Abstract
Japan's plant & machinery industry is now faced with many issues such as the need for younger technicians, globalization of manufacturing points and the shortening of product life cycles. The building of engineering knowledge and technology transfer systems is therefore a requisite that needs to be established by this industry. In line with this trend, a digital system named the Engineering Knowledge 3D Visualization System, equipped with a 3D graphical user interface and using multi-media data, has been developed to replace conventional analog such systems. This system comprises two modules, one which effectively extracts and formalizes engineering knowledge (data) from expert engineers, and another which processes and displays the formalized engineering knowledge data. The registered contents are capable to be printed out as needed by an analog function included in the system. This paper outlines the Digital 3D Visualization System and introduces typical application examples of the Pump digital catalog, Custom pump training manual, and Mechanical seal technical manual developed for the Plant & Machinery industry.
