Abstract

The development of textile products is associated with high material, time, personnel and cost expenditure. The paper describes the digital twinning for materials and processes and their application in a digital product development process, which can accelerate the ramp-up phase and thus reduce development costs by up to 60%.

Article

The development of textile products is associated with high material, time, personnel and cost expenditure. Up to now, the development process follows an empirical approach based on the know- how of long-standing experts. Yet this expert knowledge is hardly documented, and given the shortage of skilled workers in the textile industry the long-term transfer of knowledge is at risk. The paper describes the digital twinning for materials and processes and their application in a digital product development process, which can accelerate the ramp-up phase and thus reduce development costs by up to 60%.

Serious Gaming and the Energy Transition

Serious Gaming and the Energy Transition

Collaborative knowledge generation and interactive understanding of complex interrelationships
Janine Gondolf ORCID Icon, Gert Mehlmann, Jörn Hartung, Bernd Schweinshaut, Anne Bauer
Conveying the complexity and multifaceted nature of the energy transition to a broad audience is a challenge. This article demonstrates how interactive serious games on a multitouch table can help make connections tangible and comprehensible. The games and the table were used in various conversational contexts. These are presented here in three case vignettes based on participant observation of the different applications, as well as situated and shared reflection. The vignettes demonstrate how interaction can trigger epistemic processes, enable shifts in perspective, and foster collective thinking, all of which are necessary for shaping the future of society as a whole.

Experiencing Digital Twins in Production and Logistics

Experiencing Digital Twins in Production and Logistics

The fischertechnik® Learning Factory 4.0 as a development platform for possible expansion stages
Deike Gliem ORCID Icon, Sigrid Wenzel ORCID Icon, Jan Schickram, Tareq Albeesh
The fischertechnik® Learning Factory 4.0 has proven to be a suitable experimental environment for testing digital twins. Depending on the targeted maturity stage, the functions of a digital twin range from status monitoring and forecasting to the operational control of production and logistics systems. To systematically classify these functions, this article presents a maturity model that serves as a framework for the development of a digital twin. Building on this, selected use cases are implemented in a test and development environment based on a system architecture with multi-layered logic structure. These initial implementations serve to highlight application purposes, relevant methods, and typical challenges and potentials in the transfer to real factory environments.

Collaborative Robots in Production Environments

Collaborative Robots in Production Environments

Employee qualification and acceptance for human-machine interaction
Tobias Wienzek, Mathias Cuypers ORCID Icon
The introduction of new technologies poses a major challenge, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). At the same time, SMEs must rise to this challenge in order to keep pace technologically and economically. Employee acceptance is an important factor in ensuring that both the introduction and the long-term use of a technology are successful. At the same time, the introduction process also has a central influence on acceptance in the long term. This article uses the implementation of collaborative robotics as an example for examining such an introduction process, identifying the key factors that influence employee acceptance and the important role played by advanced employee training. It serves to highlight how the introduction process and employee training are seamlessly interlinked.

XAI for Predicting and Nudging Worker Decision-Making

XAI for Predicting and Nudging Worker Decision-Making

Feasibility and perceived ethical issues
Jan-Phillip Herrmann ORCID Icon, Catharina Baier, Sven Tackenberg ORCID Icon, Verena Nitsch ORCID Icon
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)-based nudging, while ethically complex, may offer a favorable alternative to rigid, algorithmically generated schedules that simultaneously respects worker autonomy and improves overall scheduling performance on the shop floor. This paper presents a controlled laboratory study demonstrating the successful nudging of 28 industrial engineering students in a job shop simulation. The study shows that the observed concordance between students’ sequencing decisions and a predefined target sequence increases by 9% through nudging. This is done by using XAI to analyze students’ preferences and adjusting task deadlines and priorities in the simulation. The paper discusses the ethical issues of nudging, including potential manipulation, illusory autonomy, and reducing people to numbers. To mitigate these issues, it offers recommendations for implementing the XAI-based nudging approach in practice and highlights its strengths relative to rigid, ...

Applied AI for Human-Centric Assembly Workplace Design

Applied AI for Human-Centric Assembly Workplace Design

An ethics-informed approach
Tadele Belay Tuli ORCID Icon, Michael Jonek ORCID Icon, Sascha Niethammer, Henning Vogler, Martin Manns ORCID Icon
Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance smart assembly by predicting human motion and adapting workplace design. Using probabilistic models such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs), AI systems anticipate operator actions to improve coordination with robots. However, these predictive systems raise ethical concerns related to safety, fairness, and privacy under the EU AI Act, which classifies them as high-risk. This paper presents a conceptual method integrating probabilistic motion modeling with ethical evaluation via Z-Inspection®. An industrial case study using the Smart Work Assistant (SWA) demonstrates how multimodal sensing (motion, gaze) and interpretable models enable anticipatory assistance. The approach moves from ethics evaluation to ethics-informed work design, yielding transferable principles and a configurable assessment matrix that supports compliance-by-design in collaborative assembly.
