Software Products :

To date we have two software products in operation with development proceeding on two others.

SmartPlan-Ships™ is the automated planning and detailing software engine—in operation.

SmartPlan-Cable™ is the automated cable planning software engine—in operation.

SmartRoute™ is the automated routing software engine—under development.

SmartPlan-Outfit™ is the automated ship outfitting software engine—under development.

 

A working prototype is currently in alpha testing at Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding.  The first implementation will be on CVN21 and is supported by advance purchase orders from NGNN.

Automated Planning/Detailing Engine

SmartPlan-Ships™

 

"One button", fully automated design detailing and construction planner.  Will generate a complete, optimal construction bill of materials and construction assembly hierarchy.  Also will determine optimum joint and seam locations for piping and steel structure.

 

The Problem

Ship construction represents one of the more challenging planning problems in industry today.

Examining alternative build strategies costs time and money--design-build teams can only afford to try a small number of strategies using existing software tools. The result is higher than necessary construction costs.

The Solution

Industrial Planning Technology is developing a new technology for solving this problem, based on a new, highly efficient algorithm discovered by Industrial Planning Technology researchers. The technology starts with a 3D product model from a CAD system and automatically determines the lowest cost subdivision and assembly strategy--where to place seams and joints, and how to assemble the ship. When completed, the technology will be packaged as a plug-in software engine which will interface to existing CAD/CAM and ERP systems.

Benefits

  • Reduce construction cost through optimum use of automated facilities
  • Rapid replan/redesign for new or upgraded manufacturing facilities
    •
  • Provide accurate cost and time estimates
  • Reduce time and cost of planning
  • Reduce time to delivery
