Knowledge-based Engineering

Overview

A competitive world demands innovative ideas to bring forth high quality products to the market quickly – especially in the context of engineering products in the aerospace and automotive industries, most of which are highly knowledge and experience driven. Even today, a significant portion of this knowledge base still exists in the form of tacit knowledge within the heads of experienced engineers specializing in niche disciplines.

Knowledge-based engineering (KBE) is an engineering product-development technology where the knowledge of the engineering products and their design processes are captured and embedded into a software system (known as a KBE system), which is then used to design and develop similar new products. This is product-specific, generic engineering knowledge captured and represented as a product model within the KBE system (suite of KBE applications). The designers then use these KBE applications to generate a new but similar product design for different input specifications. In fact, these KBE applications can be reused to generate as many new but similar product designs as required.

Infosys KBE offerings are centered on the core value-creation process for manufacturing industries, such as automotive, aerospace, power and heavy engineering. The Infosys KBE practice partners with global experts to provide automation-based digital accelerators across industries. It can save about 40% of effort and ensure successful project delivery by automating project setup, data migration, specifications creation, data integrity, routings and reporting.
