Using STEP and XML Standard to Construct Collaborative Information Integration Framework in Environment of Shipyard

摘要

Recently, CSBC face to the keen competition of an international market. The purchasing of material in the shipyard is a small count and variety. So, we must computerize to manage the design data according to the design, manufacturing drawings and bills of material are identical and keep the data source are correctness. But, the inside of shipyard and the suppliers always have many independent systems, different program languages and data bases. Therefore different system can communicate each other must via the switch of different formats. But it often make the communication are inconvenient and lower shipyards competitiveness. By using XML Web Services technology and standard of industry, we can integrate various systems in different operation platform quickly and different program languages can communicate each other via XML Web Services. Further using Collaborative management to integrate the enterprise and relative suppliers and manage product in the produce life cycle thus, inside we can quickly access and use these product information about purchasing, manufacturing, transportation. As to the outside, we develop the business mode's extension with suppliers according to the integration of joint production and information systems. Therefore, using Collaborative concept and XML Web Services to integrate R&D, material, production etc information systems. Because these system can combine we can close together the source of purchasing are correctness and quality of material according to reduce the time of communication with suppliers. Furthermore, it make different systems exchange information and communicate based on the standard via XML Web Services. By using HTTP and TCP/IP, make orders information and purchasing documents transform to related departments in shipyard inside with XML formats quickly without limits. To expect integrating the environment in shipyard and the marine industry. For reaching the final resolve of increasing efficiency and improve shipyards competitiveness.
