Study on Integration Architecture of Product Design and Manufacturing Based on Knowledge Engineering

The paper analyses problems existing in integration models of product design and manufacturing in enterprises. Under the theory of product life cycle management (PLM) and via the platform of J2EE, it builds a framework for establishment of integration architecture in product design and manufacturing based on knowledge engineering. The paper gives a detailed introduction to the structure, function characteristics and realization forms of the architecture. On the basis of this, the paper then studies integration methods of the information system based on XML and explores key technologies in the knowledge base plus network safety of the architecture. Finally, the paper emphatically analyzes types of flow of traditional knowledge and digital knowledge in enterprise knowledge management. The proposed architecture has realized close integration of various sectors so that knowledge runs through the whole process of product life cycle. As a result, the architecture can satisfy modern enterprises’ demand for collaborative manufacturing, resource sharing and network integration while supporting knowledge management and technological innovation.
