Digital manufacturing has been considered, over the last decade, as a highly promising set of technologies for reducing product development times and cost as well as for addressing the need for customization, increased product quality, and faster response to the market. This paper describes the evolution of information technology systems in manufacturing, outlining their characteristics and the challenges to be addressed in the future. Together with the digital manufacturing and factory concepts, the technologies considered in this paper include computer-aided design, engineering, process planning and manufacturing, product data and life-cycle management, simulation and virtual reality, automation, process control, shopfloor scheduling, decision support, decision making, manufacturing resource planning, enterprise resource planning, logistics, supply chain management, and e-commerce systems. These technologies are discussed in the context of the digital factory and manufacturing concepts.

“…Karl Mecklenburg (2001) outlined the benefits of seamless integration between plant layout and discrete event simulation (DES) in order to enable the virtual factory concept to be realized. One application in car manufacturing is the application of 4D Navigator of Dassault Systemes by BMW as described by Grandl (2001) in experimental vehicle build to verify both product and process eliminating many tasks during the preparation phase.…”

The advancement of information technology has resulted in the development of new visualization and planning tools that offer major improvements when compared to the use of traditional planning tools such as Gantt charts and Critical Path Method. Despite their limited capability for planning and monitoring projects, these tools are still almost universally used by the construction industry. Two case studies managed using traditional techniques, one construction of an apartment block and other installation of a new high technology production facility in the Precast Concrete Industry have been reviewed in the paper from a viewpoint of how the application of new 4D (3D+time) and visual planning/simulation techniques would have improved the management and control of the projects. Widespread use of visualization and simulation techniques in the Aerospace and Car Industries is compared with the limited use in the Construction Industry. The paper examines the barriers to the introduction of the technology based on the experience gained from the presentation and demonstration of the visualization technology to six major construction companies operating in the UK construction industry and the means of breaking down the barriers to the implementation of the new IT innovation are discussed.

“…In 3D process design tool system, the process model is focused on the description of the characteristics of process planning information. Process model must not only be able to describe characteristics of the hierarchical relationship of information and information products geometry should also include procedures for the processing of feature information [2].…”

The information extraction mode based on machining feature was presented for studying information extraction of part process model in the 3D CAPP system. The classification and its data structure of machining feature were investigated for defining the matching rule about the features. The feature authentication were availably fulfilled by converting the correlations of geometric topological into surface-edge adjacency graph for the part model, and the corresponding parameters extraction of feature were derived from traversing the feature tree of application development CATIA. The whole feature recognition process and parameter extraction process can become more directly and effectively by adopting the method of comparing machining feature with the predefined feature matching rules of the feature database.
