Software helps in international VR project
Delmia software is being used as a key element in an international project aiming to bring generic virtual reality to industrial manufacturing.
This digital shipbuilding system will simulate and optimise entire shipbuilding lifecycle process in a virtual environment from the initial development stage to the launch.
This project has received attention as a landmark for process innovation in traditional industries.
SHI plans to invest a total of US $5 million over three years by the end of 2004, and it is expected to make significant contributions to not only increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve quality, but also strengthen the competitiveness of Korean shipbuilding technologies.

Design validation time shortened at Sanyo
Delmia's Quest and UltraSpot have contributed significantly to Sanyo Machine Works' objectives of shortening design validation time and improving system quality.
Dr Jong Gye Shin, professor of the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at Seoul National University, and head of the DSIC, said: "The future competitiveness of a shipyard comes from the innovative digitalisation of its products, processes, and resources.
Delmia's digital manufacturing solutions enable us to easily model the complex processes and resources associated with the SHI shipyard.
Thanks to SHI's involvement, this digital shipyard will be very realistic and practical so as to fit SHI' s requirements.
Eventually, SHI will operate two shipyards, one physical and the other digital, in Koje".
"Korea must integrate worldwide leading IT technologies, such as Delmia solutions, with its unparalleled shipbuilding technologies to solidify its dominant position in the global market", said Dr Seong-Yong Han, vice president and head of the R and D centre at SHI.
"SHI's goal is to develop an integrated shipbuilding management system with digital simulation which can improve productivity of the shipyard, optimise production line layout, and evaluate production efficiency in practical details".
"We are extremely honoured that SHI has chosen Delmia's Igrip and Quest as a 3D digital representation tool to simulate the whole shipbuilding process", said Peter Schmitt, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Business Development at Delmia Corp.
"We are sure that this decision will benefit SHI in significantly improving shipbuilding processes.
Moreover, these solutions will also reduce the time to market thanks to synergies from SHI's industry best practices, combined with Delmia's best-in-class digital manufacturing technologies".
