With the development of information technology and the progress of science and technology, electrical automation has been widely used in the shipbuilding industry, and the use of perfect network system to control and manage the ship, thus improving the efficiency of the shipbuilding industry. The development of the network can not only make the digitalization more obvious, but also reflect its ability to control and process the image, and realize the operation of the ship in the mode of man-machine combination. In addition, the work intensity of the staff has been reduced a lot, and its work efficiency has been improved.

With the application of electrical automation in the Marine industry, people began to pay attention to it, so that the Marine industry in the development of electrical automation on the road to develop more smoothly. Many companies are starting to develop more high-end electrification equipment to guarantee its performance and reduce its cost as much as possible. In this way, the use of electrical automation to control the ship will not only become more convenient, but also bring a technological revolution for the development of the Marine industry, so that electric propulsion and other equipment has been greatly developed.

To sum up, in the course of sailing, the most important thing is the safety issue, and the geographical environment, weather, magnetic field, etc., can affect the sailing direction of the ship. In order to minimize the interference of these factors, electrical automation began to be applied to ship navigation, which not only ensures the safety of the ship but also helps save costs, thus providing a more solid foundation for the development of the ship industry.
