The Application and challenge of Digital Twin technology in Ship equipment

Abstract

Digital twin technology has been widely developed and very active in many areas of intelligent manufacturing in recent years. Due to the complexity of ship equipment, the impact of variable loads and the high salt spray environment of the ocean, performance degradation was rapid and failures occurred frequently. Its full life cycle operation and maintenance was the main problem that restricts its performance and affects the ship's ability to carry out its mission. Based on the analysis of the development status of digital twin technology and its application in the full life cycle of equipment, this paper proposes a framework for intelligent operation and maintenance of marine devices based on digital twin and discusses the challenges faced by digital twin technology in the application of marine equipment, so as to provide reference and reference for accelerating the role of digital twin technology as a combat multiplier in marine equipment.
