SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRYIntegrated software to control part fabrication and block assembly NESTIX SHIP is an integrated software solution to control part fabrication and block assembly NESTIX SHIP system supports the whole block Ship design system production process starting from ship design results and continuing through part production until completed block assembly. This production oriented data system controls all part ERP material fabrication and welding assembly work phases. The sys- Design Interface tem contains also all the work preparation and part nes- ting functions in an integrated software package, thus Assembly structure differing from traditional ERP systems.
