报告摘要:
Increasingly the convergence of natural environment (land, water, air and life), built environment (housing, buildings,
transportation and infrastructure) and digital environment (computing power, the internet, big data, and technology) is
shaping the economies and societies. Smart living is taking root. Mass customization of products and services
ispreferred over mass production. Businesses wish to serve an individual customer at a competitive cost comparable to
the mass production cost, with shortest possible development time and production time. This requires manufacturing to
change from a more labour intensive processes to information technology enabled mechanical processes. Digital
communications is a broader concept of innovation in which the digital and other advancements enable the company to
conceive products in a desired style and quantity in time scales shorter than the conventional methods while efficiently
managing the entire product lifecycle. It is about defining manufacturing processes and managing manufacturing
process information via full digital product definition. It encompasses visualization, manufacturing simulation,
ergonomic and human factor analyses, holistic view of product and process design, and product design sensitive to the
process constraints and capabilities.
