PI Marine is dedicated to increasing productivity and efficiency across the ship design, planning and manufacturing processes.

Meet and network with peers from your industry, learn how leading companies are leveraging digital assets to simulate entire systems, improving delivery cycles whilst reducing waste and rework. Participate in discussions looking at the benefits and justifications for smart manufacturing initiatives such as: automated material handling, additive manufacturing, robot welding and flexible production planning.

DIGITAL INNOVATION & DEVELOPMENT

Covering the latest development tools and techniques to manage the delivery of a ship's complex system of systems, increasingly covering both hardware and software development lifecycles. Naval architects and shipyards are increasingly adopting 3D design, simulation and data management tools to manage the concept through to detailed design phases, ensuring all suppliers and stakeholders are engaged throughout. Sessions will cover the benefits of a model-based approach, product lifecycle management, systems engineering and system integration.

SMART PRODUCTION

How can Shipyards invest in innovative technologies to improve concurrency and flexibility within the manufacturing and supply chain process? This track will cover how efficient manufacturing & resource planning and operations management tools are critical to the profit bottom-line. Smart manufacturing is more than just robot welding automation; how industrial connectivity can provide data for real-time decision making and AR/VR technologies can improve shipyard training and safety processes.
