Virtual Worlds – Data Glasses in Intralogistics

Virtual Worlds - Data Glasses in Intralogistics

Benedikt Mättig, Jana Jost, Thomas Kirks
The core task of logistics can be described by the so-called “seven R”. IT means that the right product must be available in the right condition at the right time and at the right place. In addition, further key factors of a well-functioning logistics system are the right quantity, the right costs and the right information. Providing right or incorrect information at the wrong time can have a significant repercussion on the entire process. In particular, the human being who is the recipient of the information has the demanding task of correctly select and interpret it. Therefore, the human-machine interface plays a decisive role in the communication success between human employees and the digital systems surrounding the human at work. On that account, new user interfaces that do not burden people and provide information in a way that it can be perceived intuitively are needed in the future. This is where data glasses come into play.

Human-Machine-Interface for Automated Guided Vehicles

Methode zur Beauftragung von interaktiven Transportsystemen

The human being has the ability to adapt to physical changes in the production and logistic environment. The aim of this research project is to equip series transport vehicle with additional intelligent technique so that the vehicle becomes an automated guided vehicle (AGV) and to reduce the commissioning effort for AGVs. The user can control the AGV by voice and gesture so the AGV can do the work automatically. To realize such an interactive system it is important to develop decentralized controllers for the AGV. Thus, it is possible that the AGV is able to flexibly adapt his own behaviour.

Human Machine Interfaces in the Context of Industrie 4.0

Human Machine Interfaces in the Context of Industrie 4.0

Chancen für Geringqualifizierte durch benutzerfreundliche Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen
Dirk Werthmann, Michael Teucke, Marco Lewandowski, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon
The number of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in industrial environments is growing based on the effort of projects like Industrie 4.0. CPS offer the potential to improve processes in modern value networks. By improving processes, especially jobs with no demand for qualified workers can be dispensed. Another effect are jobs being standardised, that they become very monotonous for the workers. For providing satisfying jobs especially for low qualified workers in future working environments some opportunities CPS offer were presented. First opportunities consumer devices offer were presented, second concepts for user-friendly human machine interfaces were illustrated.
