Digital Asset Approach for Shipbuilding Decision Support

This whitepaper discusses the Digital Asset approach in shipbuilding and how it enhances decision-making processes through effective management of engineering information. It outlines the traditional challenges faced by the industry in handling engineering data, emphasizing the shift from manual methods to automated processes. The whitepaper presents the Digital Asset, also referred to as the Digital Twin, as a framework that combines engineering information and allows continual updates across the vessel's life cycle. It further explains the use of touch-driven screen applications, such as AVEVA Engage, which facilitate accessibility to 3D models and detailed engineering information, promoting collaboration among project stakeholders. The case study of Lundin Norway illustrates the practical applications of this approach in the oil and gas sector, demonstrating improved efficiency in operations and maintenance by centralizing information access. Overall, the document illustrates the potential of the Digital Asset methodology to revolutionize information management in shipbuilding, ultimately supporting better decision-making.
