Abstract

An actual study about potentials and needs of action in the range of factory planning projects shows clearly that the used process models can’t handle the dynamic and the complexity in these projects. For this reason, the University of Applied Science Landshut has been developing within the Landshuter Produktionssystem (LPS): CLean Production - Lean & Clean a new factory planning methodology. This allows for the first time to design the factory structures from beginning based on lean criteria in connection with the planning and control. The method will also satisfy the requirements referred because of an agile process model.

AI-Based Identification of Knowledge Transfer Situations

AI-Based Identification of Knowledge Transfer Situations

An adaptive multi-agent system for agile product development in engineering
Georg David Ritterbusch ORCID Icon, Ravil Goetzke, Norbert Gronau ORCID Icon
Although it has been demonstrated that organizational knowledge transfer can be improved in principle, there is still no automated approach for identifying patterns in complex, context-dependent, and domain-specific knowledge transfer situations. This conceptual article therefore examines and characterizes knowledge transfer situations using the real-world example of product development in engineering. Furthermore, a concept for an adaptive, AI-based, real-time multi-agent system uses data to recognize recurring patterns in knowledge transfer situations and enables context-sensitive interventions. Finally, an outlook is provided on AI-based learning mechanisms (reinforcement learning) that can be used to adapt interventions for higher effectiveness in the long term.

Systematically Planning Vertical Factories

Systematically Planning Vertical Factories

Developing factory types as a foundation for intelligent planning support
Nikolaus Kremslehner ORCID Icon, Sebastian Schlund ORCID Icon, Wilfried Sihn
Vertical factories reduce land use and harness the advantages of urban production. However, their multi-story structure significantly increases planning complexity. To counter such effects, this paper presents a typology that combines proven solutions for recurring challenges in the planning and operation of vertical factories. Relevant characteristics were examined using real-world case studies and structured within a morphological framework. This framework was consolidated into factory types that provide guidance for conceptual planning and serve as the foundation for intelligent planning support.

AI-Based Building Inspection for Large Structures

AI-Based Building Inspection for Large Structures

A new approach to construction progress monitoring
Jan Sender, Konrad Jagusch, Michael Geist ORCID Icon, David Jericho ORCID Icon, Christian Scharr ORCID Icon
Monitoring construction progress, as required in the one-off production of large structures, is very time- and labor-intensive due to a high level of complexity and individuality. The goal of this article is to develop a sensor-based approach for capturing and evaluating multiple inspection characteristics. The use of machine learning models to detect objects and derive relevant information forms the basis for linking current condition to construction schedule. This enables a significant increase in efficiency during construction progress monitoring and a well-founded assessment of progress.

Site Assessment for Flexible Intralogistics in Brownfield Sites

Site Assessment for Flexible Intralogistics in Brownfield Sites

Innovative decision support in practice
Jolanda Schierbaum, Carsten Feldmann, Lars Renhof
Due to its dynamic environment, space planning in intralogistics is not a one-time task but a recurring decision-making process subject to numerous constraints imposed by existing infrastructure. Decisions are often based on incomplete data, resulting in a high risk of poor planning decisions and inefficient use of space. This paper presents a practice-oriented process model for space evaluation in brownfield projects. The proposed approach improves the standardization and consistency of space evaluation and promotes best practices among all stakeholders. By supporting systematic decision-making, the process model contributes to optimized planning and resource allocation, thereby reducing risks and avoiding costly implementation errors.The process model is demonstrated through a case study conducted at a commercial vehicle manufacturer.

Conducting Experiments in Hybrid Learning Factories

Conducting Experiments in Hybrid Learning Factories

The example of the InTraLab Potsdam
Industrial production is undergoing rapid transformation through digitalization, automation and cyber-physical systems, creating new competence requirements for employees. Learning factories provide experiential environments for developing these competences. This article presents the Industrial Transformation Lab (InTraLab) as a hybrid learning factory combining physical demonstrators and digital simulations.
Learning Factories for the Future of Manufacturing in Brazil

Learning Factories for the Future of Manufacturing in Brazil

Advancing manufacturing through technology and skills development
Manufacturing firms in developing countries face challenges in closing productivity gaps while adopting Industry 4.0 technologies. Learning factories are one helpful approach to countering these challenges. One such example is the learning factory Fábrica do Futuroin São Paulo, Brazil, which has engaged students, supported competence development, and collaborated with industry in applied research, functioning as a hub for advanced manufacturing initiatives.
