Kurzfassung
Die Qualifizierung von Mitarbeitern ist ein kontinuierlicher Prozess, der nicht mit der Ausbildung oder einem Studium abgeschlossen ist. Gerade in der aktuellen Situation müssen sich Unternhemen an sich schnell verändernde Rahmenbedingungen anpassen, um im Wettbewerb zu bestehen. Dabei werden auch die Mitarbeiter mit der Herausforderung neuer Prozesse und Aufgabenfelder konfrontiert. Im Bereich der Produktionsplanung kommt dabei der Arbeitsvorbereitung als Schnittstelle zwischen der Produktentwicklung, der Produktion und Logistik sowie den angrenzenden Bereichen eine bedeutende Rolle zu. Die Qualifizierung der Mitarbeiter in diesem Bereich erweist sich als ein wesentlicher Faktor, um die Produktion stets am optimalen Betriebspunkt zu halten. In der Lernfabrik advanced Industrial Engineering wurde ein Konzept entwickelt, um die Mitarbeiter mit Methoden und Werkzeugen auf diese Herausforderungen vorzubereiten.
Constantly changing business conditions require a high level of flexibility in business processes as well as an adaptive and fully interoperable IT infrastructure in today’s manufacturing environments. The lack of flexibility prevents manufacturing companies from improving their responsiveness and adapting their workflows to turbulent scenarios. In order to achieve highly flexible and adaptive workflows, information systems in digital factories and shop floors need to be integrated. The most challenging problem in such manufacturing environments is the high heterogeneity of the IT landscape, where the integration of legacy systems and information silos has led to chaotic architectures over the last two decades. In order to overcome this issue, the authors present a flexible integration platform that allows a loose coupling of distributed services in event-driven manufacturing environments. The proposed approach enables a flexible communication between digital factory and shop floor components by introducing a service bus architecture. This solution integrates an application-independent canonical message format for manufacturing events, content-based routing and transformation services as well as event processing workflows.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations 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.
