Title
The lifecycle of active and intelligent products: The augmentation concept
Abstract
This paper aims to demonstrate the consistency of extending the active or intelligent product concept to the whole product lifecycle. The first two sections describe the state of the art in the field of closed-loop PLM and the repercussions of introducing active products in the different phases of the product lifecycle: design, manufacturing, distribution, use and recycling. A functional generic model is then introduced. This model is based upon the 'augmentation' concept, which is available throughout the whole product lifecycle. To illustrate our proposal, we provide examples in the design and distribution phases. To validate our proposal, we focus on the manufacturing phase, describing a real implementation on a flexible assembly cell at Valenciennes AIP Primeca pole. Our ongoing research works to apply the 'augmentation' concept to the operating phase of a complex system in order to improve performance, especially in terms of availability.
