On July 8, China's first intelligent dual-use ship, the "Xin Hongzhuan," was named and delivered in Dalian, Liaoning.

The ship employs a life cycle management system that leverages 3D models, drawings and other design to create a visual interface. This system also provides trend analysis and prediction of the ship's status through automatic data collection and monitoring of hull stress and vibration. Additionally, it provides access to the project's information management, from construction to shipment, through the visual interface. The intelligent platform is scalable and equipped with a completely open data interface program, facilitating access to other systems, enabling the development and test of software applications. It also serves as a test platform.

In comparison to traditional vessels, the ship is outfitted with an intelligent lab and a multimedia room, addressing the need of researchers and students alike. Furthermore, the digital twin technology enables virtual training such as electric propulsion, integrated automation, ship intelligence, and more.
