The PROMISE technologies are a new type of closed-loop Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) using smart embedded systems, which allow tracking of product information at all times and in any location around the world. This new closed-loop PLM, developed and validated in the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) project PROMISE, enables product users, maintainers, and manufacturers to manage the life cycle information of their products seamlessly over all life cycle phases. Better understanding of product life cycles leads to process improvements and reduced total product costs; better product quality; improved supply chain efficiency; and better rebuilding and recycling choices. This book provides industrial users, as well as the broad R&D community with an understanding of the principles behind the PROMISE technologies, their successful implementation in the PROMISE demonstrators, and their enormous potential to improve competitive advantage across the industrial spectrum.
