The evolutionary trajectory of CAD/
CAM/PLM technology
leads directly to Knowledge Aware Engineering; where digital
representations of ‘Product’ and ‘Mfg Process’ are driven by, and
infused with, the technical expertise which constantly evolves within
engineering intensive firms. The promise of Knowledge Aware Engineering
is achieved through the establishment of ‘Technical Memory’ and highly
integrated ‘Engineering Decision Support'. These two new and
fundamental technology bundles enable the capture of Know-how
across the enterprise and causes that Know-how to flow into engineering
processes and tools resulting in a broad spectrum of enhanced
engineering capabilities.
