CAPITAL PROJECT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (CPLM) VS. PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (PLM)FOR SHIPBUILDING, MARINE AND OFFSHORE INDUSTRIES

摘要

The SmartMarine Enterprise is a next-generation, cPLM designed solely for shipbuilding, marine and offshore structures. It is not a re-purposed, discrete manufacturing CAD/CAM/PLM solution, such as those currently available on the market;- Siemens/TeamCenter, DassaultSystemes/Enovia, AVEVA/OpenPLM (recently renamed AVEVA NET ), PTC/Windchill etc.. Intergraph is the only vendor that offers a cPLM system based on the concepts described in this document which better fit the shipbuilding/marine industry. SmartMarine Enterprise is totally data-centric, where the deliverables are reports/renderings of the database. It is open by design and provides the aforementioned cPLM characteristics;- Data sharing, Managed Inconsistency, Topological networks, Integrated disciplines and Configuration Management for Derivatives. The unique Smart3D technology, used for the physical configuration of the ship, is multi-discipline and performed against a single database with no limitations in terms of numbers of objects or numbers of concurrent users (sees Data-centric vs File/Part centric above). It provides 'Rule Based Automation' (based on a patented 'associativity' methodology) that is able to boost the design-to-production process by capturing and utilizing Industry Standards and Company specific know-how. Global Workshare further opens Smart3D to accommodate remote and partner collaborative ship development. SmartMarine Enterprise integration, such as between functional (2D) and topological (3D) applications (e.g. schematic P&ID with 3D outfitting arrangement), manages and promotes consistency during design, not the 'check afterwards' required by non-integrated systems. Similarly application and data integration with major applications such as Nesting, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and scheduling position SmartMarine Enterprise as the 'next-generation' cPLM for shipbuilding, marine and offshore industries.
