SWS has officially launched its Digital Twin Shipyard 1.0, a groundbreaking platform that establishes a real-time digital replica of its physical operations. By building on a unified digital foundation, SWS is transforming data into actionable insights and model-driven decisions, injecting intelligence across the entire shipbuilding process and elevating industry standards. 

The core of the digital twin system is a versatile unified map base that integrates multiple visualization modes: 2D maps for precise plant layout and operational oversight, 3D maps offering immersive spatial experiences of workshops, equipment, and ship blocks, and tech-styled maps that highlight key business data and dynamic indicators. These integrated visualization tools form a comprehensive digital sandbox, enabling full-process tracking from production to installation and breaking down traditional information silos.

Through deep application of digital twin technology, SWS achieves precise control over ship construction: pre-emptive simulation of block placement and lifting paths for optimal resource allocation, intelligent scheduling of dock and pier resources to maximize utilization, real-time synchronization between physical workshops and their digital counterparts, and automated management of steel yards and warehouses for end-to-end material tracking. Safety remains the foremost priority. The digital twin platform establishes an all-round safety prevention system through: electronic fencing with early warning capabilities, dynamic monitoring of high-risk zones and full tracking of hazardous operations. This shifts traditional safety management from passive response to active prevention, safeguarding personnel and ensuring stable production.

Looking ahead, SWS continues to deepen its digital twin applications by integrating next-generation simulation engines with high-precision rendering and real-time interaction. The scope of the Digital Twin Shipyard is expanding from workshop-level to plant-wide coverage, enabling real-time mapping of equipment, logistics, and personnel. In the future, the platform will extend beyond production to include supply chain management, ship design, and marketing, providing full lifecycle data support and strengthening the company’s overall competitiveness. With digital innovation driving transformation in shipbuilding, SWS is laying a solid foundation for high-quality development in marine equipment manufacturing.
