Business Overview and Technical approach

Business Objectives

  • The more efficient knowledge management and collaboration throughout the product lifecycle, supporting the capture, the systematic organization in the form of manufacturing templates of knowledge
  • To revolutionize the UI context in the engineering office and the shop floor, with emphasis on Augmented Reality
  • Faster, easier, error-free UI for data entry / checking in the shop floor along with serious games options

Technical Overview

 

Project Goals

Measurable objectives

  • Reduce the time required for retrieving past relevant knowledge by 50%
  • Reduce product / production process changes by up to 15%
  • Reduce the Time to Market and associated costs by up to 20%
  • Increase engineers’ productivity by up to 25%.

Main benefits for Industry and OEMs

  • Efficient, web-enabled management of manufacturing process knowledge (not data only) / knowledge capture–reuse –optimize
  • Improved use of standard data and knowledge exchange formats in different phases of engineering projects (templates and adoption of existing / emerging standards
  • Extended use Web-based advanced UIs, with thin clients
  • Further push for data compatibility and adoption of engineering standards
