Remanufacturing in the Learning Factory

An integrative platform for the circular economy
Jan Koller ORCID Icon, Frank Döpper ORCID Icon
In remanufacturing, used goods are brought up to the quality level of a new product. This distinguishes it from recycling, which recovers materials and converts them into new units or products. Various uncertainties, such as the condition, quantity and time of return, can be minimized with Industry 4.0 approaches and artificial intelligence. A special learning concept ensures that employees have the required competence profiles in this context.

Justus von Geibler ORCID Icon, Julius Piwowar ORCID Icon, Patrik Fröhlich ORCID Icon, Filiz Meidrodt ORCID Icon, Dominik Lenz ORCID Icon
Companies with traditional working and manufacturing structures face the challenge of progressive digitalization and internationalization. In order to adapt, many companies aim to develop digital and agile working skills and competences. This paper describes the conception of a digital platform to promote agility in innovation of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in structurally weak regions and to contribute to their innovativeness and future viability.

Electrical and Hydrogen Microgrid

Electrical and Hydrogen Microgrid

Energy Control of a Self-Sufficient Supply System Based on a Combined Electrical and Hydrogen Distribution Grid
David Salomon Stephan, Uwe Werner, Carsten Fichter
The main goal of assembling a self-sufficient microgrid is to integrate all technical equipment into an autonomous energy supply system as a virtual power plant (VPP). The system integration focuses on the power electronic devices and the combination of gas and electrical supply chains. The developed microgrid structure is fed from renewable energy systems (green hydrogen), the electrical grid and the H2 gas grid with a liquid or gaseous energy source. In comparison to an island grid, the microgrid can be operated in parallel mode with the common public grid. The associated challenges of transient energy flows and the holistic view of a regulated microgrid based on an electrical grid and an H2 gas network are part of this article.

Der Weg zu einem digitalisierten Produktionsunternehmen
Jürgen Köbler, Tobias Fischer, Benjamin Klerch, Michael Schlecht
The age of globalisation is characterised by increased competition. An opportunity to succeed in the face of increasing competition lies in the digitisation of production companies. This article is dedicated to the design of a three-stage model platform of Industry 4.0, which focuses on the consistency of processes from the customer to the supplier at all company levels. The model platform is followed by an overview of the transformation steps for evaluating and shaping progress on the way to become a digitised production company.

The Competence Atlas

The Competence Atlas

Spielerisches Herangehen an komplexe Themen
Ann-Kathrin Pallasch, Hendrik Seithe
From today, convenient concepts have to be developed and opposed against prospective skills shortage in logistics companies. To make young adults interested in education and training in this field, a platform has to be designed, where all appropriate offers can be found. The development project “Competence Atlas for Logistics in the region of Bremen” worked on an application, which can be applied as well on a Multitouch-Table as in the Internet (www.Komptenzatlas-Logistik-HB.de). It is an exemplary platform that gives information in German and English to diverse target groups.
