Objective:
This project developed a data exchange application that translates data between a shipyardâs material management/procurement system and 3D computer-aided design system (CAD). The âas-isâ practices of the shipyardâs material handling processes were first captured, followed by extracting relevant data and identifying system integration paths, or an alignment map. The results were used to build a neutral schema that can interpret common data between the ERP and CAD systems.
