Abstract
Although Industry 4.0 is a widespread word and is expected to be found everywhere, a deeper look shows that, depending on the application, its entire implementation throughout manufacturing is finite and has enormous potential for higher levels of integration.
Many complex parts and components are still fabricated and checked manually by workers, especially in large-scale components and vessels; these processes are far beyond digitalised input. With a specific pilot case in mind, the authors work on an approach to include data and implement this knowledge to digitalise the manufacturing process. Therefore, input data (e.g., requirements from the manufacturer, technical constraints, CAD files) are collected and allocated, and the fabrication status is checked.
This paper focuses on a digital mapping for the manufacturing of large-scale components to receive a digital thread, particularly an oil and gas piping vessel (industrial pilot case). The goal is to visualise a target-performance comparison for quality checking to locate missing auxiliary components and fabrication deviations. The individual steps shall be listed, connected and cross-linked to have a digital thread of the until now still manual process.
