Computer-aided design of formulated products

Towards a Knowledge Base to Support the Management of the Design Process of Formulated Products

“…On the one hand, in the field of chemical engineering, knowledge bases have been widely used to support the design of chemical products. Outstanding examples of highly developed tools implementing knowledge bases include the virtual process-product design laboratory (VPPD-Lab) [15] and the computational tool ProCAPD [27,28]. Both of them contain property models, databases and knowledge bases to support the design of formu-lated chemical products.…”

“…Despite the importance of having an organizational approach for designing new products, there are not many design methodologies for chemical products that take this aspect into account [13]. Most of the published methodologies focused on technical and financial aspects [14][15][16][17][18]. There are some works that consider the company structure for decision-making during product formulation [3,19]; however, they do not present an indepth knowledge management strategy for designing within organizations.…”

Integration of Computer Aided Design and Engineering (CAD/E) Principles for Development of a Face Shield Concept to Protect against the COVID-19 Virus

“…The West Indian Journal of Engineering Vol.45, No.1, July 2022, pp.30-38 https://doi.org/10.47412/IVIU9414 a.k.a. CAD], and conducting testing, as well as simulation exercises of these models [computer-aided engineering a.k.a CAE] ( Kontogeorgis et al, 2022). Product design teams have coordinated the use of integrated CAD/E principles to correct hindrances early in the development process that would have otherwise given rise to wasted time and money should they have been detected later using traditional methods.…”

An ontology for the design of emulsion-based cosmetic products: Development and applications

“…In addition, the design must be fast and able to respond to the multiple demands of the market, which requires efficient, multifunctional, innovative, and environmentally friendly products, among other considerations. Due to their complexity, formulated products are usually designed based on expert knowledge and exhaustive experimentation, which makes it an iterative and time-consuming process (Kontogeorgis et al, 2022).…”

“…In view of the above, academia has worked extensively on the development of tools to streamline the design process of formulated products. Some renowned examples include: a methodology for formulated products based on the reverse design approach, which generates thousands of product alternatives and then filters them against a target product (Conte et al, 2011); the virtual process-product design laboratory (VPPD-Lab), which is a computer-aided tool containing property models, databases, and knowledge bases to support the design of formulated products (Kontogeorgis et al, 2022); an integrated framework for the design of formulated products containing tools and design steps for all type of formulations (solid, liquid, gas) (Zhang et al, 2017); and the computational tool ProCAPD, which combines ten sub-models (molecular structure, property, process, costing, pricing, economic analysis, quality, sustainability, environmental impact, and performance) with a database for formulated product design (Kalakul et al, 2018) (Liu et al, 2019). Most of these approaches define design problems as mathematical optimization problems of the mixed-integer nonlinear programming type (MINLP).…”
