Nowadays, cyber physical systems support the improvement of efficiency in intralogistics by controlling and manipulating the production and logistic environment autonomously. Due to the complexity of the individual production processes, designing suitable cyber-physical systems based on their existing production environment is a challenge for companies. This paper presents a new methodology on how to design cyber-physical systems conceptually to suit an individual production environment. Compared to existing design approaches, this methodology matches immediately the required functions to existing information and communication technology’s components insisting on the neutral assimilation of requirements. Therefore, the requirement specification asks for needed functions in relating to offered functions of information and communication technology (ICT) components. The paper focusses the use case of implementing a cutting-edge mobile network technology into an existing tracking and tracing process.
Diese DIN SPEC wurde im Zuge des PAS-Verfahrens durch einen Workshop (temporäres Gremium) erarbeitet. Die Erarbeitung und Verabschiedung dieser DIN SPEC erfolgte durch die im Vorwort genannten Verfasser. Die DIN SPEC legt Anforderung fest für ein Schnittstellen- und Kommunikationskonzept zur Verwendung von aggregierten Produktionsinformationen zwischen Sensorsystemen auf der Shopfloor- und Maschinenebene und den übergeordneten betrieblichen Informationssystemen.
Smartification and digital refinement of products to enable the design of smart ones is a pivotal challenge in the manufacturing industry. Companies fail to design smart products due to missing knowledge of digital technologies and their integral part in product development processes. This paper presents a methodology that enables the derivation of digital functions for smart products through selected cases in manufacturing usage. We develop a morphology that consists of digital functions for smartification. In this context, we explained and derived characteristics by a set of examples regarding smart products in the manufacturing industry. Our methodology reduces the time spent initiating a development project with the focus on smartification.
"Digitale Transformation" und "Industrie 4.0" sind nur zwei Beispiele für gängige Termini, die sich mittlerweile in irgendeiner Form in den meisten Unternehmensstrategien wiederfinden. Und doch fehlt es häufig an der nötigen Vorstellungskraft, wie diese Themen im eigenen Unternehmen zukünftig auch umgesetzt werden können.
Die am 15. und 16. November 2017 im Cluster Smart Logistik auf dem RWTH Aachen Campus stattgefundene Aachener Informationsmanagement-Tagung hatte zum Ziel, genau an diesen Stellen Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen. Im Fokus stand dabei die Frage, wie das Informationsmanagement, also die Aufgabe, die Ressource "Information" bestmöglich zu nutzen, bei der Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle, die ein wesentliches Merkmal der digitalen Transformation von Unternehmen darstellen, eingesetzt werden kann.
Die aufkommende Digitalisierung und Vernetzung von Produktionsprozessen erfordern eine verstärkte Verzahnung von produzierenden Unternehmen, Lieferanten und Kunden. Durch den vermehrten Einsatz intelligenter Sensorik und hochauflösender Datenerfassung über mehrere Standorte hinweg eröffnen sich neue Möglichkeiten zur Effizienz- und Effektivitätssteigerung. Die gerade in der Entwicklung befindliche 5G-Kommunikationstechnologie stellt eine Übertragungstechnologie zur Ermöglichung dieser neuen Produktionsszenarien in der Industrie dar. Derzeit mangelt es jedoch an wirtschaftlich validierten Anwendungsfällen für den Mobilfunk. Ziel des Projekts 5Gang ist daher die Konzeption und Erprobung des Einsatzes von 5G in der Industrie.
The digitalization of manufacturing processes is expected to lead to a growing interconnection of production sites, as well as machines, tools and work pieces. In the course of this development, new use-cases arise which have challenging requirements from a communication technology point of view. In this paper we propose a communication network architecture for Industry 4.0 applications, which combines new 5G and non-cellular wireless network technologies with existing (wired) fieldbus technologies on the shop floor. This architecture includes the possibility to use private and public mobile networks together with local networking technologies to achieve a flexible setup that addresses many different industrial use cases. It is embedded into the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture and the RAMI4.0 reference architecture. The paper shows how the advancements introduced around the new 5G mobile technology can fulfill a wide range of industry requirements and thus enable new Industry 4.0 applications. Since 5G standardization is still ongoing, the proposed architecture is in a first step mainly focusing on new advanced features in the core network, but will be developed further later.
The technical development of the 5G mobile communication technology has been successfully completed. Now, vendor companies struggle with the analysis of industrial application and sales strategies as well as the development of business cases for their customers. Since this challenge is faced by many technology providers with innovative technologies in the “trough of disillusionment”, FIR’s information technology management has developed a methodology to bridge the gap, based on the example of 5G. This paper presents a methodology for identifying applications and defining business cases to select the most profitable ones. We also validate the methodology in the 5Gang research project.
This paper addresses the challenge of a systematic requirement-oriented configuration and selection of cyber physical systems (CPS) for SMEs. As the key technologies of realizing the digitalization and interconnection of production processes, manufacturing companies have realized the potential benefits brought by CPS. However, due to the
complexity and fast development of CPS technology, it is difficult for SMEs, which lack expertise and financial resources, to select the appropriate CPS technologies meeting both functional and financial requirements. To overcome the issue, an online matching platform is developed to let SMEs express their needs and assist them onceptualize
the individual CPS. This paper presents the matching methodology of the matching platform, which can not only match technical characteristics but also evaluate economic potentials. Then, it was demonstrated by a tracking and tracing use case in the end-of-line assembly of a small-sized German electric automobile manufacturer.
