Ict Infrastructure

A novel Internet-based information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure for an eco-accounting system was successfully developed to deliver “EcoCosts”, which are the values of environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. The ICT infrastructure manages its internal elements and interacts with operation modules in the supply chain via Web-based service interfaces. The infrastructure consists of upperware, middleware, and resource layers. The upperware layer manipulates the middleware elements (cloud-based load balancing, life cycle assessment, Web-based services, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled mobile access), and manages the associated resources within the eco-accounting system. As novel features of the ICT infrastructure, load balancing is used to handle large numbers of data and to allocate the computing load across the eco-accounting network nodes, and life cycle assessment is conducted to analyse product footprints, which are the core of “EcoCost”, to facilitate consumers in comparing the environmental impacts between different products. A case study was conducted by transmitting product EcoCosts from businesses to consumers through the Internet, successfully verifying the system developed in this research. Because this research aims to pay more attention to the ICT aspects, the EcoCost is represented using a single value, hence simplifying the related calculation. This research provides a novel solution for dealing with the large numbers of data and computing loads required to manage EcoCost data throughout the product life cycle and to transmit EcoCosts from businesses to consumers.

Product Recycling

The planning and control of recycling and disassembly processes depends to a great extent on information about the product and its usage. A substantial amount of information about products is provided on delivery, but a continuous and systematic recording of information during a product life is normally not carried out. Repairs, disassembly and product recycling are however dependent on decentralised and information-intensive processes and can only be facilitated through the recording of life-cycle information. All information which is generated during the product life is first integrated into a newly created information model for life-cycle documentation. The paper presents a new integrated approach that guarantees consistent data storage and data structuring during the entire product life. An innovative information system is introduced which can provide any required information to all product user groups at any point in the product life. One module of this model is the electronic life-cycle memory for data storage on the product itself of the life-cycle documentation. It is done using Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) for the first time in this field. Subsequently, the integration of the life-cycle memory into the entire information system is described. The paper closes with a practical case from industry.

Technology Life Cycle

Forecasting technology is one way that can be used to predict product life cycle. Product life cycle is very important to know, especially by organizations, that are in small medium level, like SME. This research will be conducted in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.Forecasting product life cycle that has been done, will direct this research toward the stage of product development. Stages of development of the products are a necessary stage for an organization, especially in SME, to innovate the product. The purpose of this research is to propose the development of products, such as the stages of innovation that can be done in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, forecasting conducted based on life cycle assessment of products and technology components using technometric model. The results of this research are proposed innovation based forecasting and product life cycle assessment in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri using technometric model.

Spiral Model

In the article it is reviewed and modified a method of product life cycle assessment (LCA) with the help of a new stage ­ "market monitoring", which allows at the stage of strategic planning to identify priorities for product release and production technology design. It is also found that the use of OLAP technology enables to visualize not only the stages of "start-release", but also to assess the necessity of termination of further production, using a developed spiral model of product life cycle assessment for virtual instrument-making enterprises. The developed model have shown that when reaching break-even point it should be the right way to conduct strategic planning, modernize the product in accordance with the consumer needs and give the product a new round or complete the project. Development of such models helps to ensure that the product life cycle for virtual instrument-making enterprises can stretch to infinity.
