electronic equipment localization, and other aspects are required to apply the ship intelligent manufacturing technology.
