The National Shipbuilding Research Program, Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium Paper No. 6: SPADES System Current Developments
Abstract
For enhancement of the SPADES System, three new modules are currently planned and under development: 1) Ship Production and Control Module (SPAC) - A management information system which utilizes the information collected on the SPADES data base. 2) Detail Engineering Module (DEMO) - A module that is designed not only to produce engineering drawings, but to aid in data collection and consequent loading of the data base with information generated by the Engineering Department. 3) Pipe Length and End-Cuts Program (PLEC) - A special program to aid in fabrication of complex three-dimensional pipe structures, which is of special interest to manufacturers of oil rig structures. Like all other modules of SPADES, these new modules will directly access the SPADES data base, utilizing information that has been generated by other modules, and in turn making it. Thus, information is available to the other modules information gathered by collected and stored where it is generated. There will be no need to recreate information by other departments downstream with the duplication of effort and a high probability of errors. The three new modules will continue the expansion of SPADES from an Numerical Control manufacturing method to a computer-controlled information flow throughout the entire design and construction period.
