Benchmarking

Your Company has a long Legacy of having built about 800 ships of various types. Over the year Quality inspection procedure have evolved to suit the latest construction methodology for Ships & Submarine.

Presently a three tier Quality Management System comprising of self-Inspection by the Production Quality Team constituted from the best qualified executives/ operatives/ staff followed by inspection from QA department and finally by the customer rep (WOT/THIRD PARTY) leaves no scope for any error post completion of any process. The non-conformity management with three level monitoring and advising does not allow any anomaly to remain un-attended/un-resolved.

SQC section is involved in various inspection & trial activities right from raw material stage such as steel plates & profiles inspection, skid inspections, unit dry survey and its dimensional inspections, pressure testing of tanks/ compartments/ systems and inspections pertaining to outfitting, blasting, painting, insulation, HVAC Balancing, Citadel, Habitability for warships along with electrical inspection for merchant ship as per required standard and design detail.

Project Frigate Ships are being built for the very first time as per the "Integrated Construction (IC)" methodology which differs in the very concept of warship building by way of adoption of the modern technology where the blocks are pre-outfitted at different locations before joining to reduce the build period of warships.

a. Implementation of PDM/PLM:

Quality Management and product Lifecycle Management (PLM) are both proven tools that help companies improve quality and profitability.

All activities for Project Frigate especially the inspection process, except those whose design module upload is in progress, are being managed through PLM which offers potential cost savings and simplicity of a single system. It is creating opportunity to consolidate and integrate information and perhaps more importantly it will provide the quality assurance, compliance, and customer satisfaction. All basic QIP & one project QAP has been converted into PDM/ PLM format with their relevant context parameter.

b. Speeding of inspection Process through process documentation:

SQC section upgraded and documented the Inspection process of HVAC balancing which leads to less rejections and reworks at Harbor acceptance trial (HATS) of ongoing projects. It helped clear the higher percentage of HVAC balancing inspection at first attempt within stipulated time. This modification helped the ship to go on for 3 or 4 days trials by combining various inspections. This helped us in timely delivery of first Destroyer. For second Destroyer too already 89% of the total 150 HVAC systems has been cleared. This has tremendously helped ship trial team for easy and smooth on going sea sortie of the second Destroyer.

c. Copper Sulphate Test:

The steel plates and profiles are susceptible to rusting or corrosion in open environment. To avoid this, they are blasted with abrasives and painted with one coat of primer to avoid corrosion or rusting. Blasted surface is to be tested for presence of mill scales by performing the copper sulphate test. A proper working procedure is derived to establish the composition of required normalized solution by mixing of copper sulphate pentahydrate crystal, H2SO4 & distilled water with the required proportion. Copper sulphate test determines presence of any

Once mature, this system will enable us to reduce the use of conventional RT in many folds.

AI enabled Remotely Operated Vehicle: This product can be used for under water inspection of hull and marine structures. Various categories of defects observed can be reported through the AI enablement.

f) Advanced testing and research lab in the field of material testing and failure analysis is available at MDL.

g) Automation in welding with robotic hybrid laser welding.

Copper sulphate solution is prepared and applied on the steel surface. The chemical reaction causes deposition of copper on the surface which indicates that the surface is free from the mill scales.

d. MEGA BLOCK and IC Inspection:

Inspection carried out for Integrated construction / Block Inspection of Project Frigate and Project Destroyer including Hull and Engineering has improved in various levels of build plan. More complex and lengthy activities like seats, sea tubes, piping, systems take more time on berth than compared to the shop level. Many such work were carried out in parallel right from the unit level in a decentralized way. Material, space, manpower and time all have been saved due to integrated block construction methodology. The major activities of shaft sighting and installation of shaft which used to take almost six months to complete, were achieved within a span of 2 months by innovative method.

e. AI Enabled Inspections

MDL in partnership with IIT Madras, Chennai(IITM) has designed and developed three ARTIFICIAL INTELEGANCE enabled products:

1. AI enabled Computerized radiography.

2. AI enabled advance phase array ultrasonic testing(APAUT).

3. AI enabled Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)

These products are being developed for improved quality assurance of weld with less time, less labour consumption and higher efficiency. Both the products are safer than the conventional methods in many ways. With data migration they will become more smart & can altogether replace Y(gamma) Rays / X-Rays.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled weld inspection with computerized radiography has been frequently utilized for all the 14 mm test plate radiography. The results are visible as it has reduced the cost of film drastically by reusing the imaging plate in place of hundreds of films. Gradually this benefit will transfer for all the range of thickness.
