To survive in the current shipbuilding industry, it is of vital importance for shipyards to have the ship components’ accuracy evaluated efficiently during most of the manufacturing steps. Evaluating components’ accuracy by comparing each component’s point cloud data scanned by laser scanners and the ship’s design data formatted in CAD cannot be processed efficiently when (1) extract components...

The implementation of smart manufacturing relies on back-and-forth industrial communications between the machine assets shop floor to cloud-level information systems. Purdue Model Computer Integrated Manufacturing has been a standard for control system architecture guidance. However, in IIoT, data flow is not hierarchical since intelligence added asset level. This paper describes and test run M...
