Improve Operations, Reduce Costs, Deliver on Schedule

Shipyards are massive and complex operations with limited space requiring extreme accuracy and perfect timing.

Bottlenecks and disruptions can lead to missed deadlines, excess cost, and smaller margins

Meet Shipyard AI. An accurate, intelligent, flexible, automated tool that streamlines production flows and optimizes capacity planning and scheduling.

The Challenges Facing Shipyards Today

Controlling all these challenges can require weeks of labor-intensive planning

With Shipyard AI, weeks become minutes, and scheduling and capacity challenges are eliminated.

Automated and Flexible Shipyard Planning

With Shipyard AI, you can:

  • Publish laydown maps and schedules
  • See where items will be located over time
  • Proactively plan capacity
  • Develop options for early or late unit completion
  • Keep operations efficient and on time
  • Provide visibility to key stakeholders
  • Visualize multiple production lines and potential results

From Weeks to Minutes

With Shipyard AI, it only takes a few days to analyze the impact of new ships, designs, and yard changes—and hours to develop alternative plans and predict the impact across the yard.

And while capturing, analyzing, and communicating capacity changes used to take a week or more, they can now be done instantaneously.

Article from the Signal featuring Ingalls Shipbuilding

“The new BigBear.ai tool has taken a process that historically took 10 weeks to complete and can now finish the scheduling activity in less than an hour…Ingalls expects to reduce 'real estate' allocation processing time by 30% and place 20 more units 'under cover' annually, with an estimated cost savings of over $990K per year.”
