客户介绍－SAMIN Information System Co.

Established in 2006 and based in Korea, SAMIN Information System is a leading provider of dimensional accuracy control and erection forecasting simulation systems for the Asian shipbuilding industry, specifically the major Korean and Chinese shipyards.

The Company estimates it has 25-30% market share in the Erection Forecasting Simulation System market and 13-14% market share in the Accuracy Control System market. SAMIN’s product line includes EcoMES, EcoBLOCK, and EcoOTS for shipbuilding production, and EcoVIEWER and EcoPINJIG for shipbuilding design.

SAMIN’s EcoBLOCK is a 3D-based block accuracy control system that interfaces with shipbuilding 3D CAD systems such as AVEVA MARINE, Tribon, CADDS, ERSPD, ShipConstructor, and AutoCAD. Using EcoMES and Total Station, blocks (composed of several steel plates and sections with various sizes and shapes) in production are accurately measured and compared with imported design models created with 3D CAD systems to easily and accurately analyze any errors. Using the analyzed output from the EcoBLOCK, a modification method is derived for any blocks that need correction through cutting and rearing. The output is used to produce blocks that accurately meet ship owner’s requirements.

SAMIN’s EcoOTS is the world’s first 3D based erection simulation system for accurate erection analysis in a short period of time. Particularly, One Time Setting (OTS) is an advanced technology that analyzes and predicts erection state to find any gaps or overlaps of blocks prior to erection. Any error detected blocks, are adjusted prior to actual erection allowing for a single erection to be completed for any job. EcoOTS technology reduces the erection period significantly, which shortens the overall shipbuilding period. This enables companies to maximize productivity while minimizing resources to complete ships more quickly and economically, achieving a competitive edge in today’s shipbuilding industry.

The Asian shipyards use design systems specifically developed for building large, complex ships and offshore vessels. These 3D design programs are typically based on Spatial’s ACIS kernel, therefore SAMIN utilizes ACIS 3D modeling kernel and HOOPS application framework as the best solution for its 3D accuracy control system.

The EcoBLOCK and EcoOTS software were ready for market in early 2008, initially introduced at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding in China. The successful launch of SAMIN’s technology quickly opened the doors of many other Asian shipbuilding yards.
