Design Capture

New business models and more integrated product development processes require designers to make use of knowledge more efficiently. Capture and reuse are means of coping, but support, techniques, and mechanisms have yet to be sufficiently addressed. This paper consequently explores how computer-aided technologies (CAx) and a computer-aided design (CAD) model-oriented approach can be used to improve the efficiency of design module capture and representation for product family reuse. The first contribution of this paper is the investigation performed at a Swedish manufacturing company and a set of identified challenges related to design capture and representation for reuse in product family development. The second contribution is a demonstrated and evaluated set of systems and tools, which exemplifies how these challenges can be approached. Efficient design capture is achieved by a combination of automated and simplified design capture, derived from the design implementation (CAD model definition) to the extent possible. Different design representations can then be accessed by the designer using the CAD-internal tool interface. A web application is an example of more general-purpose representation to tailor design content, all of which is managed by a product lifecycle management (PLM) system. Design capture is based on a modular view block definition, stored in formal information models, management by a PLM system, for consistent and reliable design content. It was, however, introduced to support the rich and expressive forms of capture and representation required to facilitate understanding, use, and reuse of varied and increasingly complex designs. A key element in being able to describe a complex design and its implementation has been capture and representation of a set of design states. The solution has been demonstrated to effectively be able to capture and represent significant portions of a step-by-step design training material and the implementation of complex design module through a set of design decisions taken. The validity and relevance of the proposed solution is strengthened by the level of acceptance and perceived value from experienced users, together with the fact that the company is implementing parts of it today.

The yellow-ring (YR) is a chromatism phenomenon which is caused by the inhomogeneous phosphor layer of the white-light LED (WLED). The characterized lightspot with YR is that the yellow light appears in the periphery of white lightspot zone. The lightspot image of WLED can be acquired from two approaches; projective lightspot method (PLM) and transmissive lightspot method (TLM). By the PLM system, the lightspot could be projected on the spot screen (wall or others) and its image is acquired by a CCD camera. However, the working distance between camera and sample WLED must be larger (~ 2 m) to obtain the lightspot image without tilt aberration. For the convenience of automatic inspection, the working distance in the TLM system can be modified to 0.3 m. Since the light travels through the spot screen, such as copier paper or acrylic plate, etc., the camera cannot obtain the real lightspot image in the TLM system. In practice, the material of spot screen will absorb and scatter the WLED light, and in the image color would be a bit different between the real lightspot and the acquired lightspot. In order to improve the above disadvantages, the study presents the reflective lightspot method (RLM) that the camera acquires the reflective lightspot image from the 50/50 beam splitter at the same optical axis. The RLM system is not only able to capture the tilt-less lightspot image, but also obtain readily the non-saturated image. The experiment results show the RLM system has the better evaluation of YR index (YRI), and is more suitable for the automatic inspection of WLEDs.

Widespread IT application leads up to the idea of integrating all the information related with products. It is the ultimate goal to design a product creatively and automatically acquiring all the updated information through close interaction with Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) system starting from conceptual design phase. In this paper, Product Genetic Engineering (PGE) concept for innovative design automation is introduced, and extended to Product Life-Cycle Genetic Engineering (PLCGE) which has genes for downstream processes and can interact with all the real-time information through PLM, and so provides real-time support for PGE decision-making. A basic framework for PLCGE is proposed in which the product development can be divided into two main phases: the generation of product “genome” and the growth of the “genome” into its physical form. In the former phase, the product genome originates from and serves as an extension to human genome, and forms a complete genome through design process dealing with life-cycle factors. In the latter phase, the product genome acquires “protein” to grow inside its mother body (the factory), and PLM system acts as an “umbilical cord” between the product genome and its mother body. Finally, a case study of PLCGE application in Mass Customization is made for validity of PLCGE.
