The need to capture, manage and utilize design knowledge and automate processes unique to a manufacturer’s product development experience has led to the development of Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) technology. The purpose of KBE is to provide a specialized design environment to the users for capturing design intent. The goal of KBE technology is to provide design organizations with a high-level programming environment for capturing and infusing this valuable knowledge into its product design processes and to engineer to manufacture products with more consistent product quality and increased production efficiency.
KBE helps in reduction in design time, eliminates checking, captures product knowledge and allows companies to customise more and more products, with shorter lead time, increasing market share and revenues.
