A transformation strategy is set in motion to enhance design productivity and bolster the capabilities of ship layout engineers in the rapidly changing shipbuilding landscape. This collaboration focuses on harnessing artificial intelligence to create a more efficient and precise ship design tool.
The joint research initiative targets key objectives. First, it aims to develop an AI-powered solution for optimizing the structural analysis of hull support arrangements. Traditionally, pinpointing the location of these supports has involved complex and repetitive computational analyses. With this partnership, the process will be automated using AI, facilitating optimal support configurations and offering a user-friendly interface that displays real-time simulation results under various input conditions.
Secondly, the initiative will establish an on-premise design verification system driven by generative AI. This system will leverage a large language model (LLM) and will operate securely within the company’s internal network, adhering to shipyard safety protocols. By organizing the accumulated shipbuilding knowledge and refining workflows across multiple departments, this tool is anticipated to enhance both technical expertise and operational efficiency throughout the shipyard.
KR and HD Hyundai Samho view this project as a starting point for the broader application of AI in ship design, with intentions to extend the use of these core technologies to other facets of shipbuilding operations. SHIM Hakmu, Executive Vice President of HD Hyundai Samho, remarked, “This collaboration marks a pivotal step towards significantly advancing design efficiency and accuracy at shipyards through AI-driven automation. Specifically, optimizing the arrangement of hull supports with AI and introducing a secure in-house design system will reduce the workload for design engineers, enabling more consistent and precise outcomes, ultimately boosting overall productivity and quality.”
KIM Daeheon, Executive Vice President of KR, noted, “This joint development project signifies a critical turning point in modernizing the ship design and analysis process using advanced AI technologies.” KR remains dedicated to creating a variety of AI-powered solutions not just in ship design but also across the broader shipbuilding and maritime sectors.
