Shipdex Newsletter: Rolls-Royce Marine announcement


Rolls-Royce Marine announcement

Rolls-Royce
Marine has successfully implemented Shipdex as the data standard for
its S series Kamewa Waterjets and associated Control Systems.

The S
series Kamewa Waterjets and associated Control Systems are produced in
Kristinehamn, Sweden.  They are the first Rolls-Royce Marine products to
adopt the Shipdex standard.  The Installation Manual and Operating and
Maintenance Manual data is created according to the specification and an
S1000D Common Source DataBase (CSDB) is used to manage and publish the
data.  The specification allows for a high degree of reusability of data
even though the final published output is very customer specific.

At
present the final published output is in pdf, but the adoption of
Shipdex opens exciting possibilities for both Rolls-Royce Marine and its
customers.  In the future Rolls-Royce will have the ability to deliver
an Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP) or complete a
data exchange with its customer. 

If the customer opts for a data
exchange, they will be able to load the data into their own Publishing
and/or Maintenance Management System.
