Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for assessing a lifecycle of a component. In an embodiment, the method includes: obtaining, using a simulation device, model description information that corresponds to component models of some or all components in the production line; obtaining at least one piece of data information that is needed by at least one component model that corresponds to the model description information; performing event marking based on the event information on the obtained data information; obtaining component status information of a corresponding component of each model based on the marked data information; and generating a corresponding analysis report based on the component status information from. An advantage of an embodiment is that, a failure mode, a key module, and a measurement rule no longer rely on manual operations and experience of an expert. Instead corresponding information may be precisely provided by using a PLM system.
