Description

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory functions similarly to a traditional manufacturing facility, but it focuses on digital assets rather than tangible components. To build this factory, your organization develops a comprehensive “superset” supply chain of digital assets that are accessible across the entire range of products. These assets come with all the available feature options provided in the product lineup. The selected features for each product are detailed in the Bill-of-Features, and subsequently, a product asset instance is generated using the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, driven by Gears, transforms into an automated production system that assembles and configures the shared digital assets according to the chosen features for each product variant at the simple push of a button. With BigLever’s Gears, your organization benefits from a unified set of PLE concepts and frameworks, enhancing your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering processes throughout the entire product lifecycle. This integration not only promotes efficiency but also fosters innovation within product development.

Description

Toshiba's Meister Factory represents a holistic IoT manufacturing solution that aims to seamlessly integrate, visualize, and leverage information from diverse systems involved in manufacturing processes, ultimately striving to enhance the entire manufacturing value chain. Drawing on Toshiba's deep-rooted experience in the field, the platform offers intelligent manufacturing dashboards that significantly boost yield rates and production efficiency by harnessing the power of IoT and big data directly at production sites. It incorporates Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) alongside digital twins, employing comprehensive data models that encapsulate manufacturing value chains to accurately mirror historical and real-time event data within virtual environments. This approach not only improves the management of manufacturing processes but also establishes connectivity between various factories through the Manufacturing Data Platform Connector, promoting manufacturing traceability and enabling the visualization of production statuses across multiple locations. By implementing such advanced solutions, Toshiba's Meister Factory seeks to revolutionize the way manufacturers operate and manage their workflows.
