[0002] The technology of ship section fabrication has developed rapidly. Under the modern shipbuilding model, the production system for ship section fabrication has become more complex and the processes more diversified. To improve the efficiency of ship section fabrication, the transformation and upgrading of shipyard section manufacturing workshops is imperative. As the core production resource for section fabrication, the scientific and rational nature of its transformation, upgrading, and selection directly affects the construction efficiency of section fabrication, and consequently impacts the shipyard's economic benefits and market competitiveness. Currently, there are significant shortcomings in the industry's methods for transforming, upgrading, and selecting ship section fabrication process equipment. Most shipyards rely on subjective experience and lack precise analysis of actual production needs, resulting in selected equipment that is difficult to match the production rhythm and process flow, causing inconsistencies in production processes. Furthermore, selecting process equipment based solely on simple parameter comparisons ignores key factors such as the equipment's performance under actual working conditions, operational stability, and long-term cost consumption.
[0003] Taking cutting processes as an example, some shipyards, failing to fully consider the diversity of shipbuilding materials and the complex requirements of cutting processes, select cutting equipment whose power and precision are mismatched. This not only wastes energy and exacerbates equipment wear and tear but also results in substandard cutting quality, necessitating secondary processing and severely impacting production efficiency and product quality. This extensive selection method has become a bottleneck restricting shipyards from improving production efficiency and reducing costs. Therefore, developing a scientific, systematic, and precise method for selecting equipment for shipyard section fabrication processes is urgently needed.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] The technology of ship section manufacturing has developed rapidly. Under the modern shipbuilding model, the production system of ship section manufacturing has become more complex and the process flow more diversified. In order to improve the efficiency of ship section manufacturing, it is necessary to upgrade and transform the shipyard section manufacturing workshop. As the core production resource of section manufacturing, the scientific and rational nature of its transformation, upgrading and selection directly affects the construction efficiency of section manufacturing, and thus affects the shipyard's economic benefits and market competitiveness. Therefore, in one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a method for selecting process equipment for ship section manufacturing is provided, including the following steps: Step S1, conduct production demand forecasting to determine the quantitative indicators of section manufacturing production scale; Step S2, conduct production site status analysis to obtain the configuration data and production capacity data of process equipment in the section manufacturing department; Step S3, according to the section process diagram and production site layout, conduct process analysis on each intermediate product production link to obtain the production cycle of intermediate products; Step S4, based on the production cycle of intermediate products and combined with the section production plan, analyze the process of each section manufacturing workshop in the shipyard. The process involves several steps: Step S5, Step S6, Step S7, Step S8, Step S9, Step S10, Step S21, Step S32, Step S43, Step S54, Step S65, Step S76, Step S87, Step S88, Step S9 ...
[0021] Specifically, from production demand forecasting, site status analysis, production cycle time extraction, and process equipment parameter analysis to dynamic cost assessment and scoring, the entire equipment selection process is made scientific and data-driven. This enables precise matching of the process equipment requirements for shipyard section manufacturing, optimizing production layout, avoiding equipment redundancy or insufficient performance, improving cutting and manufacturing precision and efficiency, fundamentally enhancing production capacity, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs, and strengthening product quality stability. By precisely matching process equipment with production needs and optimizing production processes, section manufacturing capacity and efficiency can be improved, production costs reduced, and product quality stability enhanced. The introduction of highly intelligent and automated process equipment also drives the upgrading of shipyard production technology.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S1, based on the shipyard's representative ship type elements and production plan for the next 3-5 years, the annual target tonnage for steel processing can be calculated. Using a 300-day work week per year, the daily processing tonnage can be estimated. Specifically, estimating based on 90% steel plates and 10% structural steel, the monthly and daily processing tonnage for steel plates and structural steel can be obtained, thus determining the daily capacity requirements for steel plate cutting equipment and structural steel cutting equipment. Further, we can estimate the proportion of different production tasks based on the ratios of 50%, 30%, 10%, and 10% for internal components, straight plates, curved outer plates, and sheet metal sheets, using this as a basis to estimate the demand for different types of cutting equipment. This yields the annual and monthly section quantity and production tonnage for the section manufacturing department, thereby determining the quantitative indicators for the section manufacturing production scale.
