Parts which inherently store data about their fabrication and find their own way through the production, or, machine components that autonomously monitor themselves and arrange inspections as required may still sound like a vision of the future. Nonetheless, in the Collaborative Research Centre 653 'Gentelligent Components in their Lifecycle-Utilisation of Inheritable Component Information in Production Engineering' they will soon be a reality. Transferring characteristics that are similar to those found in nature to industrial production will lead to a paradigm shift in the development and manufacturing of prospective components. This paper presents the techniques and methods that enable this new approach in production engineering by transferring biological principles from the field of genetics into the manufacturing environment.

Containers transportation involves various intermediate supply-chain actors.These containers are subject to myriad risks that can occur at any moment. In addition, the absence of a specialized stakeholder for securing containers flow and the lack of communication among actors impedes identifying responsibilities when an adverse event arises. For this purpose, we advocate the use of traceability system to enhance containers transportation security. This objective is achieved through enhancing systems interoperability to collect necessary information for identifying risks. Thus, we opted for urbanizing a traceability system to meet the new requirements related to risk management. In this paper, we propose the use of web-services to overcome the problems related to the heterogeneity of systems used by supply-chain stakeholders. Thus, we proposed a development process based on model driven architecture (MDA) to automate the code generation of these web-services. Moreover, we used the concept of intelligent product (IP) to propose an intelligent container able to communicate with external systems and to manage information related to its traceability. This solution is validated by a real case study.

“…In this context, classification dimensions for product intelligence, application domains and obtainable benefits have been proposed [24]. The application of the "holon" concept was suggested in [25]. Intelligent agents, RFID and other data acquisition technologies were applied to intelligent products in post-sales phases in [26].…”

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has been identified as a key concept within manufacturing industries for improving product quality, time-to-market and costs. Previous works on this field are focused on processes, functions and information models, and those aimed at putting more intelligence on products are related to specific parts of the product lifecycle (e.g. supply chain management, shop floor control). Therefore, there is a lack of a holistic approach to PLM, putting more intelligence on products through the complete lifecycle. In this paper, a PLM framework supported by a proactive-product approach based on intelligent agents is proposed. The developed model aims at being a first step toward a reference framework for PLM, and complements past works on both product information and business process models (BPM), by putting proactivity on product's behavior. An example of an instantiation of the reference framework is presented as a case study.
