The platform will employ capabilities such as digital twins,
modelling and simulation, and artificial intelligence (AI) to help
Navantia accelerate ship design and development, optimize the
construction process, including meeting maximum safety standards,
and develop new services across the operational lifetime of its
vessels.
The first ship to benefit from using the Shipyard 4.0 platform
will be the new F-110 frigate, part of a new class of combat
vessels for the Spanish Navy. The new platform will help Navantia
improve its business management systems throughout a vessel’s
entire lifecycle. The rest of Navantia's new projects will
follow.
Accenture will also work with Navantia over the next three years
with the integration of Navantia’s end-to-end business processes,
facilitating the interaction with customers and suppliers. The
project will involve more than 1,000 engineers, 40 construction and
engineering firms, 200 suppliers, four shipyards and all of
Navantia’s business lines: Shipbuilding, Systems, Repairs,
Propulsion, Life Cycle Support, Wind, and Technology Transfer
Program.
“Navantia is focused on improving operational efficiencies by
developing digital twins of our key products and digitally
connecting the entire value chain,” said Donato Martínez,
Navantia’s chief technology officer. “By partnering with Accenture,
a recognized leader in digital solutions, we can deploy our
strategic plan with new technologies and products and provide
higher value to our customers for decades to come.”
Julio Juan Prieto, a managing director in Accenture’s Aerospace
& Defense practice, said, “Navantia is redefining end-to-end
processes and services for Spain’s naval forces. The Shipyard 4.0
platform will improve process efficiency, reduce time-to-market,
maximize safety, and open the doors to a new wave of advanced
products and process-simulation capabilities.”
