Lifecycle Management

The past three decades have seen phenomenal growth in investments in the area of product lifecycle management (PLM) as companies exploit opportunities in streamlining product lifecycle processes, and fully harnessing their data assets. These processes span all product lifecycle phases from requirements definition, systems design/ analysis, and simulation, detailed design, manufacturing planning, production planning, quality management, customer support, in-service management, and end-of-life recycling. Initiatives ranging from process re-engineering, enterprise-level change management, standardization, globalization and the like have moved PLM processes to mission-critical enterprise systems. Product data representations that encapsulate semantics to support product data exchange and PLM collaboration processes have driven several standards organizations, vendor product development efforts, real-world PLM implementations, and research initiatives. However, the process and deployment dimensions have attracted little attention: The need to optimize organization processes rather than individual benefits poses challenging “culture change management” issues and have derailed many enterprise-scale PLM efforts. Drawn from the authors’ field experiences as PLM system integrators, business process consultants, corporate executives, vendors, and academicians, this paper explores the broad scope of PLM, with an added focus on the implementation and deployment of PLM beyond the development of technology. We review the historical evolution of engineering information management/PLM systems and processes, characterize PLM implementations and solution contexts, and discuss case studies from multiple industries. We conclude with a discussion of research issues motivated by improving PLM adoption in industry.

Lifecycle Management

Recently, computational design aiding tools resources are undertaken in modern companies, enhancing high quality product definition development. However, accurate digital product descriptions are attained through multiple software applications, each one seeking to solve focused needs. Regardless significant advances, there still remains a substantial computational deficiency in how these systems interact with each other between the several PLC stages. Plural issues with different origin and nature contribute to such state, increasing the research community interest to contribute with solution that minimizes the problem. In particular, one main issue refers to product and process knowledge exchange along PLC stages. According to this scenario, and with market pressure to increase profits and reduce redundancies, an efficient coordination and management of all the activities taking place along the Production Process must be performed. Hence, promising technologies of Product Lifecycle Management are considered strategic to manage capture of product knowledge along its life, from initial conception to retirement. This paper proposes the use of an ontology to be used in a knowledge-based system, giving support to a comprehensive product model to improve integration and data exchange capabilities trough entire PLC. The capture, handle and re-use of knowledge from multiple disciplines during PLC (e.g. design, manufacture or maintenance), extending capabilities of existent product and process models is the promising main benefit of ontologies development.

Lifecycle Management

Product lifecycle management (PLM) as a holistic process encompasses the idea generation for a product, its conception, and its production, as well as its operating phase. Numerous tools and data models are used throughout this process. In recent years, industry and academia have developed integration concepts to realize efficient PLM across all domains and phases. However, the solutions available in practice need specific interfaces and tend to be vendor dependent. The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) aims to be a standardized digital representation of an asset (e.g., a product). In accordance with its objective, it has the potential to integrate all data generated during the PLM process into one data model and to provide a universally valid interface for all PLM phases. However, to date, there is no holistic concept that demonstrates this potential. The goal of this research work is to develop and validate such an AAS-based concept. This article demonstrates the application of the AAS in an order-controlled production process, including the semi-automatic generation of PLM-related AAS data. Furthermore, it discusses the potential of the AAS as a standard interface providing a smooth data integration throughout the PLM process.

Lifecycle Design

Within the framework of sustainability in manufacturing industry, product lifecycle design is a key approach for constructing resource circulation systems of industrial products that drastically reduce environmental loads, resource consumption and waste generation. In such design, designers should consider both a product and its lifecycle from a holistic viewpoint, because the product’s structure, geometry, and other attributes are closely coupled with the characteristics of the lifecycle. Although product lifecycle management (PLM) systems integrate product data during its lifecycle into one data architecture, they do not focus on support for lifecycle design process. In other words, PLM does not provide explicit models for designing product lifecycles. This paper proposes an integrated model of a product and its lifecycle and a method for managing consistency between the two. For the consistency management, three levels of consistency (i.e., topological, geometric, and semantic) are defined. Based on this management scheme, the product lifecycle model allows designers to evaluate environmental, economic, and other performance of the designed lifecycle using lifecycle simulation.

Lifecycle Management

Product lifecycle management is one of the main developmental aspects of advanced manufacturing technology. Anti-fatigue design is the key content in product lifecycle management. For designing the fatigue life of shaft exactly and determining the assessment method, the influencing factors must be realized roundly. The mechanical model of shaft is set up at first, and then the main factors that affect the fatigue life of shaft is discussed, the interrelations of the main factors and the framework are founded. The assessment equation of fatigue life for shaft is put forward and the influencing coefficient of multi-axial stress to fatigue life is analyzed. The results of this paper will establish the base of anti-fatigue and assessment life of shaft.
