Abstract
Data is collected from different industrial domains. Organizing that data makes change anticipation more planned and streamlined. This paper introduces a novel holistic model of associating different domains of industrial data. The model establishes a tree graph called cladogram to create a unified classification of data from market segments, product design and manufacturing capabilities and it is expandable beyond these domains. The cladogram is produced by the widely used biological Cladistics analysis, without modification. This approach has a great degree of simplicity without introducing an extra layer of mathematical modelling, while resulting in a data-inclusive graphical representation. A case study of automated and flexible assembly is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and its simplicity. Model results are significant, since they could reveal associations of the definitions of the objects from different data domains, which were used later in response to future changes in those domains.
