Perspectives for production

In 2016, the Chair for Industrial Management and Assembly Technology
considered in particular the possibilities of how humans can be integrated
into the objectives of Industry 4.0. In addition, the further development of
electro-mobility at the production site Germany was specifically targeted.
Industry 4.0
development process. An important field
of research is the planning and control
of autonomous production that is based
on cyber-physical systems, where the
customer-innovated products will be
produced. It is linked directly to the
open-innovation platform to ensure that
the customer is always well informed of
the feasibility of their design, and at the
same time receives a delivery schedule
and cost estimate.
The results offer companies a very
innovative business model with the
opportunity to position themselves on the
market with customer-innovated products,
and to strengthen Germany’s position as a
business location in the long term.
In addition to all technological devel-
opments in the context of industry 4.0
humans also play a central role in the
factory of the future. In order to be able to
make reliable statements about the poten-
tial and dangers of its networking with the
production system, the research field ‘Man
in the factory’ set up and commissioned
an experimental and learning laboratory
last year.
In addition to carrying out empirical
studies, the learning laboratory is used in
current research projects for the testing
of prototypical applications of assistance
systems and the validation of initial
research approaches. In particular, the
projects ‘Smart Interface’ (funded by BFS)
and ‘Individual, dynamic workplace assis-
tance’ (funded by MAN). Furthermore,
the learning laboratory allows an intuitive
transfer of the knowledge acquired.
Another focus was on the production of
customer-innovated products. Within
the research project InnoCyFer (funded
by BMWi) an open-innovation platform
was developed, which would enable the
integration of the creativity and innovation
potential of customers in the product
