A novel product life-cycle management architecture of construction machinery

This paper illustrates the product life-cycle management architecture of construction machinery under the background of the rapid development of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and internet of things. The significance and definition of product life-cycle management is proposed before analyzing the connection among three different stages in detail. Then a more vivid system diagram called product life-cycle management house is proposed and described specifically as the basis of building product life-cycle management system. The operating mechanism is also stated and four specific applications of product life-cycle management are presented. Finally an integrated life-cycle management system of bucket wheel is given to show the effectiveness of this architecture.
