Information Links between Product Life Cycles and Production System Management in Designing of Digital Manufacturing

摘要

Processes of product life cycles are traditional objects of automaton in designing of digital manufacturing. Changes in design and technological solutions require changes of technical and technological management abilities of production system of the enterprise. Each product being manufactured generates its own set of requirements to production system. To satisfy these requirements, the system has to be highly flexible. For the system to be ready to manufacture products of given range, information links are required between production system life cycle and life cycles of manufactured products. Life cycle of production system has several features. For example, the usage stage of the system includes design (technical renewal, upgrade), as well as construction and recycling. The work has set information links between processes taking part at usage stage of production system and processes taking part at design and production stages of manufactured products. This allowed spending 30 to 40 percents less time to start manufacturing new types of products.
