Factory automation and production are currently
undergoing massive changes, and 5G is considered being a key
enabler. In this paper, we state uses cases for using 5G in the
factory of the future, which are motivated by actual needs of the
industry partners of the “5Gang” consortium. Based on these use
cases and the ones by 3GPP, a 5G system architecture for the
factory of the future is proposed. It is set in relation to existing
architectural frameworks.
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.
Chatbot statt Berater?
(2018)
Im Silicon Valley wird deutlich, dass sich etablierte Technologien und Berufsbilder durch Kollaborationsplattformen ersetzen lassen. Können so selbst Beratungen für Industrie-4.0-Systeme effizienter und effektiver ausfallen? Wie solche Plattformlösungen aussehen können, zeigt der CPS-Matchmaker, der gerade in Aachen entwickelt wird.
Nowadays, the market for information and communication technologies used for IOT-applications grows daily. Since companies need technologies to transform their business processes corresponding to the digital revolution, they need to know which technologies are available, and fit the best for their use case. Their inertial issue is the lacking overview of technologies suitable to connect their production or logistics. Hence, this paper presents a methodology to select technologies (and combinations) based on their functions. It differentiates between information and communication technologies, digital technologies and connecting technologies by the physical function and its role in a cyber-physical system. Depending on the use case, the applicability of every technology varies. Due to that reason, the paper illustrates a ranked qualification of the technologies for typical use cases, focussing tracking and tracing issues in the intralogistics of producing companies. The evaluation is performed upon a literature research, a market study to identify suitable technologies, and various expert interviews to assess the applicability of the technologies.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Im Zuge der Vernetzung von Industrie und Wirtschaft werden Technologien wie 5G, die nächste kommende Mobilfunkgeneration, als Enabler des Internets der Dinge genannt. Doch welche Anwendungen durch 5G genau realisierbar werden und warum die Entwicklung neuer Netztechnologien erforderlich wird, bleibt häufig unklar. Ebenso mangelt es an der Entwicklung von Standards, damit die neue Technologie schnellstmöglich nach ihrer offiziellen Einführung von bestehenden Systemen genutzt werden kann. Einzig die Aussage, dass neue Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien wie 5G unseren Informationsaustausch, insbesondere in der Produktion, revolutionieren wird, bleibt beständig.