[0023] Furthermore, in step S2, a current status analysis of the production site is conducted. This analysis of the current status of the section manufacturing department provides a detailed understanding of the production area and division of production zones, the management hierarchy, and the production organization methods. It also obtains the number of production management and construction personnel, and understands the production processes for each section fabrication step, including pretreatment, cutting, sub-assembly, jig placement, and production logistics. The production organization methods and fabrication patterns for different ship types and section types are also understood. A production area division map of the section manufacturing department, the division of production management levels, the number of production management and construction personnel, and familiarity with the production processes and methods for each section fabrication step are obtained. Simultaneously, the configuration of process equipment and production capacity data for the section manufacturing department are understood, including: the daily number of pretreated steel plates, the number of steel sections, the number of meters of steel plates cut, the number of steel sections cut, the number of processed parts, and the number of hot and cold processed plates.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the production process flow is drawn: based on the segmented process diagram and production site layout, the division of intermediate products in each process before the segmented manufacturing workshop transformation and the future planning of intermediate products are understood. The process flow is drawn in detail, the production process of intermediate products in each process of segmented manufacturing is finely decomposed, the segmented manufacturing process is further broken down, the process analysis of each intermediate product production link is carried out, and the product production process flow diagram and site layout diagram are drawn. Based on capacity demand and work shifts, the production rhythm of intermediate products is planned. The process equipment and turnover site should be consistent with the production rhythm of intermediate products, with product flow as the core.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S4, process equipment technical parameters and personnel requirements analysis are performed. Based on the production cycle time of intermediate products, the working time of each workstation in the production workshop is set. The working time is calculated in hours (H), with 8 hours as one shift and 300 working days as the calculation. Combined with the segmented production plan, the material quantity analysis of each process of the shipyard's segmented manufacturing is performed to obtain the annual, monthly, or daily material quantity requirements of intermediate products in each process, and then process equipment technical parameters and personnel requirements analysis are performed.
[0026] Furthermore, in step S5, a production workshop process simulation verification is performed: based on the obtained production cycle time and process equipment, combined with the site layout and lifting equipment, a production workshop simulation is conducted to verify the production status of the production workshop process route. The production workshop simulation mainly focuses on the production cycle time of the process equipment, while also taking into account the flow of intermediate products on the production site. If the production requirements are met, then the process flow and equipment technical parameters selection meet the production requirements; if not, it is necessary to re-lay out the production process flow, conduct process equipment parameter and personnel requirement analysis, etc.
[0027] Furthermore, in step S6, a full life-cycle cost calculation of the process equipment is performed, detailing all expenses incurred during the equipment procurement process, including the price of the equipment itself, transportation and insurance costs, installation and commissioning costs, import duties and value-added tax, etc., to ensure the accuracy of the initial purchase cost calculation. Dynamic cost analysis is then conducted: a dynamic cost analysis model is established, comprehensively considering energy consumption costs (calculated based on equipment power and actual operating time), maintenance costs (estimated based on equipment maintenance cycles, maintenance items, and cost standards), replacement costs of vulnerable parts (statistical analysis of replacement frequency and purchase price of vulnerable parts), and equipment idle costs, to assess the cost consumption of the equipment throughout its entire service life. Further, in step S7, a comprehensive analysis of process equipment selection is performed, ranking and prioritizing candidate equipment: a process equipment scoring table is constructed based on technical indicators, durability, energy consumption, production capacity, purchase cost, and investment payback period. A comprehensive score is then calculated, and candidate equipment is ranked in descending order of the comprehensive score. The equipment with the highest comprehensive score and all indicators meeting basic production requirements is selected as the preferred option.
