However, there are some limitations in the application of virtual reality simulation technology in the field of ship port mechanical forging. For example, at present, the cost of this technology is high, and it is difficult to popularize. In addition, the real-time performance and interactivity of virtual reality simulation technology still need to be improved.
Taking the manufacturing of ship port machinery forgings in a large shipbuilding enterprise as an example, virtual reality simulation technology is introduced to simulate the whole process of product design, production and testing. In product design, the structure and performance of forgings are simulated and analyzed by virtual simulation technology, which avoids design defects, reduces the workload of late modification and reduces the cost. In production, virtual reality technology is used to simulate the entire production process, optimize the production plan and resource allocation, and improve the production efficiency and quality. At the same time, by simulating the running state of the equipment, the predictive maintenance and overhaul of the equipment are realized, and the failure rate of the equipment is reduced. In the staff training, the use of virtual reality technology for staff skills training, improve the staff’s skill level and production safety awareness. The application of this technology has brought significant economic and social benefits to the enterprise, and also provides a beneficial exploration for the digital transformation of the shipbuilding industry.
The virtual reality simulation technology of mechanical forgings in ship harbors has wide application prospect and important practical value. It can not only optimize product design, improve production efficiency, reduce costs and ensure safety, but also improve the market competitiveness of enterprises. However, there are still some limitations in the application of this technology. In the future development, with the continuous progress of technology and the reduction of costs, it is believed that the application of virtual reality simulation technology in the field of ship port mechanical forging manufacturing will be more and more extensive.
