This country's economically depressed shipbuilding industry is seeking to modernize facilities to improve its competitiveness. The feasibility of using future robotic arc welding systems to help achieve this goal is explored. A general survey of shipyard activities was made to identify areas of potential robot application. Based on this study and information on current research, ship flat panel assembly was identified as a potential application area requiring additional attention. A flat panel assembly line was modelled for the production of tanker panels and analyzed for various robotic arc welding systems. Cost projections were made to assess the potential economic benefits for the required productive capacity of each alternative. It was concluded that flat panel assembly has some economic potential for the introduction of robotic arc welding and recommended that further exploration of this and other applications be undertaken.
