- ZeitschriftenartikelDer Mensch im Mittelpunkt der Fabrik von morgen(HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 52, No. 5, 2015) Richter, Alexander; Heinrich, Peter; Stocker, Alexander; Unzeitig, WolfgangUngeachtet der wichtigen Impulse des Industrie 4.0-Begriffs für die Förderlandschaft im deutschsprachigen Raum, macht seine Unschärfe es Praktikern und Forschern schwer ihn einzuordnen, um konkrete Anwendungsfälle für Innovationsprojekte zu identifizieren. Hier setzt der vorliegende Beitrag an. Eine systematische Analyse von 35 großen, themenzugehörigen EU-Forschungsprojekten trägt zunächst zu einer besseren thematischen Orientierung bei. Im nächsten Schritt wird ein aktuell laufendes EU-Projekt vorgestellt, das sich mit der Entwicklung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) für Produktionsarbeiter der Zukunft auseinandersetzt. Drei aus dem Projektkontext gewählte Fallbeispiele illustrieren, wie IKT sich in Industriebetrieben einsetzen lassen, um den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt der Fabrik von morgen zu rücken. Am Beispiel der Dimension des befähigten Mitarbeiters, lässt sich zudem zeigen wie ein Produktionsarbeiter der Fabrik von morgen durch neue IKT insbesondere 1) Autonomie, 2) Kompetenz, 3) Verbundenheit und 4) Abwechslungsreichtum gewinnen kann. So ermöglicht der Beitrag einerseits die Orientierung an konkreten Anwendungsfällen und deren Reflexion sowie andererseits die Entwicklung eines ganzheitlichen Verständnisses für die sich derzeit und in den kommenden Jahren vollziehenden Veränderungen in vielen Industrieunternehmen.AbstractNotwithstanding the important push of the term “Industrie 4.0” towards research funding agencies in German-speaking countries, its fuzziness makes it challenging for researchers and practitioners to identify concrete application scenarios for innovation projects. The paper at hand enters the debate at this point: First of all, a systematic analysis of 35 big related EU research projects contributes to a better thematic orientation. Next, we introduce a current EU project looking into research and development of information and communication technology (ICT) for the production worker of the future. Three case studies from this EU project illustrate what kind of ICT can be implemented by industrial enterprises to put the human worker into the heart of future factories. The dimension of the “empowered worker” serves us to show how workers at factories of the future gain (1) autonomy, (2) competency, (3) connectedness and (4) work variety trough newly introduced ICT. Thus, the paper at hand facilitates the orientation towards concrete use cases and their reflection, and at the same time it facilitates the development of a comprehensive understanding for current and future transformations in many industrial enterprises.
- ZeitschriftenartikelKnowledge-Based Instrumentation and Control for Competitive Industry-Inspired Robotic Domains(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 30, No. 0, 2016) Niemueller, Tim; Zug, Sebastian; Schneider, Sven; Karras, UlrichAutonomy is an increasing trend in manufacturing industries. Several industry-inspired robotic competitions have been established in recent years to provide testbeds of comprehensible size. In this paper, we describe a knowledge-based instrumentation and control framework used in several of these competitions. It is implemented using a rule-based production system and creates the task goals for autonomous mobile robots. It controls the environment’s agency using sensor data from processing stations and instructs proper reactions. The monitoring and collection of various data allows for an effective instrumentation of the competitions for evaluation purposes. The goal is to achieve automated runs with no or as little human intervention as possible which would allow for more and longer lasting runs. It provides a general framework adaptable to suit many scenarios and is an interesting test case for knowledge-based systems in an industry-inspired setting.
- ZeitschriftenartikelModeling IT Availability Risks in Smart Factories(Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 62, No. 4, 2020) Miehle, Daniel; Häckel, Björn; Pfosser, Stefan; Übelhör, JochenIn the course of the ongoing digitalization of production, production environments have become increasingly intertwined with information and communication technology. As a consequence, physical production processes depend more and more on the availability of information networks. Threats such as attacks and errors can compromise the components of information networks. Due to the numerous interconnections, these threats can cause cascading failures and even cause entire smart factories to fail due to propagation effects. The resulting complex dependencies between physical production processes and information network components in smart factories complicate the detection and analysis of threats. Based on generalized stochastic Petri nets, the paper presents an approach that enables the modeling, simulation, and analysis of threats in information networks in the area of connected production environments. Different worst-case threat scenarios regarding their impact on the operational capability of a close-to-reality information network are investigated to demonstrate the feasibility and usability of the approach. Furthermore, expert interviews with an academic Petri net expert and two global leading companies from the automation and packaging industry complement the evaluation from a practical perspective. The results indicate that the developed artifact offers a promising approach to better analyze and understand availability risks, cascading failures, and propagation effects in information networks in connected production environments.
