An Approach to an Individual Product Development Using Advanced Measurement and Human Modeling Technologies

With the most recent development of information, communication and manufacturing technologies, industrial production of customised products is rapidly becoming recognised as major factor, affecting the efficiency and therefore the competitiveness of industrial companies. The heart piece of industrial individual production is the customer tied together with the infrastructure, of being able to communicate and serve him individually. There is a complex process chain behind the development from collecting individual customer data to reaching a product with an optimised fit. In order to make an efficient and cost-effective implementation of the individual technological steps possible, the overall concept is to be integrated into an adequate information and manufacturing structure.
