GlossaryKind of term: BlakeManufacturing world model
What is the manufacturing world model?
Subduxion's manufacturing world model records how a part, its requirements, material, processes, machines and your team's decisions relate.
The manufacturing world model is the model from Subduxion that underlies Blake. It records how a part, its requirements, the material, the processes, the machines and your team's decisions relate to each other. A drawing requirement belongs to the part and the revision it appears on, an estimate line to the machine and the rate it uses, and a confirmation to the person who gave it and when. It is not a file or a screen but the set of connections both rest on.
What is the manufacturing world model often confused with?
In AI research a world model usually means a learned model that predicts how an environment will develop. The manufacturing world model in Blake, by contrast, records which requirements, choices and confirmations belong to a part. Nor is it the workspace: the workspace is what you open, the world model is the structure beneath it. And it is not a digital thread, which links a product's data across systems and life stages, from design through production to service; today the world model records the connections from request through estimate to quote.
How do you see the manufacturing world model in Blake?
In Blake the manufacturing world model appears as one connected context per part: model and drawing paired, the drawing requirements as proposals, the revisions, the setups per route and the estimate with the inputs on each line. Every confirmed decision is kept in it, with who made it and when.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to switch on or configure the manufacturing world model in Blake?
No. It is the way Blake records a part, with requirements, material, processes, machines and decisions tied together. You notice it not in a button but in decisions that stay on record with who made them and when.
How is it different from the history in our ERP?
An ERP mainly records what was booked, such as orders, hours and material. The world model records what was decided while estimating: which drawing value was confirmed or corrected, which setup was accepted per route and which estimate line was changed and for what reason.
