Semantic Product Lifecycle Management with Knowledge Graphs

This use case demo is about semantic Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and how knowledge graphs can help enable it. Product structures are multidimensional hierarchies by nature. Product life cycles are usually split up by phases and disciplines, which naturally create silos.
Due to mass production and strong dynamics the automotive industry is one of the most complex manufacturing related industries in terms of product data management. Compound this with the fact most car manufacturers do not offer only one single model to their clients. All models must be strongly intertwined as they share parts, delivery trucks and manufacturing lines.
This demo shows you how we integrate said data throughout the product lifecycle, which:
Provides transparency over the so-called product DNA,
Reduces time to market,
Configuration management,
Enabling design to line workflows
and much more.
