5. Vision: 3D-only paperless engineering design to
Vision: 3D-only paperless engineering design to manufacturing planning and execution
Capture and share overall design intent & engineering specifications within the 3D model
Completely define Engineering Requirements within the 3D model, eliminating the need for 2D drawings
All engineering requirements including specifications, tolerances, flag notes, standard parts, etc. are directly usable and reconcilable within V5 (Geometry-based) Mfg Process Planning
Allows configured mfg planning evolution without forcing corresponding engineering changes
Enables process-driven MBOM-Export from the single data model to part ordering systems
Provides the ability to automate reconciliation and auditing of engineering requirements use
Tightens the collaboration between engineering and mfg teams

6. Leverage knowledge contained in design and mfg planning definition to automatically generate detailed shop floor work instructions
Reuse knowledge contained within the 3D model, such as engineering requirements, to “auto-generate” configurable, template-based shop floor instructions directing execution
Automate 3D work instruction authoring and delivery to the shop floor for a specific configuration / effectivity range
Work instructions self-adapt to design changes, thus reducing authoring time/effort and improving detail accuracy
Enable efficient planning of multiple models and configurations in the same Process Plan, while delivering accurate shop floor instructions per line/tail/serial number based on configuration

7. Vision: Leverage knowledge contained in design and mfg planning definition to automatically generate Robot & PLC programs
For Production Engineer
Process Planning and Validation
For Production Systems
For Control Engineer
　 Design and Validate the Control
of Production Systems
Reuse knowledge contained within the 3D model, to generate and validate robot and PLC programs
Provide the concurrent engineering environment for Production Engineer and Control Engineer
Programs would self-adapt to design changes, thus reducing reprogramming time/effort
Enable efficient programming of multiple models and configurations in the same program

8. Challenges of Smart Assembly
What are the tough implementation problems (infrastructure, standards) that must be solved to make “smart assembly” a reality?

9. Historic Model - Internal & External Suppliers build-to-print
Build-to-print requires that all product specifications that drive (manufacturing and) assembly must be communicated and maintained constantly
In most cases still “drawing based” even if the drawing is communicated electronically
Supplier has to review each drawing in detail to understand requirements
Not easily accessible to a Smart Assembly solution
Model Based Definition
Requirements and attributes are contained in the CAD model of components and assemblies or maintained in the PLM system
More easily available to Smart Assembly solution but no standards
Suppliers must maintain interface capabilities to the CAD, PDM/PLM and Knowledge systems of each of their customers
Today’s use of STEP does not provide an effective communication of engineering requirements between CAD systems
specifications, tolerances, flag notes, weld symbols, etc

10. Outsourcing Model – Design & Build
OEM is a system integrator
OEM communicates requirements to Partner / Supplier who designs and builds components
Eliminates much of the data transmittal problems associated with the build-to-print business model
Minimizes problems of disparate CAD, PDM, and Knowledge systems between OEM and Supplier
Need a standard model for communicating form, fit, function and interface requirements to:
Facilitate communications with suppliers
Provide the ability to obtain competitive quotes on a well understood set of requirements
