Product Life Cycle Management in the Digital Age

  • Chapter
Intelligent Knowledge-Based Systems

Abstract

The development ofmodern products is being decisively influenced by the application of technologies contributing towards increasing efficiency. Products are becoming complex highly-integrated systems with internal technical intelligence enabling the user to utilize them reliably, economically and successfully even in the fringe ranges of technology. As a result, business strategies are aiming more and more towards perfecting technical systems, optimizing product usage and maximizing added value over the entire life time of a product. In this context, the total management of product life cycles associated with the integration of information and communications systems is becoming a key success factor for industrial companies.
