The Role of Digital Twins in Modern Shipbuilding Era

The shipbuilding industry is currently investing on modernizing manufacturing techniques globally in order to save time, costs, and achieve superior quality. In the shipbuilding sector, digital twin technology has become a powerful tool with the potential to completely change the way ships are designed, constructed, and maintained. It is a virtual representation of a ship's physical component that was created by integrating data from multiple sources, such as design specifications, sensor data, and other pertinent data. It offers a thorough and realistic simulation of the ship and may be used to simulate how the ship will operate under various operating circumstances as well as to improve the ship's design and operation. Through integrating a variety of data and information relevant to the ship's design, components, systems, and performance, shipbuilding digital twins are produced. By utilizing this information, a detailed 3D model of the ship is generated, which can be utilized to simulate how it would behave and operate in various functional environments. Shipbuilders can find possible design defects, improves the performance of the ship, and increase safety & reliability by simulating the ship's performance in a digital environment
