Industry 4.0
The Mittelstand 4.0 center offers a variety of qualification measures especially for small and
medium-sized enterprises
The growing number of global competitors requires
companies to be highly innovative and willing to invest.
While large companies can absorb R&D investment
through their sales volume, this investment is often not
feasible for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).
In order to enable SME to exploit the potential offered by
digitalization, the project Mittelstand 4.0 raises awareness
of the benefits and opportunities of Industry 4.0 and helps
companies to develop the skills required for a successful
implementation.
For this purpose, the chair fml as part of the Mittel-
stand 4.0 center participates in the realization of a
Mittelstand 4.0 mobile, which is a truck equipped with
various Industry4.0 demonstrators for live experiences
at local companies and events. Furthermore, the Mittel-
stand 4.0-Akademie offers versatile qualification meas-
ures. To set examples for a successful implementation,
small projects are carried out in different SME. The focus
of the chair fml in these projects is to show how the
quality and efficiency of logistics alongside the production
chain can be improved by using digital technologies.
centration effort and hence causes fatigue problems that
result in safety issues and high manipulation times. The
research project ‘Intuitive Crane Control’ aims to develop
a human machine interface that automatically takes both
crane design (number of drives, crane kinematics) and
operator orientation into account and thus allows the
operator to directly control the hook movement from his
point of view. As a result, the operator no longer needs to
calculate the individual movement of each drive. Instead,
he uses the remote control levers to move the hook in an
intuitive way with a single lever movement in the desired
moving direction. Consequently, crane operation becomes
significantly faster, safer and easier to learn.
