This webinar explores how digital assistance systems can improve productivity and information provision in shipbuilding. Prof. Hermann Lödding (Institute of Production Management and Technology, TUHH) contrasts one-off shipbuilding with mass production and explains why information overload is a particular challenge in shipyards. The talk covers concrete applications: mobile assistance systems that replace conventional instructions and drawings, smart hand tools for process documentation, AR-based worker assistance for the maintenance of maritime components, and digital twins that link planning, production, and service.
Prof. Hermann Lödding is a professor and the Head of the Institute of Production Management and Technology at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), Germany. His research focuses on Production Planning and Control, Productivity Management, and Digital Assistance Systems. Prior to joining TUHH, he worked in industry for Robert Bosch GmbH. He is a member of IFIP Working Group 5.7, the German Academic Association for Production Technology, and the Academic Society for Work and Industrial Organization.
