Hardware requirements for digital product memories

Abstract

Although the focus of the SemProM project is clearly on the consistent information concept of digital product memories, some kind of hardware is needed when ideas and concepts become reality. As stated in Blocher (2013), the SemProM project investigated a wide range of use cases, because one of the goals was to identify areas with high potential for improvement using Digital Product Memories (DPMs). As a result, a large number of hardware requirements were accumulated. In this chapter the requirements are clustered and summarized. Two specific applications exemplify the requirements.
