With the rapid development of industrial informationization, the technological revolution represented by intelligent manufacturing is gradually subverting the traditional labor-intensive shipbuilding industry. It not only brings lower labor costs, higher product quality, but also greatly reduce the periods of shipbuilding. The era that shipbuilding enterprise’s competitiveness is largely depend on labor costs will never go back. Compare with the rapid development of foreign shipbuilding in intelligent shipbuilding, the upgrade of Chinese shipbuilding enterprises is obviously lagging behind, among them, the manufacture of ship curved block is the most outstanding, it still stays in the manual operation stage that relies on a large amount of manual operation. Therefore, the reformation of the curved block workshop is of great significance to Chinese shipbuilding enterprises. This paper use the subassembly Flow-Line of curved panel as a breakthrough to upgrade the curved block production, and by means of simulation technology, verifies the rationality and feasibility of the curved block assembly shop after transformation.
