From moving plans from paper to tablets to augmented-reality goggles to seeing design schematics superimposed on the bulkhead in front of workers, Huntington-Ingalls is investing enormous capital to capture the benefits of digital technologies.

Whether placing a weld in the wrong place or threading an electrical cable through conduits to the wrong destination, mistakes in shipbuilding are extremely costly and time-consuming to correct. Such tools do not replace the skilled craftsmen.

As CFO Chris Kastner noted, “Each of your crafts — electrical, pipefitting, pipe welding, painting, your riggers… still require some human touch. Digital tools… free the craftsman up a bit to not do the grunt work.”