[0028] In this embodiment, the step of forecasting production demand and determining the quantitative indicators of the segmented manufacturing production scale includes: forecasting production demand, calculating the annual target tonnage of steel processing, estimating the daily processing tonnage of steel, and calculating the monthly and daily processing tonnage of steel plates and sections according to the weight ratio of steel plates and sections; determining the proportion of each production task based on the proportion of internal components, flat plates, curved outer plates, and sheet metal sheets, and determining the required quantity of each type of cutting equipment; obtaining the annual and monthly number of sections and the production tonnage of each section manufacturing department according to the segmentation method of ship segmented manufacturing, and determining the quantitative indicators of the segmented manufacturing production scale based on the annual and monthly number of sections and the production tonnage of each section manufacturing department.
[0029] This process involves accurately predicting the annual, monthly, and daily processing volume of steel, and combining this with the proportional distribution of different plates and components to obtain the scientifically optimal number of various cutting equipment. This process transforms the segmented production scale into quantitative indicators, providing objective data support for subsequent equipment selection, achieving a precise match between production scale and equipment capacity, thereby reducing the risk of equipment idleness or insufficient capacity.
[0030] Specifically, based on the shipyard's representative ship type elements and production plan for the next 3-5 years, the annual target tonnage for steel processing can be calculated. Assuming 300 working days per year, the daily processing tonnage can be estimated. Using a weight estimate of 90% steel plates and 10% structural steel, the monthly and daily processing tonnage for steel plates and structural steel can be determined, thus deriving the daily capacity requirements for steel plate cutting equipment and structural steel cutting equipment. Furthermore, we can further estimate the proportion of different production tasks based on the ratios of internal components, straight plates, curved outer plates, and sheet metal sheets (50%, 30%, 10%, 10%), using this as a basis to estimate the demand for different types of cutting equipment.
[0031] In this embodiment, the step of conducting a production site status analysis to obtain the configuration data of the process equipment and production capacity data of the segmented manufacturing department includes: conducting a production site status analysis, analyzing the production area division map of the segmented manufacturing department, the division of production management levels, the number of production management and construction personnel, the production process and manufacturing method of each segmented manufacturing process, and obtaining the configuration data of the process equipment and production capacity data of the segmented manufacturing department; wherein the production capacity data includes at least: the number of pre-processed steel plates per day, the number of steel sections, the number of meters of steel plates cut, the number of steel sections cut, the number of processed parts, and the number of cold and hot processed plates.
[0032] This system analyzes production area divisions, management levels, and personnel structure to obtain accurate data on current process equipment configurations and production capacity, providing a comprehensive understanding of production resource distribution. This analysis offers a scientific basis for subsequent process optimization and equipment layout, ensuring that selected solutions better suit actual production conditions, guaranteeing the feasibility and effectiveness of equipment upgrades, and promoting capacity release and operational efficiency improvement.
[0033] In this embodiment, the step of performing process analysis on each intermediate product production stage based on the segmented process diagram and production site layout to obtain the production cycle time of the intermediate products includes: performing process analysis on each intermediate product production stage based on the segmented process diagram and production site layout; obtaining the division of intermediate products for each process before the segmented manufacturing workshop renovation and the future intermediate product planning; decomposing the production process of intermediate products for each process in segmented manufacturing; further breaking down the segmented manufacturing processes; performing process analysis on each intermediate product production stage; drawing product production process flow diagrams and production site layout diagrams; and obtaining the production cycle time of intermediate products based on capacity requirements and work shifts, combined with the configuration data of the process equipment and production capacity data of the segmented manufacturing department.
[0034] This method involves decomposing the production process of intermediate products and analyzing the cycle time, combining this with existing equipment performance and capacity data to accurately calculate the production rhythm of each process. This reveals capacity mismatches in the process, providing a basis for equipment selection and process optimization, resulting in a more balanced and coordinated production cycle, smoother production processes, and maximized resource utilization, thereby improving overall production efficiency and cycle time control accuracy.
