Towards Ontology-based Lifecycle Management in Blisk Manufacturing

Abstract

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) handles the typical stages of a product's lifespan, and is usually implemented via different methods. This paper addresses the stages product design, process design, process analysis and manufacturing in the product and process development chain of a blade-integrated disk (blisk). Domain ontologies are evolved and incorporated, as well as used with Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) to implement a comprehensive PLM in the Internet of Production. An architecture based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF) that offers both ingestion and utilization of valuable information along the blisk lifecycle, and therefore enables PLM for all involved participants, is presented.
