In der Demonstrationsfabrik werden 3 exemplarische 5G-Anwendungsfälle entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette eines produzierenden Unternehmens vorgestellt. Das Future Warehouse ermöglicht neben der Datenerfassung und -verfolgung in Echtzeit auch die einfache Nachrüstung von Technologie-Upgrades. 5G-Intralogistik zeichnet sich durch autonome Antriebssysteme aus, die durch niedrige Latenzen und Netzwerk-Slicing in Echtzeit steuerbar und zuverlässig sind. Die 5G-Montage umfasst die vollständige drahtlose Vernetzung von Montagelinien und ermöglicht eine kontinuierliche und kurzzyklische Optimierung des Montageprozesses.
The shift towards a decentralized electricity supply based on renewable energy sources requires constant communication between the entities in the electric grid. To satisfy this communication need, energy market players have to select suitable communication technologies for their use cases. Conventionally, these decisions are made on a case-by-case, non-systematic basis. This paper proposes a technology configurator, which is a systematic, solution neutral approach for energy market players to select the most suitable communication technology for their communication use case. The developed methodology consists of eight steps, in an interaction between a user and a system, leading to a prioritized list of technology recommendations for the given use case. In conclusion, the proposed approach presents energy market players with a systematic way to select the best suitable communication technology to connect their system to the smart grid.
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 Paper wird eine Architektur für Kommunikationsnetze für industrielle Anwendungen vorgestellt, die neue 5G-Technologien mit vorhandener Kommunikationstechnik auf der Feldbusebene kombiniert. Diese Architektur verbindet private und öffentliche Mobilfunknetze mit lokalen Funktechnologien, um einen flexiblen Aufbau zu ermöglichen, der in der Lage ist, viele industrielle Anwendungsfälle zu unterstützen. Es wird gezeigt, wie die Errungenschaften, die mit der neuen 5G-Technologie eingeführt werden, einen großen Bereich der industriellen Anforderungen erfüllen können. Weiterhin werden relevante Anwendungsfälle beschrieben und eine Gesamtsystemarchitektur vorgeschlagen, welche nicht nur die technischen, sondern auch die funktionalen Anforderungen, welche von den spezifischen Anwendungen heutiger und zukünftiger Herstellungsprozesse gestellt werden, erfüllen kann.
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.
Networked digitalisation as an enabler for smart products and data-based business models presents companies with numerous and diverse challenges on their way through the digital transformation. Various reference architecture models have been developed in recent years to support these companies. A detailed analysis of these and in particular their use by companies quickly showed that currently existing reference models have major weaknesses in their practical suitability. With the Aachen Digital Architecture Management (ADAM), a framework was developed that specifically addresses the weaknesses of existing reference architectures and specifically takes up their strengths. As a holistic model, specially developed for use by companies, ADAM structures the digital transformation of companies in the areas of digital infrastructure and business development starting from customer requirements. Systematically, companies are enabled to drive the design of the digital architecture, taking into account design fields. The description of the design fields offers a detailed insight into the essential tasks on the way to a digitally networked company. The model is not only a structuring aid, but also contains a construction kit with the design fields to configure the procedure in the digital transformation. The procedure differentiates between the development of the digitalisation strategy and the implementation of the digital architecture. Three different case studies also show how ADAM is used in industry, what structuring support it can provide and how the digital transformation can be configured. The breadth and depth of ADAM enable companies to take the path of digital transformation systematically and in a structured manner, without ignoring the value-creating components of digitalisation. This qualifies ADAM as a sustainability-oriented framework, as it places the economic scaling, needs-based adaptation and future-oriented robustness of solution modules in the focus of digital transformation.
