INTEGRATIVE DATA PROCESSING FOR CONNECTED CYBER-PHYSICAL OFF-SITE AND ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION

A significant obstacle concerning the aspired co-design approach is a centralized data management.

Even if this obstacle has been targeted from different perspectives in the past, utilizing data models and formats in the domain building engineering as well as from the domain of mechanical and plant engineering, it has not been solved till today. The models represent the flow alongside the process chain. However, a backflow of information is out of scope for most approaches.

This research project aims at addressing this shortcoming by creating a central data management platform with a standardized syntax and semantic that is shared throughout the whole process chain and supports interoperability between all stages, demonstrated by a codesign approach for an adaptive production system.

To identify the relevant data sources and formats, data acquisition is part of the requirements definition. Based on the results of this acquisition, we define the software architecture of the overall data management framework alongside with its internal data model. We further incorporate semantics into the framework and devise proper interfaces for relevant data formats. The data mapped into the central data management platform serves as a basis for algorithms that analyze the deviation of a monitored state from the anticipated state to then allow for the implementation of a feedback loop to devise an adaptive production system.

  @article{Ellwein_2021, abstract = {The term co-design describes a collaborative design process, usually across the boundaries of individual areas. A major aspect, and often an obstacle in the implementation of the co-design approach, is the establishment of a centralized data management system. In the past, the data management concept has been approached from different perspectives. Current approaches usually are oriented along the process chain and thus reflect a unidirectional flow of information. Neither the information feedback nor the reaction to adjustments in upstream model steps is supported, which makes continuous collaboration more difficult and at best reduces the co-design approach for continuous data usage. This paper addresses these weaknesses while outlining an integrative data processing concept enabling co-design between the domains of construction and industrial prefabrication. Geometrical information generated during architectural design and construction planning is reused for the production of components, manufacturing-related design adjustments are transferred back into the domain of construction. Changes throughout the entire process are centrally recorded. To ensure independence from the software tools used and to consider their great diversity, data exchange is largely based on standards, namely industry foundation classes and the standard for the exchange of product model data. In order to counteract the sequential processing according to a waterfall model and to support the co-design approach, the industrial prefabrication toolchain, consisting of computer-aided manufacturing software and downstream postprocessors, is largely automated, so that reprocessing of a workpiece for minor geometric adjustments no longer requires any interaction of the production planner.}, author = {Ellwein, Carsten and Reichle, Alexander and Herschel, Melanie and Verl, Alexander}, doi = {10.1016/j.procir.2021.05.103}, journal = {Procedia CIRP}, note = {31st CIRP Design Conference 2021 (CIRP Design 2021)}, pages = {451-456}, publisher = {Elsevier {BV}}, title = {Integrative data processing for cyber-physical off-site and on-site construction promoting co-design}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212827121005746}, volume = 100, year = 2021 }
