Journal Article
Since virtual engineering has been introduced inside industries, time processes have been reduced and products are more adapted to customer needs. Nowadays, the digital mock-up (DMU) is the centre point for all teams: design, manufacturing, communication etc. However, physical mock-ups and prototypes are sometimes requested. Consequently, a back-and-forth action between the real and the virtual worlds is necessary. Our research team has developed a reverse-engineering methodology not only for capturing technical characteristics of industrial objects but also for capitalising knowledge and know-how which are required for contextualising life cycles. More precisely, we work with ancient industrial machines. It is what we call advanced industrial archaeology. Thanks to the coupling of different kinds of three-dimensional (3D) digitalisation technologies and computer aided design (CAD) software, we are able to re-design old industrial objects and old processes. To illustrate our proposal, we will describe one of the experiments we have done with a salt-washing machine which is nearly 100 years old: from the global 3D digitalisation of the plant to precise parts design, we have rediscovered the enterprise process and understoo its integration in the economic context.

Journal Article
Recent visions for the factory of the future highlight the importance of integrating the pillars of Knowledge Management (KM) in the whole manufacturing divisions involved in the product lifecycle development. The increasing usage of ICT tools in the factory coming with the digital (PLM, ERP, MES, etc.) and smart (IoT, RFID, Wi-Fi, etc.) manufacturing paradigms contributes to this vision with the aim of supporting factory workers in conducting better production outcomes. However, this expansion results a data and information overflow making the handling of the access to the exact needed information more and more complex. This fact explains the need for a contextual access to the information and more generally to the knowledge set in the factory. Based on some fundamentals derived from ubiquitous computing paradigm, this paper proposes an approach to handle contextual access to the manufacturing knowledge

About Me
Florent Laroche is Professor at École Centrale de Nantes, researcher at LS2N – Laboratoire des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes (UMR 6004), Vice-President for Continuing Education at Nantes Université, and associate researcher at the Centre François Viète for Epistemology and History of Science and Technology. A generalist engineer, PhD and HDR, he has devoted more than twenty years to interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of industrial engineering, digital technologies and the humanities. His work focuses on knowledge management applied to scientific, technical, industrial and cultural heritage, through 3D digitisation, digital twins, virtual reality, ontologies, heritage databases and artificial intelligence. Founder of the KLM for Heritage methodology — Knowledge Lifecycle Management for Heritage — he adapts industrial lifecycle tools to the preservation, structuring and transmission of ancient know-how, making heritage a driver for sustainable innovation and for shaping the future of society. He has designed, led or contributed to more than 30 research projects, with a cumulative budget of over €2.5 million, and is active as an expert in many scientific and heritage networks, including GIS S.mart, the 3D-HN Consortium and ICOMOS. He is the author, co-author or invited speaker of nearly 400 scientific contributions, cited more than 1,350 times, and has supervised or co-supervised 16 PhD theses and more than 30 master’s theses.
