摘要
The fiercely competitive global market is obligating mould and die manufacturers to embrace Computer-Supported Collaborative Design (CSCD) as a way to shorten delivery time and improve product quality. A number of collaborative tools have been developed to keep up with demand. Unfortunately, these existing tools support either collaborative review or collaborative design, but hardly consider the seamless integration of the two types of tools and the characteristics of mould and die. This paper presents a novel framework that combines co-review and co-design in one system so as to cover different aspects of mould and die design. The framework consists of four tiers. In the core, five databases serving different purposes are settled for geographically distributed engineers to inherit various disciplines and propagate their intents. Then, an access-control mechanism is employed to synchronize and secure data during the process of mould and die design in the next tier. For the purpose of interchanging information in real time, an event-driven strategy is applied in the third tier. Afterwards, the outmost tier provides uniform interfaces for invoking application tools and manipulating design information in the collaborative system. Finally, the framework proves effective to support simultaneous collaborative design of mould and die through an example scenario.
