The task of designing and planning an assembly system is complex and challenging. Today, planning results are often dependent on the experience and methodological skills of the planner as well as on the available planning tools available. Digital processes are used to accelerate the planning process and establish the best possible shared knowledge...

Uncertainty is a characteristic element in the early planning phase of assembly systems. Today, planning methods normally apply precise data and do not take uncertainty into account. In this context, customer demand is one of the most important planning parameters for the design of assembly systems, providing specifications for the quantity of prod...

Fahrzeuge für die sog. letzte Meile sind wesentlicher Bestandteil von innerstädtischen Logistikkonzepten (vgl. Gumpert und Wiese 2017) und für die individuelle Mobilität. Bei der individuellen Mobilität können Nutzer idealerweise direkt zwischen verschiedenen Verkehrsmitteln wechseln – eine Möglichkeit hierfür ist ein balancierendes Zweiradfahrzeug...

This paper presents a new multi-criteria evaluation method in the field of assembly system design using graph-based design languages. After introducing in the concept planning phase of assembly system design, this contribution illustrates current approaches and criteria to evaluate the results of the design process. Afterwards, mathematical princip...

The current increase in road traffic in cities requires innovative, low-emission and flexible solutions for passenger transport on short distances. The main topic of this paper is a customer-oriented digital design process of a self-balanced scooter, which can be used as an individual last-mile means of transport between for example public means of...

In a market-driven economy, the availability of an evaluation of the manufacturability cost and economic efficiency right on from the early design phase is a competitive advantage. For this reason, a methodology is proposed in this work which enhances the planning capabilities and efficiency by automatic provision of steel constructions with manufa...

Today manufacturing companies are increasingly using digital tools to react to the increased product complexity. The process today, however, is still characterized by manual activities for changes or missing data continuity, which leads to errors in the digital models for the product and assembly system. Scope of this research is a complete digital...

Within product development process data and information management is an essential task. Data and information are generated at every stage of this process and stored in software tools used to generate that data. For large scale manufacturing systems this leads to manual work, which is error-prone. This issue intensifies due to increasing influence...

This paper illustrates a new engineering approach in the field of digital production planning using graph-based design languages. After introducing the overall process of graph-based production engineering, this contribution presents its most important characteristics. As a first step, the general concept of design languages is introduced; afterwar...

This paper presents a new quality- and lifecycle-oriented approach of integrated production engineering in automotive industry. In a first step, current production engineering projects are analyzed and present methodical, information-technical and organizational challenges regarding the project phase of concept planning are depicted. Based on this,...

Car Manufacturers are subject to continuous and fundamental changes. Already today increasing time pressure, rising complexity and a soaring cost pressure require a shorter time to market. As assembly planning is one of car manufacturers' core competence an innovative approach to adapt the processes is needed. This paper presents the early idea of...

Produzierende Unternehmen unterliegen einem kontinuierlichen und zum Teil fundamentalen Wandel. Be-reits heute stehen diese Unternehmen unter einem immer stärker zunehmenden Zeitdruck, einem anhalten-denden Kostendruck, und gleichzeitig steigt die Komplexität der Produkte und Prozesse. Für Unternehmen, deren Kernkompetenz Montageprozesse sind, ist...
