IMPROVING SUPERYACHTS DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES WITH AN INTEGRATED SOLUTION OF PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (PLM)

摘要

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is helping the yachts Industry to improve projects development and production, from project requirements management, preliminary design to detailed engineering and manufacturing documentation of structure, systems and interiors. By implementing 3D digital mock-ups and PLM, shipyards can accelerate the introduction of new designs and technologies, enabling to make right the first time. It is possible to have a permanent access to the project information in a virtual 3D universe making easy to check and validate the impacts of a modification on the entire project. This 3D digital mock-up, initiated at the first stage with the naval architecture work, is becoming progressively more and more detailed, showing all the components in a virtual assembly where most of the interferences and coordination problems are solved earlier.
