Project LoTuS - Energetic Optimization of Parts Drying

Projekt LoTuS: Ansätze zur energetischen Optimierung von Reinigungsanlagen mit integrierter Trocknung
Ghada Elserafi, Adrian von Hayn, Matthias Weigold
Due to rising quality requirements in the metalworking industry, parts drying has been gaining significance, leading to the increasing importance of reducing the energy consumption of drying processes. Therefore, the LoTuS project investigates different approaches to increase drying efficiency. Along with alternative drying technologies, process digitization is employed to provide sufficient transparency for part-specific drying. Using sensor data, artificial intelligence is utilized for process monitoring. Peak demand is further reduced by implementing load management techniques.

Digital Engineering Challenges

Use of virtual engineering for services and processes
Veit Köppen, Gunter Saake
Digital Engineering is becoming more important due to its potentials in cost reduction as well as a unique instrument to control complex products and processes. Nowadays it is used in the industry to cope with more and more individual products accompanied by efficiency requirements on the production processes. The proceeding technical evolution makes it possible to participate in the domain of services from digital engineering. In this article we address challenges for linking process execution and planning. A logistic example illustrates the fusion of real and virtual world.
