In the pursuit of modern and future-thinking education, students must be more oriented towards research and the practice-oriented development of products and processes. Experts from various disciplines are currently forced to use complex measurement and equipment infrastructure but are unable to adequately combine and visualize the increasingly com...
Digital Twins (DTs) are becoming an empowering and pivotal element in many industries to exploit modern IT technologies across all sectors and gain significant benefits from preexisting as well as greenfield systems. This paper introduces a novel approach to building management and research in laboratory environments, utilizing Building Information...
The emerging shift in the use of innovative and digital technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry promises an opportunity to create consistent, system-intelligent buildings that provide a reliable source of all relevant information about the building for maintenance, technical management or decision-making proce...
Zusammenfassung
Um zukünftige Produktionssysteme und -prozesse auf Flexibilität, Interoperabilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit auszurichten, sind Konzepte zur Realisierung durchgängiger, horizontaler und vertikaler Integration von Assets (physischen Betriebsmittel) notwendig. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden ein konventioneller und ein fähigkeitsbasie...
The increasing intersection of physical and digital spaces through intelligent Digital Twins (DTs) is revolutionizing real-world facilities and processes. While DTs are mainly used in engineering and manufacturing, there is an urgent need to extend their theoretical and practical applications to different domains. This paper presents UniTwin, a com...
Digital Twins (DTs) as a disruptive technology of digital transformation are emerging as a true game changer in several application fields. Through digital representations of physical entities, vertical and horizontal integration can take place. This is the basis for comprehensive interoperability and accessibility between human and machine. This p...
In data-intensive research, reliable management of research data is a major challenge. In the field of Mass Spectrometry Imaging, vast amounts of data are being acquired from mostly proprietary data sources. Consequently, hindering seamless data integration into Research Data Management systems. Without a data repository, the continuous generation...
Flexibility and reconfigurability regarding mass-customized products are the key
premises of future industrialization. The amalgamation of Digital Twin (DT) approaches, knowledge-representing technologies, and skill-based engineering methodologies allow such approaches to emerge. This paper deals with the integration of knowledge representations as...
In order to align future forms of production with flexibility, interoperability, and adaptability, the essential steps toward horizontal and vertical integration are indispensable. This paper discusses a conventional and conceptual approach to OPC UA communication and intelligent orchestration of skill-based control logic. The conceptual approach s...
Digital Twins (DTs) are technological cutting-edge enablers for future industrial revolutions. Intelligent behavior is nevertheless not often granted to them so that DTs are tied as passive data representations organized in repository-like structures. In order to create intrinsic value, intelligent structures, and approaches must be established lev...
Due to the growing environmental and geopolitical challenges nowadays, which are causing supply chain complications, industry and society are facing significant new objections. As a complement and extension to the technology-driven premises of Industry 4.0, the value-driven Industry 5.0 focuses on society and the environment. Human centricity, sust...
One of the main topics within research activities is the management of research data. Large amounts of data acquired by heterogeneous scientific devices, sensor systems, measuring equipment, and experimental setups have to be processed and ideally be managed by Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data management approaches in o...
In order to empower future production to be ready for Industry 5.0, it needs to be geared towards customer-oriented mass customisation. Yet the necessary connection between production process and product within the control software is not adequately addressed. In the engineering process, especially while control logic design, the digital twins of p...
Digital twins of product and production processes are being used more and more frequently. The reason for this are the benefits for all departments involved. Therefore, it is not only important to share an IT platform as a 3D collaboration environment with uniform data structures, so all employees can work with the same database. As well it is impo...
Digital Twins are a key concept and an enabling technology within the digital transformation. They can communicate bilaterally with their physical counterpart. Thus the twins are reflecting each other's properties and state changes. Digital Twins add value to many use case domains, e. g., smart manufacturing. Nevertheless, today's implementations a...
Distributed Market Spaces (DMS), refer to an exchange environment in emerging Internet of Everything, that supports users in making transactions of complex products; a novel type of products made up of different products and/or services that can be customized to better fit the individual context of the user. In order to express their demand for a p...
Smart devices and cyber-physical systems, which are interconnected to IT systems and services, form the basis for the arising Internet of Everything, opening up new economic opportunities for its participants and users beyond its technological aspects and challenges. While today’s e-business scenarios are mostly dominated by a few centralized onlin...
Das Internet der Dinge wird in naher Zukunft unser Leben und unsere Gesellschaft nachhaltig verändern und prägen. Sensor- und Aktuatornetzwerke verknüpfen die reale mit der virtuellen Welt und ermöglichen neuartige Möglichkeiten wie z.B. die Realisierung von Industrie 4.0, Smart Grids oder Smart Cities. Dabei treffen diese Systeme vermehrt autonome...
According to the declaration of the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) on Open Access: "OECD Principles
and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding" research
data should be available for everyone and Europe follows these
directions (Digital Agenda, N. Kroes). Data being 'open' does not mean
directly app...
Increasing the complexity of products and processes in engineering domains, accompanied by time as well as cost pressures, lead to complex decision processes comprising human expert's interaction and excessive use of sophisticated tools from computational engineering. Grid technology offers both basic concepts and tools to automate decision process...
Globalization has resulted in a dynamic environment which is a combination of uncertainties and unpredictable behaviour of
customers, enterprise partners and market conditions. As a consequence, manufacturing enterprises tend to improve the monitoring
and control of enterprise value creation processes to achieve flexibility and adaptability. Enterp...
Numerical simulations in engineering domains are a commonly used technique for analyzing and optimizing products and production processes while increasing the process reliability and shortening the time to market and minimizing costs. In the engineering domain of metal casting, macroscopic simulations (e.g. mold-filling or solidification simulation...
Grid computing infrastructures and service-oriented architectures commonly rely on web services as their implementation technology. This technology allows complex workflows to be designed and executed by workflow engines in either Grid or standard web service environments. Nevertheless, the integration of human intervention in Grid workflows is sti...
Virtual prototyping in manufacturing gains more and more importance, since companies com- peting in industry noticed the increasing cost pressure alongside higher quality requirements. The utilization of virtual prototyping techniques provides a possibility to reduce the total devel- opment costs and the time to market, while simultaneously innovat...
The software development process for many real-world ap- plications requires many experts from dierent domains to cooperate.
