The paper specifies the genAI support needs for industrial maintenance against the background of a sociotechnical systems perspective. Emphasizing two needs, accessing implicit operator knowledge and prioritizing complex regulatory knowledge, a multi-layer architecture is outlined for an AI-based context-sensitive maintenance assistance system (MAS). The main purpose is to bridge knowledge gaps with genAI if human expertise and human implicit knowledge are not available and to cope with sub-process-specific challenges of multiple regulations. The MAS facilitates access to technical knowledge, distributes expertise, and shares implicit knowledge of experienced operators across different layers of information processing. The approach goes beyond standardization and has a high potential to enhance organizational as well as individual resilience.

In modern production companies, a heterogeneous IT landscape often complicates day-to-day work. A promising antidote is the use of intelligent agents, which use generative AI for routine tasks and can therefore increase efficiency. Whether these intelligent systems can be successfully integrated into existing networks determines whether the flow of information can be improved and manual effort reduced.

Cell disruption technologies used in industry and research are versatile and divided into biological, chemical and physical technologies. Physical technologies are subdivided into mechanical and non-mechanical. Common used cell disruption devices like the French Press does not enable a continuously cell disruption with a high amount of sample volumes. The text at hand describes a new continuously operating cell disruption device developed at Fraunhofer-Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology. Concluding the application possibilities and potentials are described.
