Research On Inference Engine Based On Intellisense In Product Configuration

With the rapid development of globalization and the fast variability of market,such problems may increase the cost of company’s production and prolong the product’s development cycle,all above things have been thought as the factors that it will cause the problem about low efficiency of product design.Product configuration technology,an efficient method for designing new products,is used to solve above problems.Through searching the product configuration methods,comparing different inference engines,and analyzing the disadvantages of implementing technology which used in inference engines,technology which can meet the mass customization is built finally.Although the knowledge engineering technology(KBE)used in product configuration inference engine have become ordinary technology,in order to increase the efficiency of knowledge creation in knowledge engineering,IntelliSense technology which has been widely used in Artificial intelligence is transplanted during the work of inference engine.Through the input of some knowledge information,the inference engine can push the whole knowledge information to the display screen on which the designer can receive information.The main research work of this paper is as follows:(1)In accordance with the logical thinking habits of the designer to create rules and use knowledge engineering technology,an inference engine was proposed to meet the product configuration.In the implementation process of inference engine,the key technologies are mainly including knowledge representation,knowledge storage,knowledge analysis,and knowledge reasoning.It was used to create corresponding rules for the configurable BOM structure of the product.The computer can use the information about corresponding rules to output a reasonable product structure.At the same time,this configuration system inference engine module will support the expansion of design knowledge in the knowledge base.All above things can improve knowledge Inheritance and reuse.Finally,it can save much time for designers when they create knowledge information.(2)Think about the features related with complex products,a method based on a rule-base configuration is used in here.New knowledge is put into knowledge base by designers,during this process,knowledge is mainly based on the production rules and mixed with the process representation supplements.According to the intelligent analysis and Rule-based reasoning,the customer only needs to input the demand parameters,a product design structure will be created quickly that meets the requirements.It can improve the efficiency of product design.(3)Since IntelliSense technology has been proved that it has the ability to improve acknowledge creation efficiency in other fields.In order to increase the efficiency of knowledge creation,the further researches about how to use IntelliSense in inference engines to carry on.(4)Innovated application of inference engine which based on IntelliSense technology has achieved in the process of transformer product configuration.A platform of product configuration system is built to store and reuse the design knowledge generated during the design process of the configurable product.This system can achieve the purpose to create product rapidly.
