The manufacturing industry has to exploit trends like “Industrie 4.0” and digitization not only to design production more efficiently, but also to create and develop new and innovative business models. New business models ensure that even SMEs are able to open up new markets and canvass new customers. This means that in order to stay competitive, SMEs must transform their existing business models.
The creation of new business models require smart products. The required data base for new business models cannot be provided by SMEs alone, whereas smart products are able to provide a foundation, given the creation of smart data and smart services they enable. These services then expand functions and functionality of smart products and define new business models.
However, the development of smart products by small and medium-sized enterprises is still lined with obstacles. Regarding the product development process the inclusion of smart products means that new and SME-unknown domains diffuse during the process. Although there are many models regarding this process there appears to be a substantial lack of taking into account the competencies enabled by the implementation of digital technologies. Hence, several SME-supporting approaches fail to address the two major challenges these enterprises are faced with. This paper generally describes valid objectives containing relevant stakeholders and their allocation to the phases of the product life cycle.
Within each objective the potential benefit for customers and producers is analyzed. The model given in this paper helps SMEs in defining the initiation of a product development project more precisely and hence also eases project scoping and targeting for the smartification of an already existing product.
Im Rahmen der vernetzten Digitalisierung stehen insbesondere kleine und mittlere IT-Organisationen und IT-Dienstleister vor der großen Herausforderung, in einem immer dynamischer werdenden Umfeld Leistungen in hoher Qualität zu liefern. Die Verknüpfung dieser Leistungen mit den zu unterstützenden Geschäftsprozessen und Geschäftsmodellen gestaltet sich schwierig und erfordert eine service- und prozessorientierte Denkweise.
Zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen und der Umsetzung des "service- und prozessorientierten Denkens" bietet das IT-Service-Management (ITSM) Methoden und Maßnahmen zur kundenorientierten, prozessgesteuerten und transparenten Erbringung von IT-Services. Trotz bestehender ITSM-spezifischer Referenzmodelle und Regelwerke werden die beschriebenen Methoden von kleinen und mittleren IT-Organisationen und IT-Dienstleistern kaum genutzt. Der Grund hierfür liegt unter anderem in der hohen Komplexität der Regelwerke und dem damit verbundenen großen Implementierungsaufwand. Es fehlt ein Vorgehen, das die Fähigkeiten und Möglichkeiten von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) berücksichtigt, um IT-Prozesse eigenständig hinsichtlich der Serviceorientierung zu bewerten und zu optimieren.
Das Ergebnis des Forschungsvorhabens "GradeIT" ist eine Vorgehensweise, die KMU dabei unterstützt, relevante IT-Service-Prozesse für sich selbst zu identifizieren, um diese dann eigenständig zu bewerten und auf Basis transparent dargestellter Wirkungszusammenhänge zu spezifischen Einflussfaktoren erfolgversprechende Handlungsempfehlungen auszusprechen.
The number of cyber-attacks on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is constantly increasing. SMEs do not recognize the attacks until the damage has occurred. Only then, they fight with measures to increase IT-security and IT-safety. Many studies come to the point that this refers to a lack of budget, expertise and awareness of the need for IT-security. There are many compendia with recommendations for action, but they are too comprehensive and unspecific to the individual needs of SMEs. In this paper, we present the results of a research activity on the gaps that address the challenges faced by SMEs. In addition, we develop a concept for a serious gaming approach that includes an economic perspective on IT-security measures and shows how SMEs can derive their own IT-seurity target state
Der High-Resolution-Supply-Chain-Management-Ansatz erlaubt es Unternehmen, in Echtzeit auf dynamische Einflüsse des Marktes reagieren zu können.
Echtzeitfähige Planungs- und Regelungsprozesse können den Planungsaufwand reduzieren und gleichzeitig mit den zur Verfügung stehenden Echtzeitinformationen die Planungsqualität verbessern.
Planungsprozesse auf Basis von Echtzeitinformationen setzen voraus, dass ein konsistenter Informationsaustausch zwischen den unterschiedlichen Planungsebenen besteht sowie ein hoher Autonomiegrad innerhalb der einzelnen Planungsinstanzen.
Holistic PLM- Model
(2010)
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a widely discussed topic concerning the increase of efficiency of product development in terms of time to market as well as customizing products to the different needs of customers worldwide adequately. Historically PLM focuses the early phases of the product’s lifecycle, namely the product development phase. Therein the roots of PLM are based in supporting the information logistics of product data: Consistent data sets should be available to all stakeholders in the different departments at all times. Due to the increasing product complexity PLM has to be extended in terms of the temporal dimension (not limited to product development phase) and systemic dimension (not limited to the information logistic aspect). In this paper the authors derive a holistic framework for Product Lifecycle Management by analysing existing integrated management approaches. The framework consists of four dimensions: PLM strategy, PLM process, Product structure and PLM IT-Architecture. The sustainability and benefits of the framework is demonstrated by applying the framework to the communication service provider industry (CSP).
