In diesem Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse aus einer Studie in der Papierindustrie vorgestellt. Dabei zeigt sich eine deutliche Korrelation zwischen guten Ergebnissen in der Effektivität und Effizienz des Zuverlässigkeitsmanagements und dem Unternehmenserfolg. Der Unternehmenserfolg – im Sinne einer hohen Umsatzrendite – kann zwar nicht allein auf einen entscheidenden Einflussfaktor zurückgeführt werden, da der Umsatz durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren bestimmt wird. Die durchgeführten Analysen und Interviews innerhalb der Studie deuten allerdings darauf hin, dass in der Tat das operative Anlagenmanagement einen maßgeblichen Erfolgsfaktor darstellt, sich „Reliability“ in der Prozessindustrie folglich auszahlt. Überdies konnte gezeigt werden, wie sich Methoden und Verhaltensweisen von Instandhaltung und Produktion auf die Zuverlässigkeit von Anlagen und die Effizienz deren Bewirtschaftung auswirken.
In this paper, an approach towards energy management 4.0 will be presented. Energy management 4.0 is understood as an encompassing energy data based concept for manufacturing companies acting in an flexible energy grid of the future with the final goal of autonomous self-optimization Controlling, supervising and scheduling production and logistic steps based on a reliable communication infrastructure and real time data in accordance to achieve a maximum of profitability with regard to human factor is executed.
Guided by a four maturity levels of the "acatech Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index" developed by the German National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) different use cases are presented according to the steps of visibility, transparency, prognostic capacity and self-optimization. The basic idea of energy management 4.0 is described and an outlook of further steps that are needed to be evaluated for an implementation are presented.
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.
Industrial Service Providers (ISP) are exposed to constantly raising competitive pressures regarding both cost and performance aspects. The massive challenges caused by the current worldwide financial and economic crisis even intensified the need for process optimizations aimed at increasing the productivity of service production. To reach this goal the evaluation and elimination of waste in their production processes becomes a crucial ability for ISPs. This paper proposes a new approach for increasing productivity in service production processes using a generic measurement model for the detection and evaluation of waste. The model is based on established lean management principles, but tailored to the specifics of ISPs by adopting a customers’ perspective to track down and eliminate waste. The evaluation builds on an in-depth-analysis of particular types of waste in the industrial service production processes. Viewed from the customers’ perspective and taking into account the specific characteristics of services (e.g. intangibility, heterogeneity, inseparability, and perishability) and service production (e.g. volatile demand, a tendency to over-capacity, and limits to planning) the approach employs a service blueprint reference model to then determine the different types of waste in the various parts of the service production process.
As industrial service portfolios grow, many companies overlook the implications of their business operations: rising complexity and resulting complexity costs. One reason are nonexistent tools that help service managers to decide in planning phases with an adequate effort about the implications that variety and complexity decisions have on the complexity costs of their portfolio. This paper depicts the challenges service companies have to face in this context and presents a concept of a heuristic approach to evaluate the complexity costs for industrial services. The concept is being developed in strong cooperation with industrial partners.
Volatile electricity prices caused by an increase of renewable energy sources push producing companies towards taking in an active role in balancing the electricity grid. Possible actions at the customer side to actively adapt to volatile energy prices are called demand response actions. In production logistics such actions can be the modification of production schedules motivated by possible economic benefits. So far, the focus in scheduling problems has been the optimization in the dimensions of quality, time and costs. This paper presents the results of a simulation study on the economic benefits of demand response actions for a generic production system.
Feasibility Analysis of Entity Recognition as a Means to Create an Autonomous Technology Radar
(2021)
Mit den neuesten Technologietrends auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben, ist für Fertigungsunternehmen eine entscheidende Aufgabe, um auf einem global wettbewerbsfähigen Markt erfolgreich zu bleiben. Die Erstellung eines Technologieradars ist ein etablierter, jedoch meist manueller Prozess zur Visualisierung der neuesten Technologietrends.
Der Herausforderung, Technologien zu identifizieren und zu visualisieren, widmet sich das Projekt TechRad, das maschinelles Lernen einsetzt, um ein autonomes Technologie-Scouting-Radar zu realisieren. Eine der Kernfunktionen ist die Identifizierung von Technologien in Textdokumenten. Dies wird durch natürliche Sprachverarbeitung (NLP) realisiert.
Dieser Beitrag fasst die Herausforderungen und möglichen Lösungen für den Einsatz von Entity Recognition zur Identifikation relevanter Technologien in Textdokumenten zusammen. Die Autoren stellen eine frühe Phase der Implementierung des Entity Recognition Modells vor. Dies beinhaltet die Auswahl von Transfer Learning als geeignete Methode, die Erstellung eines Datensatzes, der aus verschiedenen Datenquellen besteht, sowie den angewandten Modell-Trainings-Prozess. Abschließend wird die Leistungsfähigkeit der gewählten Methode in einer Reihe von Tests überprüft und bewertet.
This paper presents a simulation approach for service production processes on the basis of which an optimal operating point for service systems can be identified. The approach specifically takes into account the characteristics of human behavior. The simulation is based on a system theory approach to the service delivery process. A specific use case of the simulation approach is presented in detail to illustrate how characteristic curves are deduced and an optimal operating point is obtained.
Numerous traditional, agile and hybrid development approaches have been proposed for the development of CPS. As the choice of development process is crucial to the success of development projects, it has become a major challenge to identify the best-suited process. This paper introduces a methodology for identifying the best-suited CPS development process, based on the individual boundary conditions for a certain development project within a company. The authors used a set of eight indicators to assess a CPS-development project. The results of the assessment were matched with CPS-development approaches. Based on the matching results a best-suited development process was selected. The application is shown for a use case in the German manufacturing industry. The developed method aims to reduce the risk of project failure due to the wrong choice of development process.
Digital technologies such as 5G, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence (AI) are currently being used in various ways by manufacturing companies. As the fourth industrial revolution progresses, it has become apparent that reckless use and inadequate regulation of these technologies have a detrimental effect on the environment in which they are utilized. Therefore, regulation of digital technologies is imperative today to ensure more responsible and sustainable use. While governments usually establish regulations, progress is not keeping pace with the demands and hazards of employing digital technologies. The European AI law serves as an example of the considerable distance yet to be covered before binding guidelines are established. Consequently, companies must take proactive measures today to ensure that they use digital technologies responsibly in their environments. In this context, identifying which digital technologies are pertinent to manufacturing companies in terms of regulation is crucial. Furthermore, a comprehensive approach is required to design compliance holistically for digital technologies and to systematically derive the corresponding guidelines. This paper introduces a set of models that not only determine the importance of
compliance in the application of different technologies but also present a framework for methodically designing compliance. Furthermore, the paper contributes to the development of an AI platform in the German research project PAIRS by investigating the compliance relevance of applications such as artificial intelligence.
