“…The content of the template can be used at any level, from informal (while creating the possibility of occurrence in many stages of development) to formal (also when creating the possibility of occurrence in many stages of development). Modelled knowledge resources can, depending on their form, be used as a kind of descriptive information intended directly for people as well as computerized automatic tools such as KBE (Knowledge Based Engineering) [14,21,22,23,24].…”

The work concerns the concept of assisting software supporting the design process of a selected class of the CPS (Cyber-Physical System) – a tractor drive system. The task was carried out in a process-oriented convention. The paper presents the characteristics of individual stages of the design task – the design of the tractor transmission electronic unit treated as a design case. To the classic substantive-model-staged narration, the characteristics of existing, acquired, developed and used personal knowledge of designers have been added. Attention was paid to the process, product models, requirements and constraints, aspects of analysis and synthesis, automation tools, and wider contexts of particular issues. The material collected in terms of the personal knowledge served to create the concept of an assistive system for designers to improve the design process through more precise and problem-dedicated knowledge and design models management. The proposed concept is based on design knowledge modelling and can be applied in the design process of the CPS or its elements.

“…Because of doing SFM ranks from simple monitoring the situation to complex transdisciplinary decision-making, the knowledge to be shared via the digitised visualisation board will have various nature [37]. It entails that the "transfer" of knowledge is not straightforward; indeed, "to transfer is to translate or to transform" [38].…”

Digitising Shop Floor Visualisation Boards: A Missing Link in the Industry 4.0 Era

This paper aims at conceptualising a digitised Shop Floor Management (SFM) visualisation board. The logic of inquiry throughout the study is an iterative back and-forth approach between our theoretical conceptualisation of the digitised visualisation board and empirical data collected in three industrial companies. The paper shows that digitised visualisation boards should have malleable representation capacities to transfer, translate and transform knowledge within and across SFM teams. A digitised visualisation board is suggested, which consists of; translating practices within SFM teams, translating practices across SFM teams, transforming practices across SFM teams and translating practices within SFM teams.

“…Two major communities of DA research can be identified, namely, knowledge-based engineering (KBE) (La Rocca, 2012; Verhagen et al , 2012; Stjepandić et al , 2015) and computational design synthesis (CDS) (Antonsson and Cagan, 2001; Cagan et al , 2005; Chakrabarti et al , 2011; Chakrabarti, 2013). Both investigate computational approaches to support design tasks by means of automation, and aim at improved reliability of predictions about states and features of future products and processes, before making decisions with a high impact on committed costs or other objective functions.…”

Purpose The paper aims to raise awareness in the industry of design automation tools, especially in early design phases, by demonstrating along a case study the seamless integration of a prototypically implemented optimization, supporting design space exploration in the early design phase and an in operational use product configurator, supporting the drafting and detailing of the solution predominantly in the later design phase. Design/methodology/approach Based on the comparison of modeled as-is and to-be processes of ascent assembly designs with and without design automation tools, an automation roadmap is developed. Using qualitative and quantitative assessments, the potentials and benefits, as well as acceptance and usage aspects, are evaluated. Findings Engineers tend to consider design automation for routine tasks. Yet, prototypical implementations support the communication and identification of the potential for the early stages of the design process to explore solution spaces. In this context, choosing from and interactively working with automatically generated alternative solutions emerged as a particular focus. Translators, enabling automatic downstream propagation of changes and thus ensuring consistency as to change management were also evaluated to be of major value. Research limitations/implications A systematic validation of design automation in design practice is presented. For generalization, more case studies are needed. Further, the derivation of appropriate metrics needs to be investigated to normalize validation of design automation in future research. Practical implications Integration of design automation in early design phases has great potential for reducing costs in the market launch. Prototypical implementations are an important ingredient for potential evaluation of actual usage and acceptance before implementing a live system. Originality/value There is a lack of systematic validation of design automation tools supporting early design phases. In this context, this work contributes a systematically validated industrial case study. Early design-phases-support technology transfer is important because of high leverage potential.
