Operationalizing Ethical AI with tachAId<\/h4>\n
Validating an interactive advisory tool in two manufacturing use cases<\/div>

\n Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into workplace processes promises significant efficiency gains, yet organizations face numerous ethical challenges that stakeholders are often initially unaware of\u2014from opacity in decision-making to algorithmic bias and premature automation risks. This paper presents the design and validation of tachAId, an interactive advisory tool aimed at embedding human-centered ethical considerations into the development of AI solutions. It reports on a validation study conducted across two distinct industrial AI applications with varying AI maturity. tachAId successfully directs attention to critical ethical considerations across the AI solution lifecycle that might be overlooked in technically-focused development. However, the findings also reveal a central tension: while effective in raising awareness, the tool\u2019s non-linear design creates significant usability challenges, indicating a user preference for more structured, linear guidance, especially ... <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Intelligent Load Carrier Management<\/h4>\n
AI-supported monitoring and reduction of losses in logistics<\/div>
Dominik Augenstein<\/a>, Lea Basler<\/a><\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t <\/div>Load carriers are essential for transporting manufactured parts in manufacturing companies. Despite their \u2018simplicity\u2019, they are usually expensive to purchase as they are manufactured expressly to fit purpose. While tracking methods such as GPS tracking can be used to prevent the loss of load carriers, this is associated with monitoring costs and presents challenges with regard to data protection as soon as the work performance of intralogistics employees is monitored. Assigning load carriers to designated clusters and monitoring these clusters provides an effective solution\u2014without drawing conclusions about employee performance. Furthermore, artificial intelligence can optimize this approach whilst also deterring the theft of load carriers. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Functional Safety and Cyber Security in the Process Industry<\/h4>\n
A tension between stability and agility<\/div>

\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t <\/div>Functional safety (safety) and cyber security (security) are key aspects of modern industry and technology. Safety aims to minimize risks posed by system malfunctions. This includes measures to protect people and the environment from failures and errors within systems. Security focuses on protecting systems and networks from digital attacks. The primary security objectives include ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A joint consideration of safety and security is essential for the future of the process industry, as both the physical safety and digital integrity of modern systems must be ensured. In industrial practice, this creates a field of tension: measures to enhance security can negatively impact safety and vice versa. This article analyzes relevant standards and regulations, presents key approaches for the integrated consideration of safety and security, and highlights areas of further research. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The Advantages of Microservices<\/h4>\n
An examination of current literature on its application in companies<\/div>
Korvin Lemke<\/a> \n \"ORCID<\/a>, Ralph Riedel<\/a> \n \"ORCID<\/a><\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n
\n The intensive use of the term microservice calls for a theoretical analysis of the technology. Since service-oriented architecture approaches have produced rather disappointing results, the focus should be on the advantages of microservices. This article questions which principles justify the use of microservices as a system architecture. So far, some of the advantages mentioned in the examined literature have not been further explained or defined. There is also a lack of key figures for measuring success. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

GAIA-X Maturity Model\u00a0<\/h4>\n
Assessing the future viability of cross-company \u2028data exchange<\/div>
Maximilian Weiden<\/a>, Jokim Jan\u00dfen<\/a><\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n
\n In order to cope with growing customer requirements and the associated increase in complexity, companies are opening up their value chains, reducing their vertical integration and increasingly entering into collaborations. Cross-company data exchange along the supply chain is thus becoming a key component for competitiveness and the realization of customer-specific solutions. For this reason, the European Union has launched the GAIA-X project, which aims to create the next generation of data infrastructure for Europe and its companies. The GAIA-X maturity model offers an approach for classifying companies into different development stages and provides concrete requirements for further development along a predefined development path towards becoming a fully-fledged participant in the federated GAIA-X data infrastructure. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n With its ability to integrate digital information into the real world, augmented reality (AR) is increasingly becoming a critical success factor when it comes to safe, efficient and human-centered manufacturing. However, the implementation of an AR project poses various challenges that can hinder its ability to succeed. A clear sequence of steps for implementing this technology is therefore essential. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
