Statement about the Project

It’s a consortium project in which INESC TEC participates as a developer and SIRMAF as a demonstrator.

Within the framework of the project, the support Methodology to the lifecycle management of product and factory was developed throughout the entire value chain of the mechatronics industry (mechanics, electronics and software).

The development of the IT Platform of the lifecycle management of product and factory (xPLM - extended PLM) is under way, aligned with the Industry 4.0 paradigm, according to the principles defined in the methodology of the lifecycle management of product and factory, with the following groups of functions:

  1. Management of the collaborative activities of the lifecycle of product and factory;
  2. Management of the technical information of the product and the factory

The most relevant result was the specification of the Platform of Lifecycle Management of product and factory, suitable for SMEs in the mechatronics sector and for the challenges of Industry 4.0. Namely in terms of the collaborative work, the connectivity, the digitalisation and the growing incidence of the conversion of products in their lifecycle.

While collaborating with INESC TEC, we valued the knowledge of the national industry based on the direct collaboration with the companies, the investment and the results in the research of topics related to Industry 4.0 and the professionalism in the organisation and planning of the project.
