| Abstract |
|
Parallel to the development of a main product such as a
car body or a mobile phone, numerous tools and dies need
to be specified, developed and produced. The process chain
of the tools and dies industry represents the functional link
between the main product development and the mass production
of that product. The evolving market, as well as the
changing production and supplier structures of main product
vendors are forcing the producers of tools and dies to
change their traditional working methods and to focus on
global production operations. As a result, there is an increasing
need for collaborative systems in the tool and die
manufacturing industry. Off-the-shelf collaborative systems
do not meet the special needs of tools and die producers
and such systems often have to be customized. This paper
reports on the ongoing design and industrial implementation
of a collaborative environment to support concurrent
engineering in a manufacturing network.
