The potential transformation cyber-physical systems can bring to a broad variety of domains is widely discussed in academia and industry. Despite the expected benefits in the industrial domain of further automatization of production processes and the possibility to produce “batch size one” at large-scale production costs, the majority of organizati...

The extensive digitization in industry and the advancing introduction of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in manufacturing offer a wide-ranging potential for industrial value creation. To ensure effective engineering processes of these systems, technological and organizational challenges need to be addressed systematically. Thereto, we develop a method...

Innovation in the medical technology (med tech) industry has a major impact on well-being in society. Open innovation has the potential to accelerate the development of new or improved healthcare solutions. Building on work system theory (WST), this paper explores how a multi-sided open innovation platform can systematically be established in a Ger...

The application of models and simulations is well-established in systems engineering and development. To adapt this approach to the digital age, we propose the concept of “cyber-physical modeling and simulation (CPMS)” which enables to constitute cyber-physical systems (CPS) with scalable complexity, modularity and variability in size. Based thereo...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) offer great potential for the digital transformation of industrial value creation in the context of Industry 4.0. They unify and integrate several technological approaches, including big data analysis and artificial intelligence, enhancing real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. An extensive knowled...

Integrating knowledge is crucial for open innovation, and digital technologies can play a central role because they support knowledge sharing. In open innovation projects, in particular, little is known about the role of technology. Here, the individual behaviour of users is taken into account concerning the extent to which knowledge is shared. The...

Im Rahmen der voranschreitenden Digitalisierung wird dem technologischen Konzept der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) eine hohe Relevanz beigemessen.

Diese umfassen neben Industrie 4.0, vernetzter Mobilität, dem...

Die Innovation von smarten Produkt-Service-Systemen (sPSS) bietet Unternehmen zahlreiche Potentiale, geht jedoch auch mit nicht zu vernachlässigenden Herausforderungen einher. Diese Studie erhebt den Status quo der Innovation von sPSS, sowohl mittels einer Umfrage unter Unternehmen als auch literaturbasiert, um anschließend acht Gestaltungsleitsätz...

Due to increasing complexity on the shop floor associated with the digital transformation and growing penetration of modern production environments with smart services, the operational phase of automated production facilities is gaining additional importance. The growing range of hybrid service bundles, i.e., the combination of digital services and...

Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie insbesondere für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen die Gestaltung und Innovation von KI-basierten Dienstleistungen in der industriellen Wertschöpfung unterstützt werden kann. Dazu werden Herausforderungen bei der Entwicklung KI-basierter Dienstleistungen erhoben und anschließend Artefakte präsentiert, die zur Innovation...

Sensor application is a basis for digitized industrial value creation. However, for existing production and logistics systems, sensor retrofitting is accompanied by challenges, including plant heterogeneity and lack of standards. This work addresses this issue through the design, implementation and evaluation of an embedded vision high-bay shelf mo...

Die digitale Transformation verändert industrielle Wertschöpfung umfassend und nachhaltig. Dieser disruptive Prozess hat u. a. große Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitsformen, Rollen und Qualifikationsanforderungen in der Produktion sowie in vor- und nachgelagerten Wertschöp-fungsstufen. Neben Handlungs-, Fach- und Methodenkompetenzen in der Industriearbe...

Increasing complexity in production and factory automation represents a significant challenge in context of maintenance. One approach to address complexity is the implementation of automated industrial service bundles, which resemble complex business processes. To enable efficient usage of service bundles, their individual components are designed a...

Künstliche Intelligenz – KI – ist ein aktuell viel diskutiertes Thema, welches in vielen Anwendungskontexten eine Rolle spielt. In diesem Beitrag liegt der Fokus auf KI-initiierten und -basierten Innovationen im Dienstleistungskontext. Dazu werden Fragen eruiert, inwieweit sich die Potentiale der KI auf Dienstleistungsinnovationen auswirken, welche...

With the implementation of cyber-physical production systems, a multitude of isolated industrial services utilizing versatile hardware and software components in heterogeneous and rigid system architectures are an obstacle for the consequent extension of holistic automation within production networks. To address this issue, we conceptualize a platf...

Unter dem Begriff „Smart City“ hält die digitale Transformation Einzug in deutsche Städte und Gemeinden und verändert Infrastrukturen und Prozesse im öffentlichen Raum nachhaltig. Die Smart City der Zukunft hält für Bürgerinnen und Bürger sowie für die Verwaltung und weitere Organisationen viele Potentiale bereit, muss im Rahmen ihrer Umsetzung abe...

Der neuzeitliche Bildungsbegriff ist untrennbar mit den Idealen der Aufklärung verbunden. Mit Bildung geht demnach eine kritische Distanz einher, die der Mensch zu sittlichen und metaphysischen Regelwerken aufbaut, um sich selbst als mündiger Entscheidungsträger erleben und verantwortlich handeln zu können. Auch für die Bundeswehr spielt dieser Ged...

The increasingly progressive digitization of industrial value creation in the context of the fourth industrial revolution is leading to profound change for companies. In this context, technological innovations like industrial cyber-physical systems (CPS) have an impact not only on production processes and service provision but also on the roles and...

Philosophers of technology, engineers, and other experts involved with the same subject matter look at technology in different ways. This paper explores what happens if conflicts and misunderstandings between them cannot be resolved. The exchange between the different expert groups on philosophical questions concerning technology is described as a...

In a world permeated by digital technology, engineering is involved in every aspect of human life. Engineers address a wider range of design problems than ever before, raising new questions and challenges regarding their work, as boundaries between engineering, management, politics, education and art disappear in the face of comprehensive socio-tec...

The digitization of the industry offers far-reaching potentials in the context of industrial value creation. With the introduction of technologies such as cyber-physical systems (CPS), organizations aim to realize them. However, due to an increase in complexity with regard to system architectures and the number of involved stakeholders, organizatio...

Ebenso wie in zivilen Unternehmen durchläuft die Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung der Bundeswehr (BW) momentan grundlegende Veränderungen. Im Gegensatz zum zivilen Arbeitsmarkt ergibt sich der Handlungsbedarf bei der BW jedoch nicht nur aus technisch-ökonomischen Trends wie Digitalisierung und Industrie 4.0, sondern auch aus geo- und sicherhe...

Der Einsatz cyber-physischer Systeme im Industrie 4.0-Kontext verändert die industrielle Wertschöpfung nachhaltig.
