Performance management - Yes, but how?

摘要

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time - This could be the motto for HullPIC 2020 - the 5 th Hull Performance & Insight Conference. Initially thought of as a possibly once-off event in the wake of the ISO 19030 working group, the conference gathers more and more momentum every year. And while performance can only be judged in hindsight, insight can already be gathered based on the papers and registered participants: Indeed, they keep coming (together) -people, companies and technologies. The number of ship operators attending will reach a new record this year. We also see increasingly »joint ventures« in presentations, performance monitoring service providers with ship owners, Artificial Intelligence start-ups with paint manufacturers, etc. Last but not least, we see new combinations of technologies coming together in hull management applications: advanced simulations to get baselines from CFD (»numerical towing tanks«), Big Data mined by Artificial Intelligence, smart sensors and robotics. The recipe for success seems to lie in smart alliances. Combine and conquer.
