KBE – Knowledge Based Engineering

By: Azad M Yakoob

The knowledge based engineering is a new technology that develops bridge between knowledge & engineering. It helps to automate systems based on real time information obtained through its other components.

KBE merges object-oriented programming, artificial intelligence, and computer aided design. KBE systems aim to capture product and process information to allow businesses to model engineering processes, and then use the model to automate all or part of the process.

KBE provides more power and flexibility in the development of design automation systems. KBE systems are designed to allow complex rules, heuristics, artificial intelligence, and agents to be embedded in the system. While, some KBE systems provide more direct control over geometry and topology as well as more advanced geometry introspection capabilities. These systems leverage reuse of corporate design knowledge to the maximum extent possible, eliminating mundane tasks within the complex process of transforming a product concept into production-ready details.
Main Outcomes of KBE

Shared intelligence
It helps to share intelligence among peers, colleagues & stake holders.

Improved performance
It improves overall performance of system through its diversified tools.

Competitive advantage
This system brings competitive advantage due its efficiency & effectiveness.

High level of innovation
It brings innovation at every stage and for every individual. 

Why KBE

No Knowledge Loss
No Knowledge misuse
Reduced cost
Increased efficiency

To remain competitive, it's imperative for manufacturing firms to embrace knowledge-based engineering (KBE)—the use of software tools and techniques for capturing and reusing intellectual property and product know-how in ways that bring product design into closer harmony with manufacturing, support, finance, procurement, sales, marketing, and other domains.

  1. i want to ask that is it a part of KMS (KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) or a Different SYSTEM that works identically?

  2. @ sajida

    an example of KBE is CAM/CAD (computer aided manufacturing and computer aided design ) softwares that are used by civil engineers for structure designing of buildings, as it is an application software so definitely a part of MIS

    1. yes i got it off-course its a part of MIS.but,all these are part Of KMS System?or something different.because we didnt go through something like that in KMS,as KMS are completly dealt with knowledge management SUCH AS MICROSOFT SHARE POINT SYSTEM That doesnot have any engineering and designing ability but its KMS

    2. Sajida, who told you that Microsoft SharePoint Server don't have any engineering and designing ability???? i am working on SharePoint for last 3 years. It is knowledge management tool plus it also provide you to create your own business flow that automate your entire manual process. In Allied Bank i have some experience of creating this type of application which is being used by more than 8,000 people nationwide in more than 900 branches. Just Google about SharePoint designer and workflows to increase your knowledge about SharePoint Server or simply known as MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server).
