Improving automatic robotic welding in shipbuilding through the introduction of a corner-finding algorithm to help recognise shipbuilding parts

Improving Coating Processes in the Shipbuilding Industry

Copyright ©1997, Technology Publishing Company process and its interaction with the other aspects of shipbuilding, namely steelwork and outfitting. As a result of the research programme, a technical association was set up at the end of 1996 between Appledore International and International Paint. The aim of this association is to combine the shipyard production and engineering expertise of the ...

Recognizing shipbuilding parts using artificial neural networks and Fourier descriptors

A pattern recognition system is described for recognizing shipbuilding parts using artificial neural networks and Fourier descriptors. The system uses shape contour information that is invariant of size, translation, and rotation. Fourier descriptors provide information, and the neural networks make decisions about the shapes. A brief review of the current state of the art is included, and resu...

The Role of IT in Shipbuilding

There can be no doubt that any improvement of the shipbuilding process, regardless whether product improvement or process optimization, can be achieved today without massive support of information technology. Any program with the aim to reduce manhours or to increase the technological level of the product itself always results in development demands of ITbased tools, interfaces, data management...

Shipbuilding Organization Simulation Modelling

System Dynamic Continuous Computer Simulation sub model of the Business-production Shipbuilding Process – PSBP, which building started during 1991/92, in the frame work of the global science project with title “ORGANIZATION MODELING OF THE PRODUCTION PREPARING DEPARTMENT IN MARINE SHIPBUILDING” financed by Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of Croatia, No: 2-09-366, has been a r...
