Knowledge base development and application processes applied on product-assembly co-design

Book Contribution - Book Abstract Conference Contribution

During the product design, special attention is required to ensure that the product can be assembled later on at the manufacturing floor. Therefore, front-loading the assembly or production knowledge is advantageous for the efficiency of the product design process as it limits the costly design iterations when product assembly turns out challenging or even impossible. However, front-loading this assembly knowledge does push the complexity of the product design as it shifts to a clear co-design process in which multiple domain experts work together using their specialized domain tools. Within this paper, we propose the use of a Knowledge Base to ease the knowledge exchange between both different stakeholders and tool environment. Such a Knowledge Base does ease a co-design by providing proper handles for (I)Data integration, (II)Data exchange between tools, (III)Data exchange between stakeholders. We present both the development and application process to standardize the build and usage activity of such project-specific Knowledge Base. The benefits are demonstrated on a Small Validation Case of a gearbox.
