Wachsende Informationssysteme (IS) gehen oft einher mit einer wachsenden IT-Komplexität, weil sich heterogene IT-Landschaften über Jahre hinweg zu einem Flickenteppich entwickeln. Diese Entwicklung bringt steigende IT-Kosten und Abhängigkeiten mit sich, die die Wartung und Entwicklung der IT-Landschaften behindern. Der Artikel beleuchtet die aktuelle Literatur über Methoden zum Management von IT-Komplexität mit der Methodik eines Literaturreviews. Da die Definitionen von IT-Komplexität in der Literatur weit auseinandergehen, wird eine Herleitung und eine Definition aufgestellt. Außerdem werden die Ergebnisse des Literatur-Suchprozesses vorgestellt. Danach folgt eine Diskussion und Synthese der Literatur sowie ein Ausblick auf weitere Forschungsfelder.
Bedingt durch den Ausbau der dezentralen Energieversorgung steigen die Redispatch-Maßnahmen durch die Übertragungsnetzbetreiber zur Netzstabilisierung. Je nach Szenario werden in 2030 allerdings 62 - 82 % der Bruttostromnachfrage direkt in das Verteilnetz eingespeist, sodass die Verteilnetzbetreiber die Netzbilanz bereits auf NS- und MS-Ebene ausgleichen müssen. Eine Lösungskomponente dazu ist das Industrial Smart Grid; dazu sind tiefere Einblicke in die Produktionsplanung von Industrieunternehmen nötig, um das Netz proaktiv zu regeln. Die Grundlage für diese nötige Transparenz wird unternehmensintern durch die Etablierung von Energiemanagement und dazu nötigen Energieinformationssystemen geschaffen. Um eine zielgerichtete Systemauswahl für produzierende Unternehmen zu ermöglichen, ist ein grundlegender Funktionskatalog eines Energieinformationssystems zu erstellen. Dieses Paper beschreibt die Erstellung eines solchen Funktionskatalogs in Form eines übersichtlichen Funktionsbaums und einer exemplarischen Funktionsdarstellung in einem Use-Case-Diagramm.
Im Strommarkt 2.0 wird ein Paradigmenwechsel von einer verbrauchsorientierten Erzeugung zu einem erzeugungsorientierten Verbrauch durchlaufen. Dies erfordert in Zukunft ein gesteigertes Angebot von Flexibilität. Die Idee und die für das Energiesystem dienlichen Potentiale eines Flexibilitätsmarktes für die Industrie sind bekannt, dennoch werden diese Möglichkeiten zurzeit nur eingeschränkt genutzt. Es stellt sich somit die Frage, durch welche Anreize und Dienstleistungen es gelingen kann, Unternehmen zur Bereitstellung von Flexibilität zu motivieren. Hierfür werden im vorliegenden Paper die bestehenden Energiedienstleistungen und neue Flexibilitätsdienstleistungen strukturiert beschrieben und Potenziale herausgestellt.
Failure management in the production area has been intensely analyzed in the research community. Although several efficient methods have been developed and partially successfully implemented, producing companies still face a lot of challenges. The resulting main question is how manufacturers can be assisted by a sustainable approach enabling them to proactively detect and prevent failures before they occur. A high-resolution production system based on analyzed real-time data enables manufacturers to find an answer to the main question. In this context, Big Data technologies have gained importance since the critical success factor is not only to collect real-time data in the production but also to structure the data. Therefore, we present in this paper the implementation of Big Data technologies in the production area using the example of an actual research project. After the literature review, we describe a Big Data based approach to prevent failures in the production area. This approach mainly includes a real-time capable platform including complex event processing algorithms to define appropriate improvement measures.
Thanks to the challenges of the imminent energy turnaround, the power market faces a revolution regarding the energy distribution. In future, energy will not only be distributed from a limited number of large, centralized power plants but also from small, decentralized power generators, e.g. households. This also affects manufacturing companies, which are confronted with developing an energy management strategy. As those companies usually have not set high priorities on their energy management, there is a lack of a structured procedure to build an energy management strategy. Consequently, this creates the need for supporting methods to develop and implement an energy management strategy. This paper tackles the first step in the development of an energy management strategy. For this purpose, a target map is developed and possible use cases are systematized. The next steps of the implementation are presented using the example of load management.
Outsourcing of logistics operations (especially transportation, distribution & warehousing) is one of the most viable options exercised by the customers to excel in their logistic operations. Despite the growing outsourcing of logistics services to 3PL providers, both the service providers & their customers are facing tremendous problems in synchronizing the business processes & analyzing the performance using common key performance indicators. There is a huge demand for an integrated approach to help 3PL and their customers better synchronize their business processes and have common goals & perspectives. Such integrated approaches often take shape of a process oriented reference model covering many diverse aspects related to the operations & controlling of any business. In this paper, an integrated reference model to support 3PL service operations is presented. The Logistics Reference Model (LRM) developed & validated in some 3PL service companies encompasses standard business processes, performance measurement system and best practices.
Electricity generated by wind turbines (WT) is a mainstay of the transition to renewable energy. In order to economically utilize WT is, operating and maintenance costs, which account for 25% of total electricity generation costs in onshore WT’s, are a focus of cost reduction activities. Implementing a data-driven prescriptive maintenance approach is one way to achieve this. So far, various approaches for prescriptive maintenance for onshore WT’s have been suggested.
However, little research has addressed the practical implementation considering sociotechnical aspects. The aim of this paper is therefore to identify success factors for the successful implementation of such a maintenance strategy with clear and holistic guidance on how existing knowledge on prescriptive maintenance from science can be transferred to business practice. These recommendations are developed through case study research and classified in the four structural areas of Acatech’s Industry 4.0 Maturity Index: Resources, Information Systems, Organizational Structure and Culture.
Personal user data is collected and processed at large scale by a handful of big providers of Internet services. This is detrimental to users, who often do not understand the privacy implications of this data collection, as well as to small parties interested in gaining insights from this data pool, e.g., research groups or small and middle-sized enterprises. To remedy this situation, we propose a transparent and user-controlled data market in which users can directly and consensually share their personal data with interested parties for monetary compensation. We define a simple model for such an ecosystem and identify pressing challenges arising within this model with respect to the user and data processor demands, legal obligations, and technological limits. We propose myneData as a conceptual architecture for a trusted online platform to overcome these challenges. Our work provides an initial investigation of the resulting myneData ecosystem as a foundation to subsequently realize our envisioned data market via the myneData platform.
The Aim of this article is to provide a framework which enhances the existing scope of manufacturing asset management by specifically addressing industrial services provided by external suppliers as an integral part of today’s manufacturing structures. Existing research shows that sourcing industrial services from specialized service organizations establishes complex and unique interdependencies and links total production efficiency to the performance of the external service suppliers. Within the context of the EU-Project InCoCo-S - “Innovation, Coordination and Collaboration in Service Driven Manufacturing Supply Chains” a standard business reference model with key focus on operation and integration of business related services (BRS) in the supply chain has been developed. Based on the service type retrofit this paper aims on the one hand to present the modules of the reference model and on the other hand to explain how the model can be used to enhance the retrofit business.
