Abstract
Nowadays a product development process is often based on experience and collected product lifecycle information. The communication between machines and equipment and a consistency throughout the whole product lifecycle are enabled by Industry 4.0. In the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 653 several aspect for communicative and intelligent products are developed. The CRC aims to develop smart products, so-called gentelligent products, which collect and store their lifecycle information inherently and give feedback to the development and production. In this publication it is shown how the development process is supported by the experience and information of gentelligent components supplied by Technical Inheritance. To provide relevant life cycle information for the development process the need of a product data management (PDM) system is shown. At the example of the Formular Student racing car RP09 the necessity of PDM for Technical Inheritance is shown to support the next generation development and its advantages discussed.
