This study introduces a digital thread approach linking design and manufacturing data. It enables better product lifecycle decisions by integrating ISO 6983 and MTConnect standards.
Area of Science:
- Engineering
- Computer Science
- Data Science
Background:
- The digital thread concept connects systems throughout a product's lifecycle, crucial for data management and applications like digital twins.
- Integrating semantically-rich, open standards is essential for creating dynamic context from diverse data viewpoints.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a method for linking as-planned (ISO 6983) and as-fabricated (MTConnect) product data.
- To demonstrate how this integration supports data-driven applications and enhances decision-making.
Main Methods:
- The research utilizes dynamic time warping to align and integrate product data from different lifecycle stages.
- It focuses on creating a semantically-rich digital thread by connecting ISO 6983 and MTConnect standards.
Main Results:
- The developed approach successfully linked as-planned and as-fabricated data for a production part.
- This linkage facilitated a more optimal design decision from a product lifecycle perspective.
Conclusions:
- The proposed digital thread approach enhances data integration across the product lifecycle.
- It enables improved decision-making by providing a unified view of product data from design to fabrication.
