Environmental Norms

Taking environmental factors into consideration is the primary demand and feature of eco-design. But the environmental factors are often numerous, trivial and related to the entire design phases, which make eco-design difficult to carry out. In order to address this problem, Product Information Model for Eco-design (PIMfE) based on the NIST CPM2 was proposed to provide an organizer and a standard representation for eco-design information. By extending the CPM2, environmental aspects, such as environmental norms, regulations, standards, material selection, disassembly, recycling and environmental impact evaluation, were integrated into product information model. Then the key activities of eco-design namely requirement analysis, detailed design and environmental evaluation could be supported by PIMfE. An example of keypad microphone is used to illustrate the suggested product information model and verify its validity.

Share Information

A lot of information needs to be processed in the MEMS design process, but this information lack the unified expression format at present. This causes the design stage of MEMS not to be able to share information, furthermore causes low design efficiency. A product information model is presented according to MEMS design stage. XML language is used to describe information of each design stage, and an information exchange and sharing platform model has been established to solve MEMS design data sharing and exchange bottleneck question. The XML technology makes the platform reusable and extensible.

As a significantly complicated manufacturing process, shipbuilding requires a sophisticated product information model to achieve the seamless flow of product information. A digital mock-up system (DMU) that builds a prototype in a computer has been proposed for consistent quality control. The DMU system can simulate models and assemblies on-the-fly as well as project real-world manufacturability without the expense and time required to make a physical mock-up. However, establishing a DMU system that can facilitate the use of product information is not easy. Preparing useful product information is costly and requires skilled computer engineers. It is thus often infeasible, especially in small and medium-sized shipyards. This paper describes the development of an affordable DMU system. Newly emerged technologies such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Unified Modeling Language (UML), and virtual reality (VR) are utilized to set up a practical DMU system. The DMU system developed has been applied to various commercial ships to verify its functionality and practicability.

For sustainability of environment, legislations in EU, USA, Japan and Australia require manufacturers to take back their products at the End of Life (EOL) and recycle them. The concept of 6R (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, redesign and remanufacture) is very important for this issue, while reuse has the highest energy and material recovery efficiency. In this study, an integrated product information model has been developed in UML to provide necessary information for any future decision making activities in the EOL stage, such as the replacement analysis of any used part or subassembly. This product information model represents not only product structure but its function, behavior, and their associations in different abstract levels to support replacement analysis of an existing component with a new or a used component available to company. This representation schema provides necessary information for any future decision making activities in the EOL stage, such as the replacement or reuse of any part or subassembly. In an analysis of replacement for a faulty component with a used or new component, this model provides all of the associations of the existing artifact with other artifacts and the environment, not just functional and space requirements, and the relevant modification(s) of the associated objects has to be verified.

Assembly To Order

Basically, present enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) do not perform well in an assembly-to-order (ATO) environment due to the lack of effective management of product varieties. To support customized requirements and frequent engineering changes (ECs), we propose a manufacturing-oriented product information model (OMPIM), which consists of item property information and structure information. The proposed model has been applied to an ERP system of an automobile plant.
