Product Representation in Lightweight Formats for Product Lifecycle Management (plm)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently, companies face the unprecedented challenges of the global marketplace, collaborative environments and the entire product lifecycle. There are new requirements for product representations, including: platform/application independence, support for the product lifecycle, rapidly sharing information between geographically distributed applications and users, and protection of commercial security. To meet these, some lightweight representations have been developed and applied in different industries. This paper highlights some limitations in the current applications, and presents a framework of lightweight representations for the product lifecycle. In the proposed framework, a markup method is applied to the whole product lifecycle. The approach is demonstrated with an industrial case study.

Strategies for the Curation of CAD Engineering Models
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has become increasingly important in the engineering community over the last decade or so, due to the globalisation of markets and the rising popularity of products provided as services. It demands the efficient capture, representation, organisation, retrieval and reuse of product data over its entire life. Simultaneously, there is now a much greater reliance ...

During the last decade the management of a product's data over its entire life has been gaining prominence. This is largely due to two factors: firstly, an increasingly collaborative environment in which product development and maintenance takes place in a geographically distributed and networked environment. Secondly, there is an emerging economic paradigm shift in which companies that design ...

In today’s globalized markets, effectivity in the way that product development information is communicated and transparently interpreted by a variety of divisions and disciplines in an enterprise has an essential impact on the key factors time, cost and quality. PLM is a concept that intends to cope with respective challenges. Aiming for a reduction of CAD-licensing costs and data preparation o...
متن کاملTowards a Curation and Preservation Architecture for CAD Engineering Models
For many decades, computer-aided design (CAD) packages have played an important part in the design of product models within the engineering domain. Within the last ten years, however, the increasing complexity of CAD models and their tighter integration into the workflow of engineering enterprises has led to their becoming the definitive expression of a design. At the same time, a paradigm shif...
متن کاملVisualization Model for Product Lifecycle Management
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) demonstrated to be a good strategy for manufacturing enterprises. In spite of all the benefits it is not still clear how to implement it in industry. This article presents a visualization model of enterprise processes for a PLM system. It presents in a graphic way the main elements of a product lifecycle. The model identifies what is done (process, activities)...
