“…teams. For that reason, Hartman et al proposed a framework for the evaluation of different collaborative MBD product representations based on four different data formats [5]. This framework includes the necessary criteria of the workflows, which included in a product life cycle insight a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) [7].…”

“…Native MBD files can only be shared between software (CAD, CAM, PDM, etc. ), which use the same methods for data management and storage, but they allow the user to make changes to the model directly from its design history [5]. Furthermore, neutral MBD files like STEP AP 242 "Managed Model-Based 3D Engineering" include data for inspection, manufacturing, engineering visualization, supplier information, etc., which enables the collaboration between different software (SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, AUTOCAD, etc.…”

“…Lightweight formats (3D PDF, 3D XML, JT, etc.) are another category of files, which have as purpose to share information and data of a 3D model, without the typical cost of advanced hardware and software [5]. The main difference between these files and the other two categories is that the Lightweight files contain information for the visualization of the model and are destined to enhance the collaboration between the labor force and not as a linking tool between CAD software.…”

The need for optimization of the product manufacturing cycle and data management resulted in the creation of the model-based definition technology. The beneficial impact in most processes (CAD, CAE, CAPP, CAM, etc.) of a product manufacturing cycle, made the MBD technology implemented in various industries. The following paper has the purpose of highlighting the benefits and limitations of the current MBD capabilities and makes its impact on the industrial collaboration known by summarizing the communication file formats, which support this technology. Special interest is attributed to lightweight collaboration files, especially 3D PDFs, which are capable to deliver information and data to the domains of a company inside or outside of the manufacturing cycle and support all the necessary downstream activities of the product.

“…Specifically, use of high fidelity model images on demand at the point of maintenance (for example a 3D image of a wing tip fairing installation) has been noted to result in less rework or missed steps. By leveraging a model-based product definition, MRO technicians would have access to the most relevant product geometry and accompanying metadata [7,8,9,10]. Moreover, in an estimate of the financial cost of maintenance errors to industry, Markou & Kalimat [11] concluded the worldwide maintenance expenditure to be $45.2B in 2008.…”

A fundamental tenet of product lifecycle management (PLM) environments is the use of high-fidelity, 3D product models. The capability to create models with high degrees of fidelity to the physical world has driven companies to extract as much benefit and use from these digital assets as possible throughout the design, production, and support stages of the lifecycle. This is particularly apparent in the aviation industry where aircraft lifecycles routinely reach 80 years or longer. As the aviation industry migrates to the use of 3D model-based communications mechanisms in lieu of 2D drawings, multiple factors will impact the use of digital model-based work instructions, including the device, the form of the product model data, and levels of detail in geometry and interactivity. This paper will present a series of short studies conducted over the last three years using novice university students and expert university staff aircraft mechanics to evaluate the use of model-based work instructions in a general aviation maintenance environment. The results indicate that varying levels of detail and levels of interactivity have an effect on number of errors, time on task, and mental workload.

“…Hartman, Rosche, and Fischer [31] differentiate the type of CAD files to be used in the following formats: native CAD formats, derivative data formats, lightweight collaborative files, and neutral files. This distinction is important because the product representations used across the lifecycle change with respect to the desired functionality at each stage, and the exclusive use of one class of representation over another could limit the flexibility of design tools.…”

Model-Based Enterprise Approach in the Product Lifecycle Management: State-of-the-Art and Future Research Directions

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Innovations in product development and process technologies represent a promising strategy to face the increasing competitiveness of modern markets in the global economy. Also, customer requirements become more and more specific and the complexity of products is still increasing. Industries need to adopt effective solutions during the product development process and to support, for sustainable purposes, all the phases of the product lifecycle. Advanced model-based solutions emerge for digitally supporting these industrial needs. In this context, a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) represents an organization that adopts modeling technologies, such as Model-Based Definition (MBD) solutions, to integrate and manage both technical and business processes related to product design, production, support, and retirement. Past research discusses the model-based approaches focusing on technical product development, mainly referring to the design and the manufacturing phases. A wide perspective from the other phases of lifecycle seems to lack in the literature. By carrying out a systematic literature review, this research aims to investigate the relationships between the MBE approaches and the product lifecycle phases and to identify potential benefits and challenges. It enhances the academic knowledge domain by also shedding light on potential future research directions.
