Study on PLM and Big Data Collection for the Digital Transformation of the Shipbuilding Industry

Abstract

With the smartization and autonomous navigation of vessels through ICT (Information and Communications Technologies)—combining IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and Big Data—changes in the shipbuilding industry will progress quickly; we must acquire superior technology and vessel quality to partake in the revamped shipbuilding industry. This paper aims to research the means of collecting and managing big data in shipbuilding to suit a variety of data types and communication methods in the shipbuilding industry, as well as ways of utilizing the aforementioned big data in order to respond to rapidly progressing changes in the industry. Additionally, the model proposed in this paper is research based on the Asian shipbuilding industry.
