Digital and Collaborative Design for Ship Building

Presentation of how Aker Yards manage his IT project in order to build the next generation of tools to support collaborative design in extended enterprise. The main objectives are :

• Increasing productivity through the control of the process, the preparation of work (store the know-how for best design
• Reducing non-value added tasks (delete / automation), for control design
• Optimizing the trade between AYFr and its network of sub contractors

3D measuring application industrialisation from the aircraft digital mockup

In the aeronautic field, the measurement application industrialisation follows four steps:

• The aircraft definition (digital mock-up with geometric, dimension and tolerance requirements)
• The choice of the measurement means (accuracy and job environment)
• The software(s)(means driver & measurement results treatment)
• The design of the tooling parts(measure devices and controlled sub-assembly reference)

The choice of the measurement means depends on the design office tolerances and the volume that must be measured.The next step is the tooling specification. For the software, Metrolog is currently used in Airbus Nantes. Finally, the lead time needed to industrialise a measurement application is about 12 months.

The role of visualisation, simulation and serious gaming in collective decision making.

Since three years, the department of Design, production and management of the University of Twente has been operating a large scale virtual reality lab. The lab is used for the development and testing of new design methods and tools. Under the national Innovative Research Program "Integrated Product Creation and Realization" several (multi-) PhD projects are carried out. In these projects in the field of Synthetic Environments for Scenario Based Design, Smart Synthesis Tools, Design for usability and Automatic Generation of Control Software for Mechatronic Systems. Apart from these applied fundamental research projects with active industry participation the lab is also used to commercially exploit the results of the research. In cooperation with the Thales company, the Technology Exchange Cell (T-Xchange) is moderating collective decision making sessions for clients from industry and government. The Keynote speach will elaborate on the individual projects and their relevance for the progress of fundamental design oriented research. Also some typical examples of Effect Based Solution (EBS) sessions of T-Xchange will be discussed.
