Research Of The Product Data Management Architecture And Key Technologies Facing The Collaborative Design

The subject stems from the project provided by the scientific and technological bureau of Guangxi. The title of the project is "PDM and ERP software development-development of product data management system (0330005-2B)". This thesis emphasizes on research of collaboration-oriented design environment and development document management and product configuration management in product data management system.In order to respond to the fast changes of the global market, and to develop the required product with high quality in a short time, enterprises are now focusing on collaborative product development within themselves. PDM (product data management) is the technology to manage product-related information and processes throughout the lifecycle of product. It is the essential element of information integration for enterprise. This thesis starts from the technology of product data management, discusses the key technology of product data management in collaboration-oriented design environment.According to real requirement of manufacturing enterprise, using in the field of collaborative design and using object-oriented technology, the product data management key technology facing collaborative design is deeply researched in this thesis. Some results are made not only in the aspects of the collaborative-design-oriented product data management systemic modal and frame, but also in the specific architectures of distributed document management system and model of product configuration based Multi-Agent constructing. Document management,product configuration management and collaborative tools are developed and the results are satisfactory in enhancing the collaboration of designers, shortening design period and improving product quality.
