In terms of the problems that the equipment failure alarm is not timely, the data circulation and transmission speed is slow, the operation reliability is poor, etc., in the current intelligent workshop of hull section based on Manufacturing Execution System, a kind of intelligent workshop system of hull section based on the distributed autonomous collaborative manufacturing is proposed. The distributed autonomous collaborative manufacturing is outlined, the overall architecture,and operation mechanism,etc.of intelligent workshop of hull section are introduced, the intelligent workshop system of hull section based on the distributed autonomous collaborative manufacturing is designed, and the key technology involved in realizing the distributed autonomous collaborative manufacturing of intelligent workshop of hull section is proposed, which provides a new reference method for the ship manufacturing enterprises to build the intelligent manufacturing workshop.
