Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) has already helped manufacturers realize value across a variety of domains, including assistance in maintenance, process monitoring, and product assembly. However, coordinating traditional engineering ...

Abstract: Extended reality (XR) technologies have realized significant value for design, manufacturing, and sustainment processes. However, industrial XR, or XR implemented within industrial applications, suffers from scalability ...

Abstract: Developing a more automated industrial digital thread is vital to realize the smart manufacturing and industry 4.0 vision. The digital thread allows for efficient sharing across product lifecycle stages. Current techniques ...

Abstract: ontostep is a method to translate the STandard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) schema and its instances to an ontology and knowledge graphs represented in the web ontology language (owl). ontostep models can ...

Abstract: To understand the past successes and future opportunities for applying Industry 4.0 technologies toward manufacturing sustainability assessment, this state-of-the-art review examines previous literature at the intersection ...

Abstract: A large portion of design activity involves applying previous design knowledge in order to solve new problems. Therefore, facilitating ecoconscious exploration of archived designs is needed for advancing sustainable product ...

Abstract: The need for capturing knowledge in the digital form in design, process planning, production, and inspection has increasingly become an issue in manufacturing industries as the variety and complexity of product lifecycle ...

Abstract: This paper describes a framework for applying design for environment (DfE) within an industry setting. Our aim is to couple implicit design knowledge such as redesign/process constraints with quantitative measures of ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel visualization framework for product and supply chain metadata in the context of redesignrelated decision scenarios. Our framework is based on the idea of overlaying productrelated metadata ...

Abstract: Design for environment (DfE) principles are helpful for integrating manufacturing-specific environmental sustainability considerations into product and process design. However, such principles are often overly general, ...
