An Integrated Information System for Product Design Assistance based on Artificial Intelligence and Collaborative Tools
Résumé
Most of the time, innovative product concept identification is based on strategic and complex processes. Design actors' individual initiatives and development of new ideas emerge from conflicting contexts combining technical, economical and social aspects. In this paper, we propose a new approach that aims at assisting design product from the early phases of the design process to the embodiment design phase. We suggest a combination of Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) system and specific developed tools (Metamodelling techniques, Numeric-CSP solver and “Innovation Development and Diffusion” system) in order to enhance cultural heterogeneity encountered within team project and to take advantage of this aspect to foster design innovation and product quality.
