(SSC) Seafaring Standardized Coding
THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE
1.) The intended purpose of the Seafaring Standardized Coding (SSC) is that by following closely (but adapting in non-overlap areas) with the aircraft industry’s ATA coding, we can simplify and overlap maintenance and operations of aircraft and seafaring activities so that mechanics and other entities can easily move between platforms and understand the documentation and procedures.
2.) Along the lines of the ATA, the SSC will have a two digit number that represents the major category that is being described, followed by another two digit number representing the sub-category. Any additions to or changes thereof of the major and sub-categories should be completed through the maintaining organization (that being Marcus Gilliland, for the time being). Another two sets of two digits, maintained by manufacturers, can be used for further classifications of models, sub-sub-catagories, so on as required by the manufacturers. If commonalities are found in the third set of digits, standardization of those can be included later.
3.) The benefits of SSC coding:
-
Quick, reliable lookup of documentation for the various systems used on Seafaring Equipment.
-
Logical classification of parts so that those parts that can be found only in one system can be stored according to that system.
-
Speed up troubleshooting as the guides and schematics will be located per the SSC and parts and wiring in the systems will be labeled per the SSC.
-
IOT communication, by using a standard library, many data transmissions can be reduced in size. Only the minimal libraries will have to be stored on the sensor/control controllers, with larger libraries as required for MQTT translation or at the user interfaces.
