AmePLM 2014 - Workshop on Advanced Platforms for Manufacturing Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management (AmePLM)

The workshop is in the framework of the PF7 project “Advanced Platform for manufacturing engineering and Product Lifecycle Management” (amePLM http://www.ameplm.eu).
The workshop will provide an opportunity, not only for the projects partners but also for researchers and practitioners, to exchange new ideas and results about Product Life Management (PLM) approaches.
PLM is not just a software system: it is an approach to manage products over their lifecycle, starting with capturing new product ideas, following with catching all product definition data and extending to the definitions of all life cycle processes and monitoring customer satisfaction. Hence the PLM is a strategy to maximize the value of the total product offering by flexibly responding to individual customer needs. Today, thank to the new technologies and ICT tools, the research in this field involves different areas such as automation, operational research, computer science, production research.
The aim of the workshop is to show how a PLM integrated system can support the product and the production engineers by a radically new and extensible approach to collaborative engineering of products and productions that leverages state-of-the art research on semantics, heuristics and visualization.
This event should provide a discussion platform to present novel research and achieved results based on the amePLM project. Moreover, new ideas and approaches as well as near future plans can be discussed which turn this initiative into the position to become a larger framework for many application domains.
Contributions to this workshop will address, but are not limited to:
Advanced Platform for manufacturing Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management
A System Approach Perspective to evaluate the adoption of a novel PLM platform
Questionnaire-based Assessment for amePLM Platform adoption in a Typical Organization
Transforming the Information Ecology via a Semantically-enriched 3D Workspace
The role of the simulation on the Product Lifecycle Management
Workshop Presentation: Oral invited presentations
The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee ?Automation in Logistics? of the Robotics and Automation Society.
