Shipbuilding & Ship Repair

From steel cut to sea trials: see every block, part and delay before it hits the dock.

Design, planning, stores and suppliers run on separate systems; one late block or valve slips the dock schedule.

The question it answers

“Which blocks will miss dock erection because of material shortages or design changes?”

What changes: On-time delivery, less rework, fewer penalty days.

All seven layers

How ForgeOrbis works for shipbuilding.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Ingest

    Data sources

    • Ship CAD/PLM (e.g., AVEVA Marine, Siemens Teamcenter)
    • ERP
    • Production planning (often Excel)
    • Stores
    • Supplier portals
    • Cutting/welding machine data
    • Class inspection records
  2. 02

    Understand

    Extract

    Facts from unstructured data

    • Drawing and BOM revisions
    • Inspection reports
    • Supplier delivery notes
    • Shift logs
  3. 03

    Unify

    Resolve

    What must be matched

    • Same part/material across CAD, ERP and stores
    • Supplier name variants
    • Block IDs across planning and shop floor
  4. 04

    Relate

    Model

    Objects and links (the ontology)

    • Hull
    • Block
    • Work Package
    • Part
    • Material
    • Supplier
    • Dock
    • Inspection
    • Design Revision
  5. 05

    Decide

    Ask

    Example question

    “Which blocks will miss dock erection because of material shortages or design changes?”

  6. 06

    Execute

    Act

    Approved actions

    • Expedite purchase order
    • Re-sequence work packages
    • Notify class surveyor
    • Flag design-change impact
    With approval
  7. 07

    Trust

    Govern

    Trust and compliance

    • Defence-yard data segregation
    • Design IP protection
    • Audit of every schedule change

What a pilot measures

Each pilot measures 2 to 3 KPIs you already track, before and after. We publish no benefit numbers until a customer has measured them.

  • Schedule variance (days)
  • Rework hours
  • Material shortage incidents
  • Man-hours per CGT
  • Inspection pass rate

Who it is for

  • Yard production head
  • CMD of PSU shipyard

Where it stands today

What runs today, and what we are still building.

We would rather tell you up front than discover it in week three. A pilot starts with what runs today.

Still to build for shipbuilding

  • Entity resolution (assets/things)Layer 3Vessels, parts, equipment tags, SKUs, sites across systems

Live means shipping in the product today. Partly live means part of the layer ships today and the rest is being built. Roadmap means being built and not available yet. We never show it as available.
