Supporting inspection activities through robotic systems

Carry out a feasibility study for the adoption of autonomous inspection and monitoring systems for shipyard areas and on board ship. These tools will be used to perform their tasks in high-risk or difficult-to-access areas for personnel or for the automation of low value-added tasks

2023

Group

 Achieved

Development and operation of 3 prototypes such as: quadrupeds or rovers equipped with sensors for monitoring activities, drones for inspection to analyse accessibility of high-risk areas

2025

 Achieved

In 2024, ahead of the target time horizon of 2025, three prototype robotic inspection support systems were developed. These tools will be used to perform their tasks in areas that are high-risk or difficult-to-access for personnel or to automate low-value-added tasks. In particular, two prototypes are based on the use of Automated guided vehicle (AGV) rovers, platforms mainly used in industry to facilitate the movement of material.
The prototypes developed provide for: the automated and planned transport of material, the automated on-demand transport of material and the use of drones for welding inspections.

Increasing the level of control over the cyber risk exposure of the product supply chain

Activation of an audit plan on cyber risk exposure from systems belonging to a pool of 20 suppliers, representing 90% of the cruise business's cyber-critical systems as per IACS UR E26 standard

 Achieved

In line with the objective of increasing the level of control over the cyber risk exposure of the supply chain, a cyber maturity assessment plan of suppliers was initiated. At an operational level, during 2024, the questionnaire used for these audits was integrated into the supplier survey platform adopted by Fincantieri, allowing the Vendor Due Diligence cyber procedure to be launched. This activity was first carried out on an experimental basis on 20 suppliers and was later extended to approximately 7,000 users. To date, 464 suppliers have been surveyed, including 55 representing 90%8 of the cruise business cyber-critical systems, in line with the IACS UR E26 standard.
