Elektrische Fahrzeuge im Flottenverbund eröffnen durch die Einbindung in das öffentliche Stromnetz große Wertschöpfungspotentiale durch das Erbringen von Energiedienstleistungen. Dieser radikale Wandel zwingt Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) zur Untersuchung neuer Geschäftsfelder und der Schaffung ganzheitlicher Mobilitätskonzepte. Um diesen disruptiven Veränderungen gerecht zu werden, liegt der Fokus der vorliegenden Untersuchung auf der Entwicklung einer allgemeingültigen Bewertungssystematik für Elemente eines erweiterten Dienstleistungsportfolios für konkrete Anwendungsfälle von EV (Electric Vehicle)-Flottenbetreibern.
Smart Service Prototyping
(2021)
This chapter is dedicated to prototyping, one of the steps of the Smart Service Engineering Cycle. It includes three phases: realizing core functionalities, developing core functionalities, and testing functionalities with customers. In order to realize prototypes successfully, methodical aspects of rapid IoT prototyping are used.
First of all, this chapter explains the motivation behind rapid prototyping and provides an introduction to the approach. The concept of rapid IoT prototyping is based on the idea of developing short-cycle solution variants on the basis of benefit hypotheses or benefit promises and user stories focusing on them. The aim is to achieve data acquisition, aggregation, linkage, processing, and finally visualization by developing it in a vertically integrated manner. Once this is accomplished, the prototype can be evaluated with customers, which also makes it possible to put the benefit hypotheses to the test. Finally, the collected customer feedback can be incorporated more quickly into the development process of new prototype versions, leading to a continuous improvement of the user experience as well as a constant focus on prioritizing the user. Another component of rapid IoT prototyping is working and thinking in terms of minimum viable products (MVP), i.e., solutions that do not meet all of the defined requirements in the first iteration, but are nevertheless already functional.

Digitalization and Industry 4.0 continue to shape our industrial environment and collaboration. For many enterprises, a key challenge in moving forward in this matter is the integration of their shop-floor systems (hard- and software) with their office-floor systems to harvest the full potential of industry 4.0.
A multitude of different technologies and respective use-cases available on the market leave many companies startled. This paper presents a set of use-cases for IT-OT-Integration to bring transparency into a company’s digital transformation.
Additionally, a technical requirements profile for integrating IT- and OT-Systems based on the use cases is presented. Both, use-cases and their requirements, guide companies in selecting the digitalization measures that fit their current situation and help in identifying technical challenges that need to be addressed in the transformation process.
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.
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 this end, load management and energy management are explained and distinguished in a first step. Subsequently, the implementation method is introduced. Therefore, by means of this paper, companies will be enabled to use load management measures and significantly reduce their energy costs. In the second part of the paper, the introduced approach will be applied.
Hence, a use case of a manufacturing company is described. Alongside energy analyses with consumption data, specific measures are presented.

Bereits Angriffe auf einzelne Unternehmen in der Supply-Chain können eine Kettenreaktion auslösen, die ein ganzes Netz von Partnern gefährden kann. Dieselben Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien, die einen enormen Beitrag zur Produktivität sowie nationalen und globalen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Zuliefernden leisten, vergrößern heute für Unternehmen die mögliche Bedrohungslandschaft. Prominente Ransomware-Angriffe auf die Reederei Maersk und auf den Anbieter für IT-Management-Lösungen Kaseya haben gezeigt, wie anfällig Lieferketten für Cyberkriminelle sind und zu welchen massiven finanziellen Schäden diese führen können. Als Reaktion auf die COVID-19-Pandemie haben viele Unternehmen massiv in ihre digitale Transformation und somit auch in die Digitalisierung der Lieferketten investiert. Dadurch sind Unternehmen nicht nur attraktivere Ziele für Cyberangriffe geworden, sondern bieten den Angreifern mit der digitalisierten Supply-Chain auch einen vielversprechenden neuen Angriffsweg. Derartige Supply-Chain-Attacken greifen ein oder mehrere Unternehmen an und dienen so als trojanisches Pferd, um in letzter Konsequenz ganze Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke zu infiltrieren. Da die Auswirkungen von Angriffen auf die Versorgungsketten zahlreicher Unternehmen nahezu unbegrenzt sind, können Supply-Chain-Attacken nicht als ein isoliertes Problem behandelt werden. Vielmehr müssen diese innerhalb einer ganzheitlichen Cyber-Security-Strategie sowohl beim Zulieferer als auch bei dessen Partnerunternehmen Berücksichtigung finden, um den vielschichtigen Bedrohungen präventiv begegnen zu können. Der folgende Beitrag versteht sich als Überblick bezüglich der aktuellen Bedrohungslandschaft im Bereich Logistik 4.0 und Supply-Chain-Management sowie der möglichen Reaktionsmaßnahmen.
Industry 4.0 is driven by Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Products. Smart Products provide a value to both its users and its manufacturers in terms of a closer connection to the customer and his data as well as the provided smart services. However, many companies, especially SMEs, struggle with the transformation of their existing product portfolio into smart products. In order to facilitate this process, this paper presents a set of smart product use-cases from a manufacturer’s perspective. These use-cases can guide the definition of a smart product and be used during its architecture development and realization. Initially the paper gives an introduction in the field of smart products. After that the research results, based on case-study research, are presented. This includes the methodological approach, the case-study data collection and analysis. Finally, a set of use-cases, their definitions and components are presented and highlighted from the perspective of a smart product manufacturer.
The digital transformation brings up various new tasks to manage new business application software and integrate them into existing business processes and legacy systems, which are necessary to keep e.g. a production system running. Today, all these tasks are on the one hand not clearly defined and on the other hand, responsibility of these cross-disciplinary tasks is unclear in companies being mostly structured in a function-oriented way. While quality management has developed to a firmly established function of process excellence years ago, IT-application management is still to become an inevitable part of the digital transformation. There are just a few authors trying to define and describe this part, the related tasks, and necessary roles in an organization. In this paper, we show how the business needs of a company can influence the ideal adaptation of the digitization solutions and thus become the success of the digital transformation. We base the paper on a use case in manufacturing companies. We then describe how companies deal with business application systems today. Based on the framework Aachen Digital Architecture Management we describe how a company can holistically improve the management of business application systems.
Low-Level-Code Based Production Model For Improving Material Requirements Planning In ERP Systems
(2021)
Single and small-series production companies face specific challenges, such as variable customer order decoupling points (CODP), decreasing quantities and rising cost pressure. This leads to a increasing production complexity and growing requirements on Production Planning and Control (PPC). Digitalization’s direct links between objects, people, and machines as well as detailed recording of production progresses opens new solutions for PPC. However, volume of data and the required processing times are increasing. Thus, to achieve near-real-time data processing, a decentralization of decision-making systems can be observed. The function Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is PPC’s original need for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Here, PPC’s overall problem (to fulfil primary requirements for products) is divided into subproblems (to fulfil single production orders). Especially companies characterized by an organization in accordance to the workshop principle, high in-house production depth and variable CODP are confronted with high dynamics in their production systems. This ends in significant differences between primary requirements (overall problem) and single production orders (subproblems). Ultimately, these insufficient PPC data result systematically in a non-optimal overall solution despite optimal partial solutions. This publication combines PPC’s fundamentals from existing commonly known models with current implementation concepts of ERP systems. A newly developed Low-Level-Code based Production Model provides explanations for deviations between the overall problem and its subproblems. Furthermore, information flows of PPC can be structured between a periodically actualized vertical and an event driven horizontal information flow. These recognitions lead to an improvement of PPC by ERP systems.
