“…However, even though digital technologies are taking hold in today's manufacturing environment, it seems that the understanding of a digital transformation as a sociotechnical system is immature [28], and that companies lack an understanding and practical experience of handling a situation that needs to encompass both technological and social factors [7]. Currently, it appears that the conventional belief suggesting that a higher level of digital initiatives requires less human interaction is misdirecting practitioners on the shop floor, as it currently seems to be the case that the technological factors are playing the central role [29]. However, although the technological factors are receiving great attention, practitioners are experiencing several technical hindrances when it comes to a digital transformation of the shop floor VBs.…”

The future of manufacturing is happening. Today’s cyber technologies allow real-time visual control of various production processes in manufacturing through the intelligent utilisation of data. Having access to knowledge is power. Providing shop floor practitioners with the opportunity to gain and share knowledge across boundaries in manufacturing in the right way at the right time is a prerequisite to doing a proper job controlling a production line. Carrying out shop floor operations without visual control leads to actions performed in blindness based on gut-feeling decision-making and is often prone to errors. This paper investigates a practical problem of securing knowledge integration across production units on the shop floor and managerial stakeholders via a digital visualisation tool (a visualisation board (VB)). The study constitutes an instrumental case study and follows a transdisciplinary engineering process, outlining a collaborative approach with practitioners across various disciplines in a large manufacturing company in the Renewable Energy sector. The findings illustrate an unsuccessful approach to designing and deploying a digital VB. The paper’s contribution is a set of lessons learned from an unsuccessful attempt that highlights the importance of socio-technical solutions to digital transformations as opposed to purely technical solutions.

Die Weiterentwicklung des Shopfloor Managements (SFM) durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung in der Produktion stellt viele Unternehmen vor große Herausforderungen. Vielen Unternehmen fehlt eine Orientierungshilfe für den Digitalisierungs- und Transformationsprozess. Es bedarf eines Reifegradmodells, welches die Digitalisierung des SFM in den Unternehmen unterstützt. Mithilfe der Einordnung in das Reifegradmodell kann den Unternehmen eine Orientierung gegeben werden, Maßnahmen auf dem Weg zum Zielzustand des digitalen SFM zu bestimmen. Der Beitrag stellt neben dem Reifegradmodell auch Studienergebnisse deutscher Unternehmen dar, welche an der Reifegradeinordnung teilgenommen haben.
