Research on the Collaborative Product Design Platform Based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

To improve the response to customers’ demand and the efficiency & quality of product design in the networked collaborated environment, a new modeling framework of the product design platform based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is put forward. In accordance with the requirements of collaborative product design among the supply chain partners, the design platform established on the IoT is given to optimize and carry out the design process through the network. The fundamental structure, feasibilities, functions and key technologies of this platform are described in detail. Further more, a set of key issues are raised in this architecture, and the techniques employed in the solution are presented. All of these researches would provide significant practical references for enterprises to build the related product design platform.
