Life Cycle Wide Data Visions
In the rapidly evolving field of engineering, the importance of data governance across the entire lifecycle of a product cannot be overstated. The keynote presentation, "Life Cycle Wide Data Visions," delves into the transformative impact of digital twins on data management from conceptual design to decommissioning. As products progress through various stages—conceptual design, detailed design, manufacturing, installation, operation, and finally, decommissioning—their digital twins evolve correspondingly, embodying unique 'Data Visions' at each phase. These visions are not static but dynamic, adapting and integrating the myriad of external data streams such as environmental conditions, geographical changes, and operational contexts. This presentation explores how these sophisticated digital twins, through their continuous transformation and interaction with external data, serve as crucial decision-making tools.

AI in Ship Life Cycle
The lecture titled "AI in Ship Lifecycle" for the Indian Maritime University on February 9, 2024, will explore the innovative application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in managing the life cycle of ships. This presentation focuses on leveraging AI to enhance decision-making in ship design, operation, and maintenance. It includes an in-depth look at developing a digital twin of a ship, utilizing a knowledge graph database for semantic information storage, and employing deep learning for advanced decision-making. The session will also cover the evolution and impact of the MA-CAD method, emphasizing its role in minimizing costs and risks in maritime operations.
