Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an integrated management station device for ships and its usage method, belonging to the field of ship equipment support. Background Technology
[0002] The design, production, and use of ships generate a large amount of paper-based technical data, which is an important part of ship equipment support. However, paper-based technical data is not only difficult to store, costly to maintain, and inconvenient to find and use, but it is also prone to damage and loss during long-term use. This support method cannot meet the needs of modern warfare for rapid equipment support. Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) has emerged to address this need. It is an information manual that enables the rapid retrieval of various ship maintenance information through hardware carriers such as tablet computers and personal computers.
[0003] However, the complex environment and high personnel turnover on ships make the management and storage of personal information carriers difficult. Currently, although different personal computers and tablets are allocated on board according to organizational relationships for management, learning, document registration, and training registration, each mobile terminal can only be kept by the individual, posing security and confidentiality issues. During missions at sea, the harsh marine environment forces these personally stored devices to be placed in personal living quarters or similar locations, where they are easily damaged by the ship's rough seas, resulting in data loss. During routine training, after each group conducts training, training results and other data must be compiled sequentially by the group leaders and submitted to the ship's command, leading to low data transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the devices require charging after multiple uses, but currently, there is no centralized power supply on board to allow multiple devices to charge simultaneously. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to solve the comprehensive management challenges of data transmission, data backup, centralized power supply, and security and confidentiality of personal information carriers on ships.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides an integrated shipboard management station device and its usage method. The device comprises a housing, on which are mounted a safety management module, an input / output module, a heat dissipation module, and PC workstation drawers and multiple PAD terminal drawers that can be pushed and pulled out of the housing.