[0035] In this embodiment, the calculation of the full life cycle cost of process equipment using the dynamic cost analysis method includes: obtaining the equipment body price, transportation insurance cost, installation and commissioning cost, import tariffs and value-added tax of various types of process equipment, and calculating the initial purchase cost; calculating energy consumption cost based on the power and actual operating time of various types of process equipment; calculating maintenance cost based on the maintenance cycle, maintenance items and cost standards of various types of process equipment; calculating the replacement frequency and price of vulnerable parts of various types of process equipment, and calculating the replacement cost of vulnerable parts; establishing a dynamic cost analysis model based on the initial purchase cost, the energy consumption cost, the maintenance cost, the replacement cost of vulnerable parts and the equipment idle cost, and evaluating the cost consumption of various types of process equipment throughout their entire life cycle based on the dynamic cost analysis model.
[0036] This method involves introducing a dynamic cost analysis model to quantitatively evaluate the entire process of equipment, from procurement and energy consumption to maintenance and replacement of vulnerable parts, thus establishing a full life-cycle cost consumption model. This approach helps decision-makers assess the merits of equipment from an economic perspective, achieving a balance between technical indicators and economic benefits, avoiding the pitfall of selecting "low-priced, high-consumption" equipment, thereby effectively reducing total cost of ownership and improving return on investment.
[0037] In this embodiment, when verifying whether production needs are met, the process further includes: if production needs are not met, re-arranging the production process flow, performing analysis of process equipment technical parameters and personnel requirements to obtain new production cycle time and process equipment technical parameters, and using a cost dynamic analysis method to recalculate the full life cycle cost of the process equipment based on the new production cycle time and process equipment technical parameters combined with the configuration data of the process equipment in the segmented manufacturing department.
[0038] By establishing a simulation verification and dynamic adjustment mechanism, the system automatically triggers process flow re-layout and parameter recalculation when simulations fail to meet production requirements, achieving closed-loop optimization of the selection scheme. This mechanism ensures that the final equipment type perfectly matches the production cycle and capacity targets, enhancing the adaptability and scientific nature of the selection method and guaranteeing the effective implementation of the upgrade and transformation plan.
[0039] In this embodiment, the construction of the process equipment scoring table, combined with the process equipment's full life-cycle cost, is used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of process equipment selection to determine the type of process equipment. This includes: constructing a process equipment scoring table using technical indicators, durability, energy consumption, production capacity, purchase cost, and investment payback period as scoring factors; comprehensively scoring various types of process equipment based on the scoring table; ranking various types of process equipment in descending order of comprehensive score; selecting the process equipment with the highest comprehensive score and all indicators meeting the basic production requirements as the preferred device; and selecting the type of the preferred device.
[0040] This method involves constructing a scoring system centered on technical indicators, energy consumption, durability, production capacity, procurement costs, and payback period to quantitatively and comprehensively evaluate various types of equipment. This approach achieves standardization and objectivity in equipment selection and evaluation, enabling the rapid identification of equipment types that are optimal in both technical adaptability and economic efficiency. This leads to the optimal selection of equipment configurations and promotes the intelligent, automated, and modern upgrading of shipyard production.
[0041] This application establishes a systematic and quantitative method for selecting equipment for ship section manufacturing processes, integrating production forecasting, process analysis, simulation verification, and cost assessment. This transforms the selection process from "experience-based decision-making" to "data-driven" methods. Taking cutting processes as an example, it effectively solves problems such as inaccurate equipment selection, high energy consumption, and unstable quality, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing quality stability, and promoting the upgrading of shipyards towards intelligence, efficiency, and green practices.
[0042] The aforementioned method for selecting process equipment for ship section fabrication achieves a scientific and data-driven process throughout the entire equipment selection process, from production demand forecasting, site status analysis, production cycle extraction, and process equipment parameter analysis to dynamic cost assessment and scoring. This method accurately matches the process equipment requirements of the shipyard's section fabrication operations, optimizes production layout, avoids equipment redundancy or insufficient performance, improves cutting and manufacturing precision and efficiency, fundamentally enhances production capacity, reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, and strengthens product quality stability. By accurately matching process equipment with production needs and optimizing production processes, it is possible to improve section fabrication production capacity and efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance product quality stability. Furthermore, the introduction of highly intelligent and automated process equipment promotes the upgrading of shipyard production technology.
