Enhancing Product Development Through Parametric and Product Data Management Tools

Expanding on work previously conducted with the Furniture Manufacturing and Management Center, the current project continues the evaluation of how parametric-based 3-D CAD and product data management (PDM) software tools can be utilized better in the furniture industry. The central focus of this work is the development of a demonstration system which uses a parametrically driven 3-D CAD/PDM sys...

Pervasive 3D Viewing for Product Data Management

Implementing product data management the first time

The research described in this paper investigates the problems and issues faced by companies implementing Product Data Management (PDM) systems. The aim is to produce guidelines to help managers implement PDM to gain maximum competitive advantage. A pilot study, which illustrates the key factors necessary for the successful implementation of a PDM system, was carried out and this was followed w...

P2P Data synchronization for product lifecycle management

Intelligent products are the key driver for the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). To facilitate the IoT, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) requires the automatic capture of events related to physical objects at various locations and times. Nonetheless, more advanced and standardized communication interfaces must be designed to facilitate interactions between various types of “things” through...

Integrated Product and Process Data Management

One of the most significant impacts on product development in recent years has been made by the application of data management techniques, which are known as product data management, engineering data management, engineering documentation management, and integrated product data management. The initial objective of applying these techniques was to provide methods for the storage and retrieval of ...
