We introduce a framework for distributed or colocated teams to collaborate highly efficiently using diverse mobile devices for design and assessment of complex systems. Our framework enhances the efficiency of collaborations arising in design, simulation or data analysis, including visualization. First, we investigate which requirements on such a collaboration framework exist and which influences between task models have to be taken into account; afterwards we transfer those findings into a prototypical system. The devices provide three views of data to be processed collaboratively: (1) a simulation view; (2) a status report view; and (3) a status update view. These views serve the purpose of providing overview, detail and performance views. A smart watch view shows at-a-glance information, the environment or the process being inspected, possibly influenced by a user. Users can use their mobile devices as control interfaces. The framework is especially effective for combining the synergis- tic, complementary competencies of a team. We describe the design of our framework and discuss specific applications.
Kurzfassung
Die produzierende Industrie ist der wichtigste Wirtschaftsfaktor in Deutschland. Um global wettbewerbsf盲hig zu bleiben, setzt die deutsche Bundesregierung auf das Zukunftsprojekt Industrie 4.0. In Zukunft soll die Industrie energieeffizienter arbeiten, die Produktion gesteigert werden und Kundenw眉nsche individuell befriedigt werden. Ein Schritt in diese Richtung ist die in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte Methode der Fertigungsauftragsabarbeitung.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
