Die Dezentralität ist einer der bedeutsamsten Aspekte der Blockchain-Technologie. Dennoch gibt es große Unterschiede in der Dezentralität verschiedener Blockchain-Applikationen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, eine strukturelle und funktionelle Durchdringung des Aspekts der Dezentralität zu erreichen und Eigenschaften zu finden, die es ermöglichen verschiedene Blockchain-Applikationen in ihrer Dezentralität zu differenzieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt dar, dass die Datenverteilung und die Zugangsberechtigungen (Lese- und Schreibzugang) entscheidende Eigenschaften für die Dezentralität der Blockchain Applikationen sind. Diese Eigenschaften werden mithilfe eine morphologische Analyse untersucht und es wird ein detaillierter Überblick über die verschiedenen Ausprägungen der genannten Eigenschaften und der Auswirkungen auf die Dezentralität gegeben.
In order to achieve a holistic cost management approach, the maintenance and service costs should already be assessed during the development of machines and equipment. The required information in the company, like PLM, process and test data, are commonly not available or vague, especially in early development phases. This paper introduces a feasible method for an early assessment of maintenance and service costs during product development. In doing so, appropriate cost assessment methods are selected, based on the availability and quality of the existing information in the individual development phases. The evaluations of these methods are aggregated in a software tool, so that the respective cost information is displayed with a maximum, minimum and most probable value. The developed software tool was validated in cooperation with a new electric vehicle manufacturer.
Management of information and the IT systems it is stored in becomes a crucial capability for the industry. However, companies are struggling with the management of the various requirements and frequent changes of technology. Thus, IT complexity has become a major challenge for companies. At the same time, especially manufacturing companies are striving to implement Industrie 4.0 concepts. Many of these even have developed an Industrie 4.0 roadmap including various projects to change the company. Companies can develop such roadmaps by applying the Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index that gives a broad view on necessary capabilities for Industrie 4.0.
In our research, we analyzed data sets from over 10 manufacturing companies that have performed an Industrie 4.0 maturity assessment. Our hypothesis was that IT complexity challenges are hindering the implementation of Industrie 4.0 roadmaps significantly. We could prove this hypothesis at least for the companies analyzed and give insights on the specific challenges. Based on our analysis, we conclude our article by giving concrete recommendations on how to tackle IT complexity.
Digital networking via the company and as well, the overall supply chain, can only succeed if digital planning reflects reality as accurately as possible and if production control can react to deviations in real time. In essence, this leads to a development of process control towards process regulation. While longterm production and resource planning is usually mapped by Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, detailed planning, including short-term deviations and real-time data at the production level, is increasingly supported by Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) at the production control level. However, in order to bring the underlying system concepts into line with Industry 4.0 efforts in a standardized manner, mutual functional integration within the framework of interoperable production planning and control is of crucial importance. For this purpose, studies were carried out in particular into cause-effect relationships. Thus, the overarching research objective is a valid design model to increase the controllability of production planning and control systems (PPC) in the context of Industry 4.0.
Smartification and digital refinement of products to enable the design of smart ones is a pivotal challenge in the manufacturing industry. Companies fail to design smart products due to missing knowledge of digital technologies and their integral part in product development processes. This paper presents a methodology that enables the derivation of digital functions for smart products through selected cases in manufacturing usage. We develop a morphology that consists of digital functions for smartification. In this context, we explained and derived characteristics by a set of examples regarding smart products in the manufacturing industry. Our methodology reduces the time spent initiating a development project with the focus on smartification.
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.
Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens war die Erhöhung der Effizienz und Effektivität von Suchanfragen in ERP-Systemen. Dabei sollte der Aufwand für den Nutzer reduziert und die Qualität der Ergebnisse verbessert werden. Die Erreichung der Ziele wurde durch die Entwicklung einer selbstlernenden, kontextbasierten Suchmaschine für ERP-Systeme realisiert. Mit der Berücksichtigung des Kontexts einer Suchanfrage, des Benutzerverhaltens und einer Ergebnisbewertung durch den Anwender wurde die Ergebnisqualität von Suchanfragen kontinuierlich gesteigert. Durch die Entwicklung eines Demonstrators wurde der Nutzen des Konzepts nachgewiesen, indem dieser in verschiedenen Szenarien erprobt und anhand einer Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtung bewertet wurde.
Unvorhergesehene Störungen gefährden in vielen Fällen den Kundenliefertermin. Die Produktionssteuerung hat die Aufgabe, effektiv und effizient auf diese kurzfristigen Störungen zu reagieren. Der Entscheidungsprozess beruht jedoch häufig auf einer qualitativen Analyse einer komplexen Situation anhand subjektiver Einschätzungen durch den Produktionsplaner. Zur Verbesserung der Entscheidungsfindung stellt dieser Beitrag eine App vor, die auf Basis von Echtzeitdaten und einer Simulation des Produktionssystems eine quantitative Entscheidungsfindung ermöglicht.
