Book Description
Large component manufacturing relies heavily on manual operations and human workers. Human-centric solutions can preserve industry-specific knowledge, extend capabilities, and improve job performance. Three robotized technologies were developed for shipyard operations: ABB™ and KUKA™ robot hand-guiding systems (HGS), a lightweight collaborative system for plasma cutting, and a cost-effective 3D projection system for retrofitting. These technologies were developed at the open didactic factory, which served as platforms for rapid technological advancement. The HGS was integrated with ABB™ and KUKA™, and the 3D projection technology and lightweight collaborative system offered a cost-effective solution for small and medium shipyards. However, transitioning to non-flat surfaces presents challenges due to geometric variations and discrepancies between the computer-aided design model and the actual component.

Shipbuilding Technology and Education
Author: Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030905382X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The U.S. shipbuilding industry now confronts grave challenges in providing essential support of national objectives. With recent emphasis on renewal of the U.S. naval fleet, followed by the defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders have fallen far behind in commercial ship construction, and face powerful new competition from abroad. This book examines ways to reestablish the U.S. industry, to provide a technology base and R&D infrastructure sustaining both commercial and military goals. Comparing U.S. and foreign shipbuilders in four technological areas, the authors find that U.S. builders lag most severely in business process technologies, and in technologies of new products and materials. New advances in system technologies, such as simulation, are also needed, as are continuing developments in shipyard production technologies. The report identifies roles that various government agencies, academia, and, especially, industry itself must play for the U.S. shipbuilding industry to attempt a turnaround.

Lloyd’s Register Technical Association 1987-1988
Author: Lloyd's Register Foundation
Publisher: Lloyd's Register
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The Lloyd’s Register Technical Association (LRTA) was established in 1920 with the primary objective of sharing technical expertise and knowledge within Lloyd’s Register. Publications have consistently been released on a yearly basis, with a brief interruption between 1938 and 1946. These publications serve as a key reference point for best practices and were initially reserved for internal use to maximise LR’s competitive advantage. Today, the LRTA takes a fresh approach, focusing on collaboration by combining professional expertise from across LRF & Group to ensure a frequent output of fresh perspectives and relevant content. The LRTA has evolved into a Group-wide initiative that identifies, captures, and shares knowledge spanning various business streams and functions. To support this modern approach, the LRTA has adopted a new structure featuring representatives and senior governance across the business streams and the LR Foundation. The Lloyd's Register Technical Association Papers should be seen as historical documents representing earlier viewpoints and are not reflective of current thinking and perspectives by the current LR Technical Association.

Advanced Public Procurement as Industrial Policy
Author: Gunnar Eliasson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441958495
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
This study is about the macroeconomic effects of positive externalities or industrial spillovers around advanced production. The case explored is the “technology di- dend” around Swedish aircraft industry, and in particular around the aircraft ma- facturer Saab, and the major industrial project of the JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft. The project is partly an updating of my book (in Swedish) Technology 1 Generator or a National Presige Project from 1995, but extends the analysis in s- eral directions. The study includes a chapter on spillovers from advanced production in an industrially developing economy, South Africa, that has acquired the JAS 39 Gripen for its Air Force. There is also a chapter in which the results for Sweden are discussed in the wider context of advanced public procurement in Europe. The text has been organized such that the main chapters have been written for academic readers. Two supplements include the technical details of data collection, mathematical models, and calculation methods. The first chapter is brief and focused on the results. It has the character of an extended executive summary. The second chapter summarizes the entire story; problems, results, and methods. This project would not have been possible without the generous support of a number of people. First of all great thanks go to all those people with crowded calendars in Swedish industrial firms that have set aside time to respond to my questions. Most of them have been listed at the end of the book.
