Description (French)
Développer des améliorations pour obtenir un SCMS (système de contrôle et de surveillance des navires) marin fonctionnant parfaitement, souhaité pour les navires de taille moyenne tels que les patrouilleurs semi-hauturiers (43 mètres) de la Garde côtière canadienne, ainsi que pour les réaménagements plus importants tels que les brise-glaces (120 mètres) et tout ce qui se trouve entre les deux. Notre jumeau numérique est entièrement fonctionnel, mais il sera amélioré pour correspondre au SCMS mis à jour et, ce qui est encore plus intéressant pour nos clients (d’après les consultations avec les clients actuels et potentiels), il intégrera des capacités complètes de dépannage et de maintenance prédictive. Le projet nous permettra également de mieux étudier et concevoir les processus de planification, d’installation et de mise en service afin d’en améliorer l’efficacité.
