Life Cycle Management
Life Cycle Assessment: Theory and Practice, 2017Co-Authors: Niki BeyAbstract:Life Cycle Management of electronic computer/communications systems is maturing after thirty years of experimentation and some false starts. This holistic concept provides an improved framework for planning, implementation and control of electronic hardware or software systems. It effects of symbiosis between users and suppliers who are both concerned with reliability of hardware and software, cost-effectiveness of applications, and the impacts of a rapidly changing technology. Improved cooperation between hardware/software vendors and users will undoubtedly result in significantly better product designs and services as well as their more intelligent use by sophisticated and concerned Management. © 1981.

Semantic technologies for engineering asset life Cycle Management
International Journal of Production Research, 2013Co-Authors: Dimitris KiritsisAbstract:The use of semantic technologies and ontologies is becoming more and more popular in engineering applications and particularly in product modelling. Still, the use is limited in academia and applications are of a small scale. In this paper we present the research work done by the closed-loop life Cycle Management (CL2M) team of the Laboratory for Computer-Aided Design and Production (LICP) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, on the use of ontology-based technologies for the life Cycle Management of products and engineering assets. This research has been performed through a number of PhD works partially financed by the European Framework Program for research. It aims at providing both a wider understanding of the benefits of applying such technologies in the complex environment of asset life Cycle Management (ALM) and at providing a platform for implementing ontology models in industrial environments.

A novel product life-Cycle Management architecture of construction machinery
2017 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA), 2017Co-Authors: Hehong Shen, Qicai Zhou, Jiong ZhaoAbstract:This paper illustrates the product life-Cycle Management architecture of construction machinery under the background of the rapid development of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and internet of things. The significance and definition of product life-Cycle Management is proposed before analyzing the connection among three different stages in detail. Then a more vivid system diagram called product life-Cycle Management house is proposed and described specifically as the basis of building product life-Cycle Management system. The operating mechanism is also stated and four specific applications of product life-Cycle Management are presented. Finally an integrated life-Cycle Management system of bucket wheel is given to show the effectiveness of this architecture.

Modeling the Effects of Maintenance on Product Life Cycle Management
2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2005Co-Authors: T. Hata, F KimuraAbstract:In this study the effects of maintenance on product life Cycle Management are examined. Product life Cycle Management systems are modeled with objects, actors and processes. Actors make decisions based on product conditions and other constraints, and activate the associated processes. Maintenance Management systems are described in the same way and the behavior of a whole system is simulated stochastically. From the simulation result, effects of maintenance on lifeCycle Management are examined.

Maintenance: Changing role in life Cycle Management
CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology, 2004Co-Authors: Soichiro Takata, Frederikus J.a.m. Van Houten, Dariusz Ceglarek, Moshe Shpitalni, F Kimura, Engelbert Westkämper, Jay LeeAbstract:As attention to environmental problems grows, product life Cycle Management is becoming a crucial issue in realizing a sustainable society. Our objective is to provide the functions necessary for such a society while minimizing material and energy consumption. From this viewpoint, we should redefine the role of maintenance as a prime method for life Cycle Management. In this paper, we first discuss the changing role of maintenance from the perspective of life Cycle Management. Then, we present a maintenance framework that shows Management Cycles of maintenance activities during the product life Cycle. According to this framework, we identify technical issues of maintenance and discuss the advances of technologies supporting the change in the role of maintenance.

Design of product modularity for life Cycle Management
Proceedings Second International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2001Co-Authors: T. Hata, S. Kato, F KimuraAbstract:A methodology to develop product modular structures that enhances life Cycle Management without reducing product variations of family products is proposed. Possible improvements and constraints of life Cycle Management of products that have modular structures are discussed. Modular structures of air conditioning units for automobiles are examined according to expected life Cycle scenarios. Well-designed modular structures could improve life Cycle Management procedures such as reuse and make recycling operations more efficient.

A cyberinfrastructure for integrated monitoring and life-Cycle Management of wind turbines
European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering EG-ICE 2013 - 20th International Workshop: Intelligent Computing in Engineering, 2013Co-Authors: Kay Smarsly, K. H. Law, D HartmannAbstract:Integrating structural health monitoring into life-Cycle Management strategies for wind turbines can help owners and operators to accurately schedule maintenance and repair work at minimum associated life-Cycle costs. Continuously updated monitoring data (i.e. structural, environmental, and operational data) can effectively be used to capture the operational and structural behavior of wind turbines and to reduce uncertainty in load and resistance parameters. However, permanently operating monitoring systems generate massive volumes of monitoring data that need to be organized, stored, processed, and analyzed in order to extract meaningful information. In this paper, a cyberinfrastructure framework for integrated structural health monitoring and life-Cycle Management of wind turbines is proposed. The secure framework is designed for scalable storage of large volumes of monitoring data and for online life-Cycle Management of wind turbines. This paper describes the overall architecture and the components of the cyberinfrastructure framework, which has been deployed in continuous monitoring of a 500 kW wind turbine for more than three years. Using the cyberinfrastructure framework, case studies are presented investigating the long-term structural performance and the operational efficiency of the wind turbine.

TOWARDS LIFE-Cycle Management OF WIND TURBINES BASED ON STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Stanford University Stanford CA USA, 2012Co-Authors: Kay Smarsly, K. H. Law, D HartmannAbstract:The integration of structural health monitoring (SHM) into life-Cycle Management (LCM) strategies can enable wind turbine manufacturers, owners, and operators to precisely schedule maintenance work at minimum associated life-Cycle costs. Monitoring data, i.e. structural, environmental, and operational data continuously collected by SHM systems, can effectively be used to capture the structural behavior of wind turbines and to reduce (epistemic) uncertainty. Both the resistance parameters of the structure and the load effects acting on the components can continuously be updated facilitating an accurate life-Cycle Management. This paper presents an integrated approach towards life-Cycle Management of wind turbines based on structural health monitoring. Information gained from a SHM system installed on a wind turbine in Germany is coupled with an online LCM system for optimum decision making with respect to operation and maintenance. The integrated LCM system presented in this paper consists of different software modules, which are installed on computers located in the wind turbine and at other, spatially distributed locations. This paper first describes the SHM system, and then presents preliminary results obtained from the online LCM system. Two case studies investigating the structural performance and the operational efficiency of the wind turbine are reported.
