Knowledge-based environment to support product design validation

A Knowledge Based Environment Knowledge-Based Environment to Support Product Design Validation of Refresh Projects (projects with minor changes in respect to previous ones) has been developed on Teamcenter Platform (PLM software). Refresh Projects are around 60% of the total number of projects in the sponsoring company. This implementation will avoid repeating unnecessary and costly physical pr...

Knowledge based engineering to support complex product design

In the current design process of complex products, such as aircraft, road vehicles, etc. (as well as their subsystems and related manufacturing hardware), there is a strong imbalance between the time absorbed by lengthy and repetitive activities and the limited time left for the investigation of multiple and innovative configurations, and what-if scenarios. From one side the market requires pro...

Knowledge Discovery to Support Product Family Design

Abstract Sharing and reusing product design knowledge can help reduce cost and lead time when developing new products and facilitate product family design. Knowledge associated with product design can be represented by combining constraints, functions, rules, and facts. An appropriate representation scheme for products and their design is important to share and reuse the knowledge effectively. ...

A knowledge management framework to support product-service systems design

This paper presents a framework for knowledge reuse in a Product-Service Systems design scenario. The project aim is to develop a methodology to capture, represent and reuse knowledge to support product development in a collaborative enterprise context. The three core elements are: design knowledge, manufacturing capability knowledge, and service knowledge. There are three principal components ...
