The objective of the project is to demonstrate that practical, affordable, andreusable software components can be used to create an affordable, real-time production monitoring and controlsystem for U.S. shipyards. Atlantec and National Steel and Shipbuildng will develop,test, and demonstrate two… More

"The objective of our proposal is to demonstrate that a practical and affordable connector architecture can be developed to provide interoperability between leading CAD and CAM systems used in shipbuilding. The connector architecture will use available open source and Internet technology to create a… More

The objective of this proposal is to build a practical, cost-effective and highly flexible parts library catalog system for commercial shipyards.The proposed catalog systems will complement typical medium to small shipyard IT infrastructures and will enable these shipyards to implement and benefit… More

The objective of this project is to create a commercialized version of a Common Parts Catalog (CPC) Information Management System that is practical, highly flexible and cost-effective for small and medium sized (second tier) shipyards. The CPC Information Management System will interface with a… More

The objective of this project is to demonstrate with Marinette Marine (a Manitowoc Company) and Bollinger Shipyards, the shipyards of the Lockheed-Martin LCS project team, that their design software of choice, ShipConstructor (from Albacore Research Ltd.) can, through a middleware developed as part… More

The objective of this proposal is to build a cost-effective and flexible paint planning and estimating system to enhance the surface coating processes of U.S. shipyards. Utilizing parts and product information from the shipyards product model environment, the proposed paint planning system will… More

The Common Parts Catalog Part Design Class will be a system neutral solution offering an internet accessible part design database that can be used with any one of the Common Parts Catalog solutions currently being offered to the shipbuilding community. Atlantec-es proposes to develop the taxonomy,… More

The Common Parts Catalog Part Design Class will be a platform-independent solution offering an internet accessible part design database that can be used with any one of the Common Parts Catalog solutions currently being offered to the shipbuilding community. Atlantec-es proposes to develop the… More

First Marine International, in their latest benchmarking study of the global shipbuilding industry, identified production preparation as one of the key items preventing U.S. shipbuilders from reaching world quality status. These problems are partially caused by a lack of standardized tools to… More

One of the most significant challenges facing the Defense Industry today is the lack of interoperability between software applications. Weapons systems data is voluminous, complex, and distributed across many disparate applications. Typically, only a few of these applications are truly integrated… More

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) can help U.S. shipyards reduce cost and schedule risks. A major barrier to employing DES in shipyards is the overwhelming task of modeling production facilities and work content. Another obstacle is large data volumes generated for shipbuilding can seriously degrade… More
