We are implementing various technologies across the digital forum that have the potential to boost more inclusive and sustainable growth by spurring innovation, generating efficiencies and improving services.
We have developed Shore Integration Facilities (SIF) for our Shipbuilding and Submarine Divisions, separately, to integrate and simulate various systems and equipment prior to fiting them onboard. To maintain the durability of critical electronic components, SIF use actual equipment, cables, and connectors. This one-of-a-kind facility will make it possible to shorten the time it takes to build warships and to test submarines, procurement, maintenance and Quality Assurance. The PLM system, which was initially implemented in Project Frigate will cause a digital transformation in the field of naval shipbuliding. Moreover, it will raise the integration level and boost predicting precision. It enables the yard to develop and maintain a digital replica of the ships and makes the data accessible to the various agencies involved in the entire lifecycle of the ships.
SAP - ERP is implementated as a business application in our operations. Our SAP system includes a variety of fully integrated moduals a variety of fully integrated modules that essentially covers every facet of business management. SAP implementation has aided as in fortifying internal control system with built-in checks and balances of various operational levels. For SAP, we also maintain a disaster recovery site in Bengaluru.
For the ongoing stealth frigate programme, we are implementing a product lifecycle management(PLM) system. PLM will serve as an information management system to foster seamless collaboration between various disciplines associated with the production of the ship including planning, design, oroduction.
At our Design Department, a state-of-the-art virtual reality lab has been commissioned. Virtual reality (VR) is a scientific and technical technology that mimics a virtual environment through the use of a graphical, occasionally audio, presentation in a setting equipped with large-screeen displays using computer graphics and behavioural interfaces.
File Lifestyle Management (FLM) has been incorporated in our operations to allow for the approval of files in digital form. Online workflow of FLM is used to process files that need approval. Following workfloe completion, the system serves as a central repository for long-term approval storage with user-authorised access.
