Cloud-Based RF-Inspection for Ship Maintenance

Abstract

Smart work services can help to reduce work time and help to remove irrational processes in the process of product management, by providing proper information promptly. To make the smart work environment, the system has to be in a data-driven manner so that the data can keep its consistency. Preexisting data acquisition method in inspection job is almost based on documents or handover from other engineers. However, sometimes it produces inconsistent data which is different from updated information and it leads to potential risk factors. To prevent and reduce inconstant information between users and updated information, this paper suggests radio-frequency identification device (RFID) and cloud technology.

Exploring the intention to use cloud services in collaboration contexts among Taiwan’s private vocational students

“…Cloud services intrinsically are a kind of cloud computing technology which delivers hardware and software resources placed in datacenters as services, so they refer to services that are provided over the Internet through cloud computing (Lee, Lee and Kim, 2013). By using such services, users can easily use various software applications such as file hosting (e.g., Dropbox) or word processing (e.g., Google Docs) via the Internet.…”

“…Cloud services have recently attracted considerable attention in educational settings due to their great promise for supporting collaboration (Huang, Wang, Guo, Shih and Chen, 2013;Rahimi, van den Berg and Veen, 2015;Tan and Kim, 2011). Cloud services intrinsically are a kind of cloud computing technology which delivers hardware and software resources placed in datacenters as services, so they refer to services that are provided over the Internet through cloud computing (Lee, Lee and Kim, 2013). By using such services, users can easily use various software applications such as file hosting (e.g., Dropbox) or word processing (e.g., Google Docs) via the Internet.…”

Toward Digitalization of Maritime Transport?

“…Two works were found on applications to port management [ 103 , 104 ]. An additional one [ 100 ] is a cloud application to ship design and shipbuilding (more specifically, to the inspection process). The last two are works on shipping; a work to develop an implementation plan for a maritime cloud [ 101 ] and an another on fog-based communications [ 102 ].…”

“…Lee et al [ 100 ] designed a cloud-based system for the ship inspection process based on data capture from RFIDs. Their work explained the applicability of the proposed method to existing inspection/maintenance systems, thereby offering a systematic solution and providing a working technology demonstration of the approach.…”
