Definitions
- the present invention relates to a computer-aided system and method for displaying component and process structures for configurable product classes which are stored in a data structure.
- a database can contain component lists for hundreds of different products, which means that identical components are listed separately for each product to which they are assigned.
- a system can be useful for the manufacture of the products, it is impractical from a development standpoint. For example, a developer cannot easily overlook the number of products or product classes affected by a change in a particular component. It is also difficult to get a clear picture of which components are common to certain product classes and which only are specific to a particular product in a class. Neither can the developer oversee the path of a particular product and its components through the production processes. From a cost standpoint, these are important features because they allow a developer to decide whether to add or change certain components based on the number of products or classes of products affected. A precise overview of the components and processes that are assigned to product classes is crucial for efficient design and manufacture.
- the system contains a data structure with a tree-like representation of the various components and substructure elements for a single model of an automobile. Each component is represented by a node and is assigned to specific variants, such as "leather” and "vinyl” for the component "seat".
- the structure is limited to a single product class and the components are mapped to at most one product class. Therefore, the system does not provide an alternative view of components that are associated with general product classes and components associated with specific products, which would be desirable from both a development and production standpoint.
- Another example of a known system for mapping a similar structure is the STEP protocol ISO 10303-214.
- this system maps the processes and components for a certain product class, it does not distinguish between the actual production steps that are required for a general process and the steps required for specific processes. Accordingly, this system cannot exactly support or represent the actual production steps that are required for the production of a specific product variant.
- STEP does not allow the display of components and processes that are assigned to different product classes, nor is it possible to disassemble a specific component according to more than one variant.
- Another object of the invention is
- Provision of component nodes and process nodes in the data structure which represent individual components and processes that are used in the data structure.
- Another object of the invention is to provide component variants for individual component nodes in the data structure, which represent the scope and possible uses of specific articles that are used for this component and their quantities.
- Another object of the invention is to provide process variants for each process node in the data structure that represent the scope of production steps that are used for this process.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a selection state in the data structure which specifies the specific component variant and process variant which are to be used for a specific product variant in accordance with the specific product parameters of the product variant.
- Another object of the invention is to support more than one possible decomposition for a particular component in the data structure.
- Another object of the invention is to enable a graphical view on a visual display for all components that are assigned to a product class. Another object of the invention is to enable a graphical view of all processes that are assigned to components in a product class on a visual display.
- Another object of the invention is to enable a graphical view of all components for a specific product variant on a visual display.
- a computer-aided system is equipped with a memory which contains a product variant data structure, products being grouped hierarchically according to classes. Components are applied to all individual product classes to which they are assigned. Manufacturing processes are mapped to all individual components to which they are assigned. The component variants and process variants, which represent the specific concrete articles and production steps for producing a specific product, are assigned to each component or process. Product classes and subclasses are displayed graphically on a display in a tree structure with their assigned components, component variants and / or process variants.
- Components i.e. Abstractions of concrete articles used in the product are represented by component nodes.
- Each component node is assigned to a specific product class and one or more component variants that represent the scope of specific articles that are used in the product for this component.
- the "wheel” component includes the "tire” and “rim” components.
- Specific component variants for "rim” can include aluminum rim, steel rim type A and steel rim type B.
- Component variants have a selection state that selects the corresponding component variants for a specific product or "product variant” in the relevant product class. The quantity of all selected component variants forms the material list for this specific product variant.
- Processes that are abstractions of actual steps used in the production process are represented by process nodes.
- Each process node is generally assigned to at least one component and one or more process variants, which are the actual production steps that are used for certain variants of the component or components concerned.
- the generalized process "door assembly" can contain a first process variant, the actual Represents production steps that are necessary for the assembly of a normal door and a second process variant that represents the various production steps that are necessary for the assembly of a door that is equipped, for example, with an automatic lifting mechanism.

- FIG. 3 an example for the application view “material requirements planning” on the product class “mountain bike” in the data structure
- FIG. 4 an example for the application view "Production and process planning (routing)", which is assigned to the process "door assembly” in the data structure,
- FIG. 5 a flow chart of the method for displaying a graphical representation of an application view node
- FIG. 6 a flow diagram of the method for displaying the material list for a specific product variant
- FIG. 7 the breakdown of a product class into narrower product classes in the data structure
- FIG. 8 Component variants of a component node in relation to a product class in the data structure
- FIG. 9 an example of the alternative decomposition of a component in the data structure
- FIG. 10 a summary of the articles of the product variant data structure in a data model according to EXPRESS-G (ISO 10303-11).
- the product variant data structure 1 of the computer-aided system is divided into four layers: the product layer 2, the application view layer 3, the node structure layer 4 and the variant layer 5.
- the uppermost layer is the product layer 2, which results from a description of products and product families each with certain parameters.
- This layer can be structured hierarchically to show the relationship between product families.
- the "Small Car” product class can consist of the "Model A” and "Model B” subclasses as shown.
- the next layer allows viewing a particular product class in different ways, depending on departmental requirements. For example, technology must see all top-level device nodes that are assigned to a generic product class.
- FIG. 2 shows the “Technology” application view 13, which is a collection of all component nodes 101 of the top layer, which are assigned to “transport vehicle” or any of its subclasses “bicycle”, “mountain bike” or “racing bike” are. Similarly, material requirements planning may require a view of all component nodes that are used in the production of a more specific product class.
