About Lürssen: NX/TC@Lürssen

since 2003from the beginning development partner for NX Shipabout 220 NX seatstoday with NX9 and Teamcenter 10.1most of the main aspects in design/engineering are done in NX (schematics, ship structure, coordination, outfitting, interior, overview drawings)

About Lürssen: Our challenges today

How to get the right information at the right time to the right place?How to know the actual state of a project?How to find the right decisions?

Mobile “Viewing” – the use cases for shipbuilders

If the product is leaving the shopfloor, we have to provide information on mobile devices.Yesterday and today, drawings are the “mobile devices”.Tomorrow?

The most important use cases:Mounting of systemsApprovals onsite/offsiteChecks (Variance Analyses,…)Documentation of actual statusLaunching of systems

TrainingSupport during Operations(Online Trouble Shooting/Spare Parts Management/Online Monitoring/…)…

Two stages of providing information:First stage: One way > just consuming informationSecond stage: Two ways > consuming and creating information

Mobile “Viewing” – the dependencies

Sources of Information and how to access them

What is your “single” source of truthSimple filesTeamcenterERPOthers

Direction of information flowOne direction for consuming informationBi-directional for consuming and creating information

ConnectivityOnline (Wifi/3G) > in the sheds/in the metallic hull/onboard during service/abroadOffline > with locally synchronised data)

Mobile “Viewing” – the dependencies

And the “real” IT stuff

HardwareGraphics performanceHardware Integration (BYOD?/OS?)Display size/resolution/brightnessIntegrated flashlight for taking picturesSensors (GPS/Motion/Camera/Microfone)

SoftwareGraphical user interface must support touch operationsLicense Management

Data SecurityLocally stored data versus server based solutionsAccess control depending of user/place/time/…

Mobile “Viewing” – two possibilities from Siemens

Active Workspace

Lightweight, browser-based Teamcenter ClientFor every information saved in TeamcenterOnly onlineOnly for data saved in TeamcenterHTML5 > no dependencies to OSGraphical user interface fits for touch operations3D graphics are rendered on a server
