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.
In diesem Buch wird die Technologieauswahl zur Gestaltung eines cyber-physischen Systems (CPS) für die Auftragsverfolgung bei produzierenden Unternehmen erläutert. Dazu werden funktionale Anforderungen an das CPS aufgeführt, relevante Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien gescoutet und den Anforderungen an das CPS gegenübergestellt. Mithilfe des anschließenden Gestaltungsleitfadens kann effizient ein System zur Umsetzung des „digitalen Schattens“ in der Produktion spezifiziert werden.
This paper addresses the challenge of modelling individual cyber-physical systems (CPS) for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing industries. CPS are key technology building blocks for the implementation of Industrie 4.0. Especially for SMEs the increase of production efficiency and reduction of manufacturing costs through CPS offer potential to maintain their competitiveness and innovation capacity. Although SMEs perceive the potential of CPS, they often lack financial and human resources to acquire the necessary CPS-competencies as well as an overview of all the currently available technological solutions. To overcome this issue a matching platform will offer SMEs support in finding suitable CPS-components by letting them express their functional and technical requirements. The matching logic is based on a set of morphologies that encompasses the functional and requirement spectrum of CPS-components. The matching algorithm analyses the input for congruence of requirements and available technologies and suggests suitable technology combinations. This paper describes the methodology of the matching platform, and introduces the research work to define and to develop the technology morphologies. The presented results facilitate the selection and configuration of CPS for SMEs.
Projekt 5Gang: 5G "geTRIZt"
(2019)
Inzwischen sind die technischen Entwicklungen für den neuen Mobilfunkstandard 5G abgeschlossen und es stellt sich zunehmend die Frage: Was bringt 5G wirklich für die Industrie und welche Potenziale können tatsächlich gehoben werden? Diesen Fragen geht man am FIR im Forschungsprojekt '5Gang' auf den Grund und analysiert Usecases, die verdeutlichen, wie 5G die Vernetzung der Wirtschaft unterstützt. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist hierbei die Entwicklung von Showcases, also Demonstratoren, die als Leuchtturmprojekte die vorhergesagten Potenziale wie die Realisierung von ultrakritischen Kommunikationswegen, die Einhaltung geringster Latenzen oder die einwandfreie Übertragung großer Datenmengen wirtschaftlich unter Beweis stellen.Zur Entwicklung dieser Demonstratoren greift das Expertenteam im Forschungsprojekt auf die Methodik des „erfinderischen Problemlösens“ zurück (TRIZ).
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.

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.
