Design of assembly lines is a knowledge intensive process relying significantly on experience and associated with high costs, long lead times and high probability of risks and reworks. This paper presents a methodology to support the early stage design of assembly lines through Knowledge Based\ud Engineering (KBE). In this introductory paper the authors discuss the methodology to implement the KBE approach. A set of system engineering rules is extracted from direct interviews and domain best practices and knowledge about product and process is formalized. These rules will be implemented in a user-friendly platform allowing the design of first phase line layout by taking the defined system requirements (e.g. cycle time) as input.\ud Then, the KBE approach is extended to a specific case study taken from the powertrain sector

“…Designers often are required to deal with products with similar structures, with only minor differences related to specific requirements [2,[10][11][12]. Therefore, most knowledge-based engineering (KBE) applications for mechanical design follow three main approaches, i.e., the automation of complex design tasks, the reuse of design solutions, and knowledge-based tools [13][14][15]. The feature design can be automated, also taking into account technology specific data.…”

The Systematic Design of Industrial Products through Design Archetypes: An Application on Mechanical Transmissions

Engineering design is a knowledge intensive activity for both new and mature technical systems, such as mechanical transmissions. However, design knowledge is often transferred with conservative and unstructured approaches, although knowledge management would be of the utmost importance for modern industries. In this work, we introduce a design tool, called design archetype, for collecting and managing knowledge in systematic design processes. The design archetype addresses input design requirements for different design concepts, therefore, improving awareness of the design process by interactively modifying the design solution due to different input requirements. Finally, the design archetype updates the parameters of a first embodiment computer-aided design model of the concept. A method for the development of design archetypes is presented and applied to two case studies of mechanical transmission subassemblies. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of a systematic design method based on design archetypes stored in the company database.

Abstract. The shift to modularized cars leads to the need for early and precise concept decisions for the development of modules. Many module definitions focus on the interaction between modules to make them upgradeable. The focus here is on modules that have to work with unknown restrictions in terms of uncertainty. In this paper, emphasis is put on unknown car styling in early design stages. Because of frequent interface modifications during the validation process of car styling, the great influence of this unknown restriction on modules is discussed for kinematic systems. The systematic approach of Robust Kinematics Optimization is successively described and exemplified. Due to the early and computer-aided consideration of uncertainties, the developer is able to judge even very unconventional and innovative module concepts. Furthermore, a higher level of transparency is achieved in concept decisions because the consequences of modifications during later development stages have been precociously integrated and validated.
