Energy Consumptions

Excessive energy consumption has become a worldwide issue in today's design and manufacturing industry. An energy estimation framework that could later be used to integrate with CAD/CAM systems is in demand. This research develops a novel pattern to estimate energy consumptions. The pattern involves a software energy estimation framework and various software energy computational tools. Using this pattern, energy can be calculated by an energy estimation framework which can be attached with diverse energy computational tools. These computational tools can be designed for any purpose to calculate energy consumptions during a product life-cycle and for various manufacturing processes. The framework involved in this pattern features to be domain independent and flexible so that it will be expandable for different manufacturing domains and customizable for users. Details for developing such pattern are presented. Interaction between the framework and its computational tools is also discussed. With help of this pattern, energy estimation framework and energy computational tools can interact smoothly, and the development of computational tools can be extended or expanded for any purpose. Knowledge engineers who exert to integrate knowledge into computer systems can interpret domain-specific knowledge and share their expertise to improve the framework. The framework also assists users who have little knowledge about energy computations to estimate energy consumptions during the design stage, leading to products with reduced energy.

The Impact

The product life cycle energy consumption model was established considering the impact of remanufacturing on the product lifecycle, and the energy consumption quantitative method was given. In order to optimize the life of a product, a method to calculate its life cycle critical point was proposed. The energy consumption model was applied to two types of gearboxes, new and remanufactured, to compare their life cycle energy, and the energy-saving design scheme optimization was achieved.

Life Cycle Design

Any product, including optical devices, during its existence goes through a series of states from the idea of creation to disposal, which is called the product life cycle. Design is a complex and creative process of a specialist (designer), invariant to various types and complexity of devices. Designing requires the designer to in addition to special, subject-specific knowledge, as well as knowledge of the methodology, tools and rules for the implementation of project procedures. Modern design of optical devices is carried out in a software environment, the so-called the system of information support of the product life cycle, which makes it necessary for students to master the appropriate software.

Digraph And Matrix Approach

An evaluation procedure for product life-cycle design at the conceptual stage is presented using a digraph and matrix approach. Life-cycle design attributes are identified and used to evaluate a life-cycle design index. The ideal value of this index is also obtained, which is useful in assessing the relative life-cycle design value of product design alternatives. A step-by-step procedure for the evaluation of the life-cycle design index is presented and illustrated by means of two examples.

Companies require tools to change towards a new way of developing and producing innovative products to be manufactured considering the economic, social and environmental impact along the product life cycle. Based on translating Lean principles in Product Development (PD) from the design stage and, along the entire product life cycle, it is aimed to address both sustainability and environmental issues. The drivers of sustainable culture within a lean PD have been identified and a baseline for future research on the development of appropriate tools and techniques has been provided. This research provide industry with a framework which balance environmental and sustainable factors with lean principles to be considered and incorporated from the beginning of product design and development covering the entire product lifecycle.

In The Beginning

In order to maintain and increase the competitiveness of European companies in the advent of the emerging digital economy and smart organizations, the use of modern information technologies and standards among all agents involved in the furniture product life cycle and business has to be considered (Jardim-Gonçalves, Panetto, Nuñez, & Steiger-Garcao, 2006a). funStep is a community setup in the late 1990s with the support of the European Commission that implements an European research strategy for better interoperability in smart organizations (funStep, 2005). Starting in the beginning of the 21st century, the SMART-fm is an IMS project entitled “A standards-compliant framework to support complete integrated product life-cycle information management and electronic commerce for the furniture manufacturing industry, in the advent of smart enterprises” (IMS, 2006). The main objective of the SMART-fm project is to research, develop, and demonstrate in industrial environments, an interoperable open standardsbased framework that supports smart environments through the complete product life cycle in the furniture manufacturing industry. This article presents the strategic objectives of the SMART-fm project as a case study to stimulate and accelerate SMEs to adopt technologies and practices in the emerging digital economy, extended enterprises, and intelligent services. It concludes by anticipating the strategic results that funStep will deliver for the next decade.

Posner’s (1961) “technological gap theory” and Vernon’s (1966) “product life cycle theory” predicts that innovation causes market power and facilitates export. In other side export encourages firms and provides more affirmative environment for innovative processes. These theoretical approaches have different predictions regarding the direction of causality between export and innovation. Using Two-Step System Generalized Moments of Method this study investigates causality relationship between export intensity and R&D intensity for the period 2008-2013 in Turkish Manufacturing Industry. Causality relationship was modeled within two different equations and analyzed by Wald Test. First equation models export intensity as function of R&D intensity and real exchange rate. In the second equation R&D intensity estimated as a function of export intensity and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index as competition variable. Causality test results show that there is unidirectional causal relationship from R&D intensity to export intensity. This finding supports the predictions of Posner’s (1961) “technological gap theory” and Vernon’s (1966) “product life cycle theory” related to the innovation and export relationship in Turkish Manufacturing Industry.

Excessive energy consumption has become a worldwide issue in today’s design and manufacturing industry. A framework for estimating energy consumption that could later be used to integrate with CAD/CAM systems is in demand. This paper initially presents needs and requirements for a computational framework to estimate energy consumption during a product life-cycle, i.e., from extraction of raw materials to recycling or disposal. Energy estimations allow for asset management, thereby reducing the negative impacts of the product to the environment. At the manufacturing stage, asset management can be based on energy efficient process planning and scheduling. As a first step, the research presented in this paper proposes a framework that represents a generic shell for computing energy.
