“…We found some of the practices to be isolated from the engineering design community, suggesting that greater integration between design and measurement could yield long-term benefits. Hence we agree with the viewpoint of Maropoulos and Ceglarek [26] by suggesting that PLM could improve the line of sight between product definition and measurement capability.…”

“…Design optimisation is centred on a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, and there is a trend towards integrating an increasing number of processes through such systems [25]. Specifically, it has been argued that PLM is currently under-used with regard to measurement processes; Maropoulos and Ceglarek [26] concluded an extensive review on design verification and validation by noting that PLM has the potential to improve the line of sight between product definition and measurement capability, thereby enabling designs to be verified earlier in the lifecycle.…”

Abstract. Capable measurement of the size and shape of components is a prerequisite for precision manufacturers. However, the design community may not fully consider measurement issues that could arise when components are manufactured, and the manufacturing community may not wholly appreciate the value that measurement data can bring to design. This paper investigates measurement knowledge in this relationship to find out if there are specific knowledge types that could be developed to improve the likelihood of fulfilling design intent. A proven systems-based approach was applied to an illustrative case to develop a model of knowledge flows and identify key knowledge types. For this case study, it was found that knowledge about measurement is dispersed and managed through a variety of practices which are relatively isolated from design. Furthermore, conflict was uncovered between the knowledge types, reinforcing the view that a more inclusive and integrated approach is required. In the course of the research, a novel methodology was developed in which group modelling was used to generate questions, rather than the more typical approach of grounding a systems model on interview data.

“…However, over the past decades, advancements in computer technology enabled establishing increasingly sophisticated virtual models of physical artefacts as well as the fusion of such models for systems engineering [6]. These models not only serve for the design verification and validation [7], but are also increasingly used as the master product model comprising the model-based definition of required product characteristics [8]. Moreover, the evolvements in "microchip, sensor and IT technologies" [9] paved the way for the advent of smart products, which track and communicate their operating conditions and thus allow to "feed" their product models with data about their status, such as environmental conditions and loads.…”

Shaping the digital twin for design and production engineering

Abstract:The digitalization of manufacturing fuels the application of sophisticated virtual product models, which are referred to as digital twins, throughout all stages of product realization. Particularly, more realistic virtual models of manufactured products are essential to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing and to mirror the real and virtual worlds. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive reference model based on the concept of Skin Model Shapes, which serves as a digital twin of the physical product in design and manufacturing. In this regard, model conceptualization, representation, and implementation as well as applications along the product life-cycle are addressed.

“…The business benefits of integrating life cycle considerations and transitioning from a single product to a product service system perspective have also been discussed [6][7][8]. As for the operational part there is an increasing number of publications linking LCA to product development and management processes and coupling environmental assessments with intelligence systems for effective product life cycle management and decision support towards sustainability [9][10][11][12][13]. However, to invest and effectively uptake tools and services that support LCA integration to daily operations, the business case needs to be proved to the decision makers.…”
