Abstract
The conceptualization and framework of smart factories have been intensively studied in previous studies, and the extension to various business areas has been suggested as a future research direction. This paper proposes a method for extending the smart factory concept in the ship building phase to the ship servicing phase through actual examples. In order to expand the study, we identified the differences between manufacturing and maintenance. We proposed a smart transformation procedure, framework, and architecture of a smart maintenance factory. The transformation was a large-scale operation for the entire factory beyond simply applying a single process or specific technology. The transformations were presented through a vessel maintenance depot case and the effects of improvements were discussed.
Highlights
Maintenance Factory: The Case of aA smart factory is a production plant where the pillars of Industries 4.0 are implemented, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), augmented reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, autonomous robot, simulation, cyber-security, vertical and horizontal integration, and cloud computing [1]
The growth of a smart factory is limited to the ship building phase, shipbuilders are interested in further expanding the smart factory concept to the service phase in order to expand the scope of the maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO)
In terms of the entire lifecycle, smart factories have been mainly studied in the building phase, and the need to expand research to the service phase has been suggested [6,7,32]
Summary
Maintenance Factory: The Case of aA smart factory is a production plant where the pillars of Industries 4.0 are implemented, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), augmented reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, autonomous robot, simulation, cyber-security, vertical and horizontal integration, and cloud computing [1]. The concept of a smart factory has become a keyword of manufacturing sites along with the technological development during the fourth industrial revolution. Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., and Samsung Heavy Industries are the three major global ship manufacturers in Korea that lead smart ship and yard constructions by applying the new technologies of the fourth industrial revolution and utilizing IT systems [2]. Inc., which have been serving in the shipbuilding and repairing industry for over 45 years, about 23% of the total cost is ship acquisition cost, approximately 35% is labor cost, and the remaining 42% is repairing and maintenance in the Naval Ship Life Cycle Cost (LCC). The growth of a smart factory is limited to the ship building phase, shipbuilders are interested in further expanding the smart factory concept to the service phase in order to expand the scope of the maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO)