In the age of digitalization, manufacturing companies are under increased pressure to change due to product complexity, growing customer requirements and digital business models. The increasing digitization of processes and products is opening up numerous opportunities for mechanical engineering companies to exploit the resulting potential for value creation. Subscription business is a new form of business model in the mechanical engineering industry, which aims to continuously increase customer benefit to align the interests of both companies and customers. Characterized by a permanent data exchange, databased learning about customer behavior, and the transfer into continuous innovations to increase customer value, subscription business helps to make Industry 4.0 profitable. The fact that machines and plants are connected to the internet and exchange large amounts of data results in critical information security risks. In addition, the loss of knowledge and control, data misuse and espionage, as well as the manipulation of transaction or production data in the context of subscription transactions are particularly high risks. Complementary to direct and obvious consequences such as loss of production, the attacks are increasingly shifting to non-transparent and creeping impairments of production or product quality, which are only apparent at a late stage, or the influencing of payment flows. A transparent presentation of possible risks and their scope, as well as their interrelationships, does not exist. This paper shows a research approach in which the structure of subscription models and their different manifestations based on their risks and vulnerabilities are characterized. This allows suitable cyber security measures to be taken at an early stage. From this basis, companies can secure existing or planned subscription business models and thus strengthen the trust of business partners and customers.
Manufacturing companies face the challenge of managing vast amounts of unstructured data generated by various sources such as social media, customer feedback, product reviews, and supplier data. Text-mining technology, a branch of data mining and natural language processing, provides a solution to extract valuable insights from unstructured data, enabling manufacturing companies to make informed decisions and improve their processes. Despite the potential benefits of text mining technology, many manufacturing companies struggle to implement use cases due to various reasons. Therefore, the project VoBAKI (IGF-Project No.: 22009 N) aims to enable manufacturing companies to identify and implement text mining use cases in their processes and decision-making processes. The paper presents an analysis of text mining use cases in manufacturing companies using Mayring's content analysis and case study research. The study aims to explore how text mining technology can be effectively used in improving production processes and decision-making in manufacturing companies.
In order to introduce load management in the manufacturing industry, some obstacles need to be pointed out. This paper presents a feasible approach on how to implement load management measures in companies. To do so, load management and energy management are explained and distinguished in a first step. Subsequently, the implementation method is introduced. Therefore, by using this paper, companies will be enabled to use load management measure and reduce their energy costs significantly.
Digitale Technologien sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Wertschöpfungskette in der industriellen Praxis geworden. Die Digitalisierung hat die Produktion und den modernen Arbeitsplatz in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten auf eine Art beeinflusst, die mit keiner anderen technischen Entwicklung vergleichbar ist, und die nun der vierten industriellen Revolution den Weg ebnet.
Die Essenz von Industrie 4.0 ist die Vernetzung von Produktionssystemen mithilfe von IT und dem Internet der Dinge, um prognosefähig zu sein und die Produktion effizienter und flexibler zu gestalten. Wesentliche Befähiger dieser Vision sind Daten aus Prozessen, Anlagen und Ressourcen, aus denen für das Unternehmen entscheidungskritische Informationen gewonnen werden. Hieraus lassen sich Erkenntnisse ableiten, die bisher verborgene Wirkungszusammenhänge zutage fördern.
Prognosemodelle errechnen auf der Basis dieser Erkenntnisse mögliche Zukunftsszenarien und belegen sie mit Wahrscheinlichkeitswerten bezüglich ihres Eintritts. Durch die Vernetzung der Informationen unterschiedlicher Aufgaben, Funktionen und Domänen lassen sich Handlungsempfehlungen fundieren, wobei eine unüberschaubare Anzahl relevanter Parameter berücksichtigt wird. Der Produktion wird ähnlich dem Rennsport eine Ideallinie aufgezeigt, an der sie sich orientieren kann, um in kürzester Zeit optimierte Ergebnisse zu erzielen.
The main challenge in all application areas of EV usage still is the energy storage within, as well as the energy transmission into an EV. However, this storage and transmission of energy also allows for synergies with a smart grid, if the information is adequately exchanged between roles in the energy and mobility sector. Since the energy transmission is a so called “fixed and intersection point” of E-Mobility, interoperability is required not only on an electrical (e.g. plugs), but also on an informational level. Standardization efforts are currently underway (e.g. IEC 15118), yet a comprehensive, consolidating view on the information system around energy transmission is missing. Therefore, this paper suggests a generic information system architecture for e-mobility (EM-ISA) derived from the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM). EM-ISA shall be a base for companies to develop innovative services for their particular, ICT-enabled E-Mobility application area while at the same time stay at important points informational interoperable at the fixed and intersection point of energy transmission.
