Product data management

The activity of providing organizational records of resource and product usage, using tracking information to trace backward or forward from any point.

A manufacturing technology that uses digital quantification to express, store, process, and control, supporting the optimization of product lifecycles and overall enterprise operations.

Any entity composed of data.Example: A database is a data asset composed of data records.

Grid computing's core, responsible for providing remote process management, resource allocation, storage access, login and authentication, security, and service quality, among other functions.

By integrating various manufacturing resources such as raw materials, components, energy, and equipment using information technologies like QR codes, RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), software, etc., the integration progresses from smaller to larger scales, achieving the integration of smart equipment, smart production units, smart production lines, digital workshops, smart factories, and even smart manufacturing systems.

By means of system integration, data interoperability, human-machine interaction, flexible manufacturing, and information analysis optimization, it achieves efficient, closed-loop exchange, transmission, storage, and processing of information at all stages, from product design to sales, from equipment control to enterprise resource management, in a discrete manufacturing factory.
