Digital technologies are crucial for the competitiveness and innovative capacity of industry. While Industry 4.0 strives for greater efficiency through the intelligent networking of people, machines and information systems, the concept of Industry 5.0 focuses on people—and defines their well-being and identification capabilities as crucial to the success of digitalization. An analysis of their success factors can only help.

Efficiency in container terminal operations is key for competitiveness. Many large German terminals use the flexible but relatively risk-laden manned straddle carriers (SCs). The research project STRADegy evaluated the reliability and profitability of automated SCs in northern-German container terminals via a combination of a pilot installation and an emulation at the container terminal in Wilhelmshaven. Parallel to that, rollout-guidelines were developed. This paper introduces central results regarding a successful rollout of auto-SC-systems.

Product Modularization Along the Supply Chain

Product Modularization Along the Supply Chain

How the Implementation Succeeds
Martin Brylowski, Henning Schöpper ORCID Icon, Marwin Krull
The advancing technological change, the globalization of markets as well as increasing customer requirements have led to a significant increase in complexity in manufacturing companies and their supply chains. Companies and entire value chains are countering this development with product modularization strategies. In this context, however, the investigation of the influences of product modularization on the supply chain receives little attention. This can lead to unused potentials and additional risks, such as the loss of core competencies. Therefore, this article deals with necessary processes and success factors that result from a joint consideration of product modularization along the supply chain. On the basis of a systematic analysis of scientific literature and guideline-supported expert interviews, a process model with different phases and steps was developed and currently necessary success factors were identified.

Self-organizing Map – A New Approach for Production Control

Self-organizing Map - A New Approach for Production Control

Kai Pohlmeyer
Outsourcing is one of the biggest global trends in the biopharmaceutical industry. It is taking more and more specific know-how to master the challenges posed by manufacturing of biologics. This includes rising prices and the need for cost reduction as well as the absolute necessity for flexibility and at least the ever shifting and in most cases increasing regulatory issues for biomanufacturing. This contribution provides a brief overview of trends and future challenges in biomanufacturing and how a contract manufacturing organisation with many years of experience positioning itself to tackle these challenges.

Success Factors for Industrial Services

Success Factors for Industrial Services

A Similarity in Different Business Fields?
Marc Kuhn, Vanessa Kollmann, Yvonne Zajontz
In the last few years industrial companies remark that industrial services offer an interesting opportunity for companies to improve their company performance. To exploit this opportunity these companies have to clearly distinguish themselves from their competitors. Against this background the question what are the decisive factors of success for industrial services have to be explored. In an empirical study we got evidence that the success factors depending on different kind of services. Furthermore the following article discusses reasons for the interesting empirical results achieved.

Wearable Computing – Information at the Right Time in the Right Place

Wearable Computing - Information at the Right Time in the Right Place

Informationen zur rechten Zeit am rechten Ort
Michael Lawo
During the last 20 years the computer motivated a drastic change for the office work and by embedded systems controlling the shop floor. However in the daily work paper is sometimes still the only medium supporting work processes in production and maintenance in information provision and gathering. Often more than 50 % of the process time are just caused by the production and handling of those papers. Wearable Computing solutions now offer a possibility to obtain information on the move - unobtrusively supporting the primary tasks by information provision and collection. The introduction of the technology requires sufficient user acceptance. Only when this user acceptance is given the encountered potentials improving quality and productivity can be realised.
