How to facilitate comparability among product models: applying a standardizing description approach
Lukas Paehler, Sven Matthiesen
IPEK - Institute of Product Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
During a design process, designers are supported by several purposive product models. To enable designers to switch between them, researchers need to consider the linking of product models during their development. To assist researchers in doing so, the capabilities of a standardizing description approach, stances towards product models, was investigated. The results show that the description approach was able to identify indicators of linking possibilities by facilitating comparability. This is a step towards assisting researchers in considering the linking of product models systematically.
Enhancing design representations of information and knowledge of complex and long-living assets by applying system modelling techniques
Fabian Niklas Laukotka, Markus Christian Berschik, Dieter Krause
Hamburg University of Technology, Germany
Managing general domain knowledge and asset-specific information in the form of digital representations is especially important and challenging when focusing on long-living and complex assets. Implicit knowledge and existing structures need to be captured and digitalised, ideally without introducing unnecessary complexity through unfamiliar wording or new structures. To achieve this, a methodical approach that utilises ontologies as well as system modelling techniques and focuses on early-stage model instantiation is presented and applied to the cabin retrofit of aircraft.
Supporting the digital thread through the principles of complementarity
Yana Brovar, Saina Sadeghzadeh, Clement Fortin
Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Russia
To establish a coherent Digital Thread, encompassing diverse information obtained during the design process, it is imperative to ensure the traceability of information particularly between engineering and manufacturing teams. A challenge lies in maintaining links between data, particularly in the context of configuration management. Through the principles of complementarity, we explore links between the Engineering and the Manufacturing definitions through a major structural element. We forsee the principles of complementarity as a support for Digital Thread throughout the product lifecycle.
Introducing a multipliable BOM-based automatic definition of information retrieval in plant engineering
Max Layer1, Sebastian Neubert1, Ralph Stelzer2

The complexity of process plants and the growing demand for digitalization require efficient and accurate information retrieval throughout the lifecycle phases of a process plant. This paper discusses the concept of instantiation and introduces a method for identifying and multiplying required information in plant engineering using scalable so-called Instantiation Blocks linked to the Bill of Material. Core functionality, an ontology graph and a user interface based on Python and React are developed to demonstrate the implementation of the framework and validate its effectiveness in practice.
Automatic knowledge graph creation from engineering standards using the example of formulas
Engineering standards are an important source of knowledge in product development. Despite the increasing digitalisation, the provision and usage of standards is characterised by lots of manual steps.This research paper aims at applying automatic knowledge graph creation in the domain of engineering standards to enable machine-actionable standards. For this, a formula knowledge graph ontology as well as suitable information extraction techniques are developed. The concept is validated using the example of DIN ISO 281, showing the overall capability of automatic knowledge graph creation.
Enhancing the IFM framework based on a meta-analysis of other design methods
Merlin Krüger, Kilian Gericke, Stefan Zorn
University of Rostock, Germany
The use of design methods across multiple design phases of the product development process often leads to inconsistency, the loss of transparency, and the rejection of design methods by practitioners. The authors of this work intend to develop a central modelling approach that supports consistency, based on the integrated function modelling (IFM) framework. Therefore, various design methods from the literature were examined for their techniques and content to identify indicators for supporting consistency. The results led to an enhancement of the IFM framework.
