This paper presents a new generation of system for pressure vessel and shipbuilding. Typical pressure vessel and ship building weld joint preparations are either traditional V, butt, fillet grooves or have narrow or semi narrow gap profiles. The fillet and U groove are prevalently used in heavy industries and shipbuilding to melt and join the parts. Since the wall thickness can be up to 6" or greater, welds must be made in many layers, each layer containing several passes. However, the welding time for the conventional processes such as SAW(Submerged Arc Welding) and FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) can be many hours. Although SAW and FCAW are normally a mechanized process, pressure vessel and ship structures welding up to now have usually been controlled by a full time operator. The operator has typically been responsible for positioning each individual weld run, for setting weld process parameters, for maintaining flux and wire levels, for removing slag and so on. The aim of the system is to develop a high speed welding system with multitorch for increasing the production speed on the line and to remove the need for the operator so that the system can run automatically for the complete multi-torch multi-layer weld. To achieve this, a laser vision sensor, a rotating torch and an image processing algorithm have been made. Also, the multitorch welding system can be applicable for the fine grained steel because of the high welding speed and lower heat input compare to a conventional welding process.

Automatic docking of small planing ship is a critical aspect of maritime operations, requiring accurate prediction of motion states to ensure safe and efficient maneuvers. This study investigates the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict motion state of a small planing ship to enhance navigation automation in port environments. To achieve this, simulation tests were conducted to control a small planing ship while docking at various heading angles in calm water and in waves. Comprehensive analysis of the ANN-based predictive model was conducted by training and validation using data from various docking situations to improve its ability to accurately capture motion characteristics of a small planing ship. The trained ANN model was used to predict the motion state of the small planning ship based on any initial motion state. Results showed that the small planing ship could dock smoothly in both calm water and waves conditions, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method for prediction. Moreover, the ANN-based prediction model can adjust the dynamic model of the small planing ship to adapt in real-time and enhance the robustness of an automatic positioning system. This study contributes to the ongoing development of automated navigation systems and facilitates safer and more efficient maritime transport operations.

이 논문에서는 강판의 곡가공과 관련해서 지금까지 수행된 연구의 동향을 검토하였고, 이의 자동화 시스템 구축에 있어서 우선적으로 선행되어야 할 부분으로서 주어진 곡면의 Marking Data를 자동으로 생성하도록 개발한 전산 시스템의 개요와 이를 실제 곡면모델에 적용한 결과를 다루었다. 본 연구에서 소개하는 Marking Data 생성을 위한 전산 시스템을 실제 곡면모델에 적용한 곁과로부터 추정한 곡면이 주어진 곡면에 상당히 접근하는 결과를 보여 주고 있으며 생성된 Marking Data 역시 현재 현장에서 시행하는 것에 부합되는 합리적인 것이였다. 따라서 여기에서 소개한 Marking Data 자동생성을 위한 전산 시스템을 추후 더 많은 곡면모델에의 적용을 통해서 보완한다면 현장에서 충분히 실용적으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

The importance of indoor positioning has grown in numerous application areas such as emergency response, logistics, and industrial automation. In ships, indoor positioning is also needed to provide services to passengers on board. Due to the complex structure and dynamic nature of ship environments, conventional positioning techniques have limitations in providing accurate positions. Compared to other indoor positioning technologies, Bluetooth 5.1-based indoor positioning technology is highly suitable for ship environments. Bluetooth 5.1 attains centimeter-level positioning accuracy by collecting In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) samples from wireless signals. However, distorted IQ samples can lead to significant errors in the final estimated position. Therefore, we propose an indoor positioning method for ships that utilizes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) combined with IQ fingerprint maps to overcome the challenges associated with accurate location detection within the ship. The results indicate that the accuracy of our proposed method can reach up to 97.76%.

Lately, the demand for automation in the industries has increased and automation system has continuously installed in various industrial fields. But automation for shipbuilding industries is more difficult than others. Because we must cope with diverse ship types and owner's various requirements. Nevertheless, for the past several years a steady development on welding robot for shipbuilding has been going on. Existing automatic welding robots are operated separately and do not communicate with each other. In the existing facilities, although a unit of robot has a good performance, and if all of units are not operated systematically, we are not satisfied with results of our system. So we suggest an integration and operation method of system units. System integration methods applied to our system have in many cases lead to lower cost and shorter lead time.

For coping with various ship types easily, welding automation using CAD/CAM is demanded and and developed. In this paper we propose a dedicated CAM system which generates MACRO files to control robot manipulators. The paper contains CAD interface, virtual simulation, macro generation and job schedulling. At first, it defines and extracts weldline from CAD data, and generates proper MACRO programs. And it obtains optimum job schedules. This system removes the manual work, and consequently reduces the overall lead time. And it reduces costs and time for developing robot welding programs. This can be expanded to virtual factory simulation technology. Moreover, it is possible to apply this system for automation of Cutting and Painting

In general, a series of ship steering motions is composed of a combination of translational motions and rotational motions of the ship. In particular, a series of rotational motions frequently occurs in narrow areas such as ports and canal zones. In this paper, a method was suggested for composing an integrated control algorithm based on the jog dial as a command instrument for rotational motion control. In order to realize the rotational motions, several algorithms were suggested for generating rotational commands, for selecting motion variables, for choosing reference input values for the motion variables, for computing required accelerations and thrusts, and for allocating thrusts to actuators. A simulation program was compiled to execute simulations for three rotational motions. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method was verified by analyzing the simulation results.
