MARITIME 4.0: SUPPORTING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN SHIPBUILDING AND SHIPPING
3
Maritime 4.0 brings the fourth industrial revolution to the maritime sector
and leads to the increased digitalization of this industry, especially in ship-
building. This digitalization helps to construct ships more effectively, to
build them at a reasonable price, and to enable more precise maintenance.
Ships are complex vehicles, and the more particular they are the more
intricate or unique they become. IT solutions help to accompany the
life cycle of the ship, and the better these tools are coordinated, the
more effectively they support the user. AR applications for service and
maintenance and web-based visualizations of design and construction
data function as examples of solutions in visual computing.
Rely on leading state-of-the-art of visual computing!

DIGITAL VALUE CHAIN
BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERTISE WITH DIGITAL ASSESTS
3D data in the life cycle
Digital data are an essential part of the maritime industry in the
age of Maritime 4.0. Using the newest technologies in visual
computing, we develop solutions for 3D data in the life cycle of a
ship. Most notably, our expertise lies in the areas of:
�� Modeling or 3D capturing real objects
�� Managing and processing digital data
�� Interactively working with big data sets (3D and other)
With Maritime 4.0 solutions, the use of data is
efficient – flexible – individual
Competence
For over 20 years, we have been standing
for top performance in computer graphics at
the location in Rostock, Germany. This high
standard is ensured by our integration in the
Fraunhofer competence network.
Customer orientation
Personal customer contact is the basis for
our customized and application-oriented
project work. We aim to achieve long-term
success for you and your customers.
Creativity
Our close networking with science and
business ensures the development of new
ideas and concepts. We will support you in
defining your digital innovation.

Analysis – In a personal meeting or workshop on site, we will
analyze your needs. Together with you, we will then compile all
required information, define goals and any resulting need for action.
Conception – Together with you, we will evaluate all required
work steps, efforts and information. On this basis, we will
conceptualize customized solutions.
Design – Based on our powerful platforms and toolkits, we will
implement your individual solutions in line with certified quality
standards and the latest research findings.
Support – We will launch the designed solution together with you,
train your employees and support your company in the long term.
OUR OFFER
INCORPORATE YOUR REQUIREMENTS IN OUR OFFER
Development and production
Shipyards are under enormous time and cost
pressure. In particular specialty shipbuilding
requires efficient processes to meet very
tight time and cost limits. Errors must be
detected early or better yet avoided. All
customer wishes must be fulfilled and high
standards must be observed in terms of
product quality.
To this end, we offer special know-how
such as high-quality visualization, visual
data analysis and special image processing.
We combine 3D models with interactive
simulations. In doing so, we rely on tried
and tested digital libraries. We professionally
specialize in shipbuilding and draw on years
of industry expertise.

YOUR BENEFITIntegrate – We will combine your different IT systems and
data sources and connect your processes with your suppliers
and partners.
Visualize – Your data will be clearly visualized by means of
state-of-the-art technologies. It will become easier for you and
your employees to keep track, ensure quality and make the right
decisions.
Interact – Handling data will become simple and intuitive. Be it
inside the meeting room, at the building dock, or on board the
ship, you will have direct access to all relevant information and
will be able to work efficiently even with big data.
FROM INITIAL IDEA TO DAILY USE
Operation and maintenance
Vessels must be in continuous operation due
to high cost pressure. Furthermore, all systems
should be in error-free operation to avoid
damages on the ship, cargo, crew and envi-
ronment. Therefore a crew must be prepared
to perform any maintenance operation on
complex special purpose vessels, even if the
next authorized repair shop is still far away.
Even during the operation of a ship, more and
more digital data is produced regarding the
weather, the state of ship systems, or logistical
processes. This data can be efficiently and se-
curely administrated, analyzed, and evaluated
with the help of special big data and visual
analytics methods that have been created for
the maritime industry.

Our networksWe are active in networks to advance the maritime industry in terms of technology. They serve an intensive exchange between research and practice.
3Dmaritim is a forum which continues to pursue the dialog with companies in order to adapt 3D technology for the maritime sector.
Center of Maritime Technologies (CMT)plans and coordinates research and develop-ment projects of the maritime industry on a national and European level.
Maritime Cluster of Northern Germany (MCN)promotes networking among the various players in the maritime industry in the five federal states of Northern Germany.
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is Europe’s largest institution for
applied research and promotes the technology transfer between
basic research and industry. As a research service provider, it
supports companies through the continuous development of new
and improved technologies up to their marketability. Fraunhofer
researchers are identifying new technologies, adapting them and
introducing them into practice by means of customized solutions.
Fraunhofer IGD is an institute specialized in visual computing.
Visual computing is image- and model-based computer science
dealing with the questions of how information is gained from
images (computer vision) and information can be represented in
images (computer graphics).
