Evolution of Shipbuilding
Evolution of Weld Management
Why have we not improved our
management of welding?
1. Welds are not 3D?
2. Are welds that that big of a deal?
3. Is our current processes good enough when managing welds?
Welds Are 3D!
Welds Are a Big Deal!
Welding can account for 20-30% of
production hours and approximately 10% of
total cost.
Boekholt
Current Weld Management workflow is Not Ideal!
If our processes are left unchanged we will
be spending a significantly more time on
managing welds for no additional $

Issues with Current Management of Welds
• Manual calculations
• Not leveraging of information in 3D Product Model
• Difficult/impossible to manage changes
Not leveraging 3D Product data model
• No leveraging of information
• Welding & 3D Model
• DisconnectedSilos of information
• 2D Reports
• Manual or No Feedback
Traditional approaches not
updated for todays capabilities
Modern Weld Management Solution
1. Leverage 3D Product Data Model
2. An Integrated Open Environment
3. Intuitive, Immersive & Visual

Detail Modeling
• Automatically find and generate
weld paths
• Geometry based
• Leverage relationships
• Leverage rule based Weld Schedule
to automatically select default weld
standard
• No more undefined welds
• Updatable with 3D model changes
• Visually verify weld / checking

Production Planning
• Estimation with weld properties
• Low effort for better initial estimation
• Improved planning of welders
• Accurate material usage
• Reduce overstock
• Weld orientation
• Have changes in Build Strategy
reflected instantly
• Simulation of build sequence to
improve construction

Examples of Production Documentation
Management of welds
Management
• Type of information
• Progress of detail modeling
• All welds properties defined
• Estimation
• Progress of implementation
• Textual reports
• Always up-to-date
• No generating and passing reports
• Visual representations
• Little to no CAD experience
• Communicates information clearly

TODO: Visualize Weld Progress & Status
Inspection
• Schedule and plan up coming work
• Generate document of daily work
• Support disconnect workflow
• Import results of daily work
• Reports of progress
• Visual representations of progress

Key Take-Aways: Current Method
Wasteful processes using the same methods when we were design ships
decades ago
Siloes of information which relies on manual and disconnect processes to
pass information
Textual Reports which are out-of-date and require significant knowledge of
the project to interpret and make any valuable decisions
Key Take-Away: Rethinking Weld Management
Lean Weld Management. Remove the waste of re-entering information and
maximize the information available
Integrated Open Environment where all information is leveraged reused
Intuitive, Immersive & Visual when entering data, verifying and managing of
welds
