User-centric solutions for a flexible and modular manufacturing in small and medium-sized shipyards

Description du projet

Valorisation et requalification des petits chantiers navals d’Europe

L’industrie européenne de la construction navale est un secteur dynamique et compétitif qui est lié à d’autres secteurs, notamment les transports, la sécurité, l’énergie, la recherche et l’environnement. Pour conserver son avance sur la concurrence exercée par des pays comme la Chine et la Corée du Sud, elle doit tirer parti des progrès technologiques, notamment dans les petits et moyens chantiers navals. Dans ce contexte, le projet Mari4_YARD, financé par l’UE, exploite le potentiel de l’internet des objets (IdO), des outils TIC mobiles et omniprésents et de la robotique pour mettre en œuvre un nouveau chantier naval connecté, offrant à la construction navale européenne la possibilité de rester à la pointe du progrès. Le projet mettra plus particulièrement en œuvre un portefeuille de solutions centrées sur le travailleur en s’appuyant sur une nouvelle robotique collaborative et des solutions portables omniprésentes.

Objectif

EU shipbuilding leading edge relies in the complexity, quality, customization, delivery time and lifecycle services (e.g. in situ maintenance, repair and retrofitting) of the vessels manufactured. However, in the last decade, EU small and medium-sized shipyards (SME) have experienced a competitive drawback in their market segments due to an increase of competition from other global regions that benefits from lower labour costs or higher automation degree. Moreover, SME shipyards must also overcome a major impediment related with capital investment that can overwhelm the part cost for shipbuilding. As a result, current automation solutions based on large monolithic equipment, are not still valid for increasing productivity in SME shipyards.
Therefore, shipbuilding, and especially SME shipyards, needs novel cost-effective, reconfigurable, modular and flexible worker-centric methodologies capable of improving worker’s performance and ensuring quality and precision in the execution of the labour-intensive tasks.
Mari4_YARD aims the implementation of a portfolio of worker-centric solutions, by relying on novel collaborative robotics and ubiquitous portable solutions, enabling modular, reconfigurable and usable solutions targeting the execution of labour-intensive tasks by preserving industry-specific workers’ knowledge and skills.
Moreover, replicability and early-adoption of the portfolio of technologies by other SME-shipyards is ensured through several actions on training, technology assessment, benchmarking… by establishing a pan-European network of Didactic Factories, offering general-purpose testbeds and showrooms, as well as providing upskilling and re-skilling of shipyards workforce.
To further maximise the impact, Mari4_YARD plans to use synergies with complementary European and national initiatives, especially those related to MG-3-7-2020. A strategy for collaboration with Mari4_CHAIN and Mari4_PRO proposals, if funded as well, has already been set up.
