Abstract

The key idea of the work presented is to explore how a combination of advanced Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Knowledge Management (KM) technologies can be used to assure a sustainable and safe use of Manufacturing and Assembly Lines (MAL) and their infrastructure over their life-cycle. The specific intention is to reduce the whole service-life operational costs and impact of MAL, providing new ways to monitor on-line Life-Cycle Parameters (LCP) of MAL and improved services to support MAL throughout its whole life-cycle. The paper presents a new system for effective life cycle management of complex MAL, including computation of LCP based on information obtained from AmI systems within MAL, and delivery of improved services around MAL.
