Abstract Product design information represents not only the carrier of design but also the significant digital assets of businesses. At present, manufacturing is facing an environment with mass, fragmented, real-time, and multi-scene digital information in the process of product design. To improve the availability of information resources and the efficiency of information reuse as well as to achieve the sharing of production means, the expression of product design information should be optimized in information storage. In addition, a new ecosystem should be built for information increments, making the participants of every link in the process of product design become the contributors of information. Considering the unique aspects of design group individuals, this paper builds a knowledge transfer model that capitalizes on hypercycle theory and proposes the concept of modularizing information carriers and information processing methods. It comprehensively analyses the expression methodology and organizational attributes of product design information and proposes a knowledge transfer carrier model constructed via discretized fragmented semantic information, which is concretely implemented as informative product file labelling. By combining personnel, information carriers and information dissemination networks, this paper provides the functionality and architecture needed to build an information processing platform using social networking software (SNS). Some application scenarios are described by using this processing method for production information; the development process for an automotive air filter is shown as an example. The results of this study suggest that the proposed method is conducive to improving the expressions of product design information and the interactions among participants. The simplicity of the labelling process and the intuitive label content greatly reduce the usability threshold and the losses caused by information gaps, creating a precondition for many types of people to fully participate in the product design information knowledge transfer cycle.

表达产品设计信息和组织的知识转移方法

摘要 产品设计信息不仅是设计的载体，也是企业重要的数字资产。目前，制造业在产品设计过程中面临着海量、碎片化、实时、多场景的数字化信息环境。为提高信息资源的可用性和信息重用效率，实现生产手段的共享，应优化产品设计信息在信息存储中的表达。此外，要构建信息增量新生态，让产品设计过程中每一个环节的参与者都成为信息的贡献者。考虑到设计团体个人的独特方面，本文利用超循环理论构建了知识转移模型，提出了模块化信息载体和信息处理方法的概念。综合分析了产品设计信息的表达方法和组织属性，提出了通过离散化的碎片化语义信息构建的知识转移载体模型，具体实现为信息化的产品文件标注。通过结合人员、信息载体和信息传播网络，本文提供了使用社交网络软件（SNS）构建信息处理平台所需的功能和架构。使用这种生产信息处理方法描述了一些应用场景；以汽车空气滤清器的开发过程为例。本研究结果表明，所提出的方法有利于改善产品设计信息的表达和参与者之间的互动。简单的标注流程和直观的标注内容，大大降低了可用性门槛和信息鸿沟带来的损失，为多类人群全面参与产品设计信息知识传递循环创造了前提。