- FIG. 3 shows the application view “Production” 14, which depicts all component nodes 101 that are used in the production of the more specific product class “Mountain bike”.
- Production planning may need a view of the path of a particular product through its production steps, and would have to see all process nodes that are assigned to a certain product class, as well as all component nodes that are assigned to these process nodes.
- FIG. 4 shows the application view "Production and process planning (routing)" 15, which represents the integration of product disassembly and process operations.
- the “door assembly” process node 104 is connected to the “door” component node 105 and the nodes 106, which represent its substructure elements.
- the application view layer 2 preferably stores different views of departments in the company.
- the central processor of the computerized system converts the application view into a graphical representation for visual display on the display of the computerized system.
- FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of the sequence of receiving the application view node from the user interface 20, translating the application view node into a graph 21, and displaying the graph on a display 22.
- the user interface, the central processor, and the display of the system R / 3 are among others for receiving the input of the desired application view node, its conversion into a graphical representation for visual display and for displaying the graphical representation.
- the node structure layer 4 represents the functional decomposition of the product into components and processes.
- the main elements of the node structure layer 4 are nodes 101, to which component nodes and process nodes belong.
- Component nodes are abstractions of the specific items used in the product. For example, an automobile may have a separate component node for "engine” but not for a particular type of engine. Instead, the Actual articles that are used to manufacture the product are indicated by component variants that are assigned to the component nodes. Component variants are discussed in more detail below in the context of variant layer 5.
- Process nodes are connected to device nodes and are abstractions of the actual steps used to handle the device in the production process.
- the “door” component can have a separate process node for “door assembly”, but not for the assembly of a specific type of door that may require other production steps. Instead, the actual production steps with which the component is handled in the production process are specified by process variants that are assigned to process nodes. Process variants are discussed in more detail below in the context of the variant layer.
- the node structure layer 4 consists of all component nodes and process nodes for a specific product class. It has a multi-layer structure for displaying components, their subordinate components and related processes.
- the bottom layer of the product variant structure 1 is the variant layer 5, which consists of variants 102 which are related to nodes 101, including component variants which are related to component nodes, and process variants which are related to process nodes.
- Component variants are concrete articles that are used as part of the end product.
- the device node is replaced with one of its related device variants. Since more than one component variant can be related to a component node, there is a selection condition that is assigned to each component node and that specifies the product parameter for which each component variant is used. For a given specific product with specific According to the parameters or a product variant, the variant layer can deliver its material list accordingly.
- the material list for a particular product variant can be obtained by specifying the desired product variant through the user interface of the computerized system, whereupon the central processor uses the selection conditions to determine the material list for the specified product variant and to display the specific component variants used in the product variant become.
- FIG. 6 shows the steps of receiving the selection of a product variant from the user interface 30, the use of the selection conditions associated with the component node 31 and the display of the material list on a display 32.
- the central processor can also determine the specific process variants or all actual production steps involved in the Production of the specified product variant can be used on a visual display.
- Process variants represent concrete operations that are used in the production process for specific component variants.
- Process variants are related to process nodes and are selected by a selection condition on the basis of the desired product variant (and thus the specific component variant). Accordingly, the variant layer for a given specific product with specific component variants can provide its concrete path through the actual production steps.
- Component variants are selected and end products are produced by specifying parameters of a certain product class.
- product classes 6 are represented hierarchically and consist of “producible” and “non-producible” categories.
- “transport vehicle” 40 and “bicycle” 41 non-producible product classes that are only used for structuring
- “Mountain-Bike” 42 and “Rennrad” 43 are producible product classes. Both the producible and the non-producible classes and their assigned nodes and variants are considered in more detail in the application view layer 3.
- Component nodes and process nodes are the main elements of the product variant structure 1 of the computer-aided system.
- the component node 101 "engine” in an automobile can be the specific article "2.4-liter, 6-cyl.” have as one of its associated component variants.
- node 101 is depicted as a triangle with a letter indicating its type 9 (for example, "C” for device nodes and "P" for process nodes).
- a symbol 10 represents the name of the component or the process, a number describes its relevant product class 6 and points stand for the variants 102 which are assigned to this node 101. Since component nodes can be related to more than one product class 6, a variant differentiation function distinguishes attributes from component variants, such as the quantity of a specific component variant or the selection status according to product class 6.
- the nodes 101 are related in three ways. For example, in an automobile, the "wheel” component node is connected to the "rim” and "tire” component node. This is referred to as a "decomposition type” node relationship. A process node can also be broken down into multiple process nodes so that the breakdown node relationship can be of the "CC” or "pp” type. The "connection relationship” establishes the production process flow between component nodes and process nodes. Because processes are also without an intermediate component can be connected to each other, the connection relationship can be of the type "CP", "PC” and "pp".
- the nodes 101 are also connected to an application view, which establishes the connection between the product layer and the node structure layer 4 of the product variant structure 1. This is known as a view node relationship.
- FIG. 9 shows how a component node 101 in the node structure layer can have more than one decomposition into subordinate components. The choice between different decompositions depends on different criteria, e.g. B. the factory where the product is manufactured. Different node segments 12 are provided for each alternative decomposition of a component into subordinate components.
- FIG. 10 shows a summary of the product variant structure 1 in a data model 14 with instances according to EXPRESS-G (ISO 10303-11).
