Technology Integration and Interoperability in PLM Landscape
The need to integrate different technologies in the PLM landscape has fabricated an interconnected digitalized system that offers data interoperability and openness. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a process that governs different stages of a product’s lifecycle, right from concept to retirement. The PLM involves various stages, starting with the conceptualization stage, where innovative concepts are designed based on user requirements. The second stage is product and process designing, where a detailed design is created based on the required functionality, service, and forthcoming problems that might occur in the system. The third stage is known as prototyping, where the actual model is either developed or simulated to validate results. Fourth is the production stage, where a market-ready product version is presented to be commercialized based on feedback from the previous stage. Fifth is the service and maintenance stage, where continuous maintenance and assistance are provide...
