Summary
This study introduces IMF-PM, a novel methodology integrating System Information Modelling (SIM) with Project Management (PM) principles. It enhances cross-disciplinary collaboration and project information integration in industrial digitalisation.
Area of Science:
- Engineering
- Information Science
- Project Management
Background:
- Industrial digitalisation offers significant project management (PM) benefits.
- System Information Modelling (SIM) is crucial for industrial digitalisation but often lacks PM integration.
- This leads to fragmented project information and reduced stakeholder collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose IMF-PM, a methodology integrating the Information Modelling Framework (IMF) with Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) standards.
- To address the gap in research on integrating SIM technologies and PM principles for industrial digitalisation.
- To facilitate cross-disciplinary project collaboration through a unified modelling framework.
Main Methods:
- Developed IMF-PM, a SIM methodology combining IMF and PMBOK standards.
- Designed IMF-PM with an engineer-friendly, multi-aspect language supporting Resource Description Framework (RDF) serialisation.
- Validated IMF-PM through an industrial case study of a gas cooling system.
Main Results:
- The IMF-PM methodology demonstrated function-implementation consistency and non-destructive integration in the case study.
- Exploratory evidence suggests practical utility for interdisciplinary coordination and traceability.
- The approach facilitates project information integration in cross-disciplinary industrial projects.
Conclusions:
- IMF-PM offers a new paradigm for project information digitalisation in industry.
- The methodology effectively bridges the gap between SIM and PM for enhanced collaboration.
- This research supports more cohesive and integrated industrial project management through digitalisation.

01:22Mechanical Systems
Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically described...
01:26Signal and System
A signal x(t) is a set of data or a time function representing a variable of interest. Signals typically convey information about a phenomenon, such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, human voice, television images, a dog's bark, or birdsongs. More generally, a signal can be a function of more than one independent variable. For instance, images depend on horizontal and vertical positions and can be regarded as two-dimensional signals. However, this text will focus on one-dimensional signals...

Electromechanical systems are intricate configurations that effectively combine electrical and mechanical elements to achieve a desired outcome. Central to many of these systems is the DC motor, a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, enabling various applications ranging from simple fans to complex robotic mechanisms.
A key component of the DC motor is the armature, a rotating circuit positioned within a magnetic field. As an electric current passes through the...

01:10Control Systems
Control systems are everywhere in contemporary society, influencing diverse applications from aerospace to automated manufacturing. These systems can be found naturally within biological processes, such as blood sugar regulation and heart rate adjustment in response to stress, as well as in man-made systems like elevators and automated vehicles. A control system is essentially a network of subsystems and processes that collaboratively convert specific inputs into desired outputs.
