We have promoted the IMS (Intelligent Manufacturing Systems)-VIPNET (Virtual Production Enterprise Network) project in the plan from 2000 for five years. The purpose of IMS-VIPNET is embodying the VIPNET which can do optimal combination of core competences. For this reason, in IMS-VIPNET, the Technology Knowledge Infrastructure covering life cycles, such as a product, and technology, service, which accumulates, shares, utilizes and creates information and knowledge has been built. The basic architecture of the Technology Knowledge Infrastructure was developed. Moreover, the technology of information and knowledge description model GPM (Generic Product Model), the GPM DWH (Data Warehouse), the knowledge processing system, etc. were also developed. The developed technologies were applied to the real process plants and the practicality was checked. This paper reports the knowledge processing system.
