Challenges of Digitalization in Intermodal Transport

Challenges of Digitalization in Intermodal Transport

Data models for the exchange of planning data for regional freight tram transportation
Jonas Ziegler, Ingo Dittrich, Theo Lutz ORCID Icon, Lisa Fäßler
The logistics industry is currently being confronted with various challenges, such as the lack of drivers, global disruptions to supply chains and the environmental impact of freight transport. In a comparison between the modes of transport, this speaks for a greater shift in freight transport from road to rail. In this article, the challenges for this shift are examined and it is shown to what extent data models can simplify the transport planning and economic assessment of regional freight tram transports.

Platform Economy Without a Platform

How DAOs could make Industry 4.0 more efficient
Andreas Wagener
The application of blockchain and smart contracts also enables the building and operation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). While DAOs are already regularly in use in other areas – e. g. the financial sector − there has hardly been any application in an industrial environment, although, digitalisation and the upcoming of the "Internet of Things" have created a fruitful environment. This article looks at possible economic approaches to adaptation and explores potential business models that could result from the establishment of DAOs in Industry 4.0. (Only in German)

Potential of Platform-Based Business Models in the Plastics Industry

Potential of Platform-Based Business Models in the Plastics Industry

Benedict Bender, Stefanie Lewandowski
The potential of platform-based business models in the context of Industry 4.0 has not yet been fully realized. Approaches for platforms and ecosystem- based value creation vary between industries. The plastics industry has so far been widely ignored in this respect. Due to its industrial structure, in particular the uniform value creation structures, the plastics industry is suitable for digital platforms. In addition to approaches for platforms in the injection molding industry, the article offers a procedure model for the expansion of established business models. This can facilitate the entry into the field of platform-based business models for SMEs.

The Next Revolution: Open-Source Hardware?

The Next Revolution: Open-Source Hardware?

Opportunities and challenges of open-source business models
Anna-Kristin Behnert, Melanie Kessler ORCID Icon, Julia Arlinghaus ORCID Icon
Open-source hardware (OSH) is on its way from a grassroots movement to a major social and industrial development. Open product development processes and products promise innovations for new markets and new customers. OSH could be the answer to the question of how the shift to local and sustainable production could look like. To make this possible, essential core questions need to be answered. How can a business model based on openness and exchange make money at all? (Only in German)

DataLab WestSax – R&D Setting for Regional Data-based Value Creation Experiments

DataLab WestSax - R&D Setting for Regional Data-based Value Creation Experiments

Ein regionaler Katalysator für datenbasierte Wertschöpfungsprozesse
Christian Leyh, Wibke Kusturica ORCID Icon, Sarah Neuschl, Christoph Laroque ORCID Icon
New types of value creation characterized by extensive data use and cross-company data sharing are becoming increasingly important for companies. However, many barriers slow down the path towards data-based value creation, especially for SMEs. Companies often lack specific ideas for data usage or digitalization and data competencies. As a result, there is often untapped value creation potential in companies. By describing a real laboratory setting with real experiments, this article demonstrates support options for companies to identify their own "data treasure" and to lift it.

“Data Generated by Cyber-Physical Systems Will Play a Decisive Role”

"Data Generated by Cyber-Physical Systems Will Play a Decisive Role"

Interview with Prof. Bernd Scholz-Reiter, former editor of Industrie 4.0 Management
Bernd Scholz-Reiter ORCID Icon
Professor Bernd Scholz-Reiter studied industrial engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. After several positions in Germany and abroad, he accepted the call to the University of Bremen in 2000, where he initially held the professorship of Planning and Control of Production Systems in the Department of Production Engineering. From 2002 to 2012, he also headed the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics (BIBA). From 2012 to 2022, Bernd Scholz-Reiter was rector of the University of Bremen.

How Does the Image of the HR Department Influence Recruiting?

How Does the Image of the HR Department Influence Recruiting?

David Padilla
Manufacturing companies are currently facing many hurdles. It is becoming increasingly difficult for them to find qualified workers, so-called blue collar workers. Technology adoption and system usability also pose challenges in the industry, as digital time tracking and shift scheduling are far from the norm in the industrial sector. Human resources software should facilitate the daily tasks of departments in order to achieve business goals. The use of such technologies saves valuable time as processes are automated. The needs of employees are put in the foreground to improve both resource planning and communication of manufacturing companies.

Work 4.0 – Logistics Working World of Tomorrow

Work 4.0 – Logistics Working World of Tomorrow

Effects and consequences of digitalization on the logistical working world
Tobias Reichert, Marc Lorscheider
In the course of digitalization, more and more digital technologies are being used in various areas of logistics. The occupational field is changing and problem-solving and abstracting skills as well as competencies in dealing with IT systems and data are increasingly required. Based on a literature review, this article provides an overview of the current situation in the logistics working world. Effects of digitalization as well as requirements and future competencies in the working world 4.0 are highlighted. Finally, a guideline for the management level is derived in order to promote the acquisition of competencies. (Only in German)

Automated Assembly of Large-Scale Water Electrolyzers

Automated Assembly of Large-Scale Water Electrolyzers

Digitale Montageplanung für eine nachhaltige Wasserstoffwirtschaft auf Grundlage von Produkt, Prozess und Ressource
Patrick Adler, Daniel Syniawa, Malte Jakschik, Lukas Christ, Alfred Hypki, Bernd Kuhlenkötter ORCID Icon
A key element of the energy transition in Germany lies in green hydrogen. The current production of electrolyzers is mostly done in a manufactory-like manner. By digital planning and preparing an assembly with automated, manual and collaborative elements, the manufacturing of water electrolyzers can be scaled economically. In this paper, a reference process from electrolyzer assembly is selected and analyzed for the complete mapping of a data structure. The determined data structure can be used as a basis for a digital twin.

The Asset Administration Shell in Practice

The Asset Administration Shell in Practice

Key to unified IoT integration of heterogeneous assets
Detlef Gerhard, Mario Wolf, Timo Köring, Jannick Huxoll, Julian Rolf
In practice, the integration of heterogeneous IoT components is often a complex and confusing process. The different ways of representing information about individual assets create the desire for a standardized representation. The administration shell (AAS) creates a digital exchange format for this purpose. This potential is to be exploited and put into practice as part of the EIT project "AASHub". The aim of the project is to develop a process for integrating information from the administration shell into the IoT platform "Contact Elements for IoT". (Only in German)
