About FORAN
FORAN is a totally integrated computer system specifically developed for
design and construction of ships. It comprises several main packages (hull
form definition, naval architecture, hull structure, outfitting, electrical,
accommodation), a number of common modules (build strategy, drafting,
walk-through design review, collaborative engineering), links with
production equipment (cutting machines, bending machines, robotic systems,
etc.), interfaces to management systems and its own integrated development
environment.
Running on Windows workstations connected through LAN or WAN, FORAN
permits a fully interactive and concurrent definition of the ship 3D product
model. The most recent design information is available in Oracle database
for designers of a wide range of complementary disciplines. When designing
each ship part or each sub-assembly, their production processes are defined
too, thus enabling the generation of custom-made, accurate and
well-organized information for workshops (drawings, material lists and
direct input to production systems), with the highest level of automation.
The current user base of the FORAN System consists of over 130 shipyards
and design offices located in 27 countries.
