livssyklusdata

Livssyklusdata is a term used in product lifecycle management and asset management to denote the data that describes the complete lifecycle of a product, asset, or system. It covers stages from ideation and design to manufacture, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal. The data can include technical specifications, design revisions, materials, manufacturing parameters, performance and reliability metrics, maintenance histories, usage patterns, environmental impacts, and end-of-life options.

The data serves multiple purposes, including decision support, sustainability reporting, regulatory compliance, and risk management. By linking information across stages, organizations can trace how design choices influence performance, estimate total cost of ownership, and identify opportunities for reuse, recycling, or redesign. Livssyklusdata is central to concepts such as product lifecycle management (PLM), asset management, and circular economy strategies.

Typical data categories include product data (bills of materials, CAD files, and version histories), process data (manufacturing and assembly parameters), performance data (energy use, failure rates), maintenance and service records, usage and condition monitoring, and end-of-life data (disposal, recycling, refurbishing options). Metadata such as timestamps, authorship, data provenance, and quality indicators are essential for traceability and governance.

Standards and interoperability play a key role, with frameworks like ISO 10303 (STEP) for product data and ISO 14040/44 for life cycle assessment used to harmonize data models and exchange. Data governance, data quality, and lineage management are important to ensure accuracy, security, and timely updates across organizational boundaries.
