The DEMI project aims to provide a means to enhance existing product/process design methods and tools to optimise energy use pattern over the product/process life cycle by developing:
These project results will be developed to enable a better use of design supporting ICT systems and to provide a dynamic stimulus, an exemple is the provision dynamic and context sensitive simulations where the what-if scenarios are realised by services narrowing down the multitude of possible parameters/factors/variables to target the simulations at key values and factors that really matter.
Generic Software components shall be applicable for enhancement of different (existing) product/process design tools and approaches regarding energy use of manufacturing processes. Within the project the integration of these generic SW components with the three existing product and/or process design systems of the project beneficiaries will be investigated:
- ICT vendor Moldware tools for designing boring and cooling systems
- ICT vendor SISTEPLANT tools for Lean process design
- Installation engineering company MBAS design system, where these new components will be applied as support tools in the existing process engineering system
