VILAGE Virtueller Layoutgestalter

Fur viele Entwurfe im Bereich Gestaltung und Design werden aufwendige Modelle des zukunftigen Objekts erstellt. Selbst kleine Modifikationen im Entwurf fuhren oft zu zeitraubenden und teuren Anderungen am Modell oder zu einer kompletten Neuanfertigung. Auch bleiben die meisten Modelle — speziell im Bereich der Innen- und Ausenarchitektur — durch ihre masstabliche Verkleinerung weit hinter der Wirklichkeit zuruck.

CIA-tool: a tool for cooperative-interactive planning in virtual environments

Abstract In many planning tasks the planning specialist sooner or later is confronted with the necessity of presenting his/her design to the future user and perhaps altering the design, if necessary. In the ideal case the iterative planning process should be carried out interactively with the user to fundamentally reduce the duration of each step in the iterative planning spiral. A further advantage of such a mutual cooperation between planer and user in a design would be a reduction of costs, an advantage rarely separated from a shortened project duration. In addition, one has the possibility to more quickly evaluate various variants of the design. This approach has been partially applied in a prototype for the planning of rooms, [1] one in which the main focus of the planning was on the interactive aspects and less focus was placed on the conception of the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). A reason for this was the deficiency in the quality and quantity of the necessary hardware, as well as the unsolved problems of integrating several VR-devices within an application. Through a strategic allience with the British firm Division, which also includes the common development of new software packages, the realization of most of the concepts of the Cooperative-Interactive Application Tool (CIA-Tool) were made possible. The possibilities of the CIA-Tool with an application such as interior design were already established in 1993 ([2], [3]).

Production Planning and Control Systems: Breakage in Connectivity: Make them fit to fit altering conditions

Since the rise of production planning and control systems those systems were subject to changes and further development due to new requirements and possibilities. This necessitates to continuously keep track of current requirements and to guarantee that they are fulfilled. In this paper upcoming requirements in the context of Industry 4.0 and especially the cloud manufacturing paradigm have been elaborated on production planning and control systems. It could be shown that current realizations do not fulfil these demands, especially not connectivity demands striven by the fourth industrial revolution. From this finding several requirements for an up to date production planning and control system are derived.

A data model for data gathering from heterogeneous IoT and Industry 4.0 applications

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) offers the opportunity to gain a detailed insight into the current production process by means of an increased networking of production plants. This crosslinking makes it possible to record the entire state of a production plant and to trace it within a later analysis. The aim of this analysis is to optimize the monitored production process resulting from analyses of I4.0 value-adding services [1, 2]. Figure 1 schematically visualizes the information flow for such a scenario. Data from the various levels of production are collected, stored in a data storage facility and evaluated by a valueadding service pipeline. The results are integrated back into the production process as optimizations. In this work, first the requirements for such a value-adding service pipeline are determined, which results in a total of five requirements and is abbreviated with R1 to R5. Subsequently, a suitable system architecture from the Big Data area is selected in order to meet the previously established requirements and thus implement a value-adding service pipeline. The requirements R1 - R5 and the system architecture will then flow into a data model for data acquisition and transmission within the shop floor of the production.

Microservice-oriented master control for AGV in the automotive factory of the future

Nowadays, industrial production is characterized in many areas by automated and machine manufacturing processes. Manpower is used when the complexity is high and the use is economically sustainable [1]. Procurement is often carried out statically, which can lead to waiting times for machines at high capacity utilization [2]. Due to the increasing variety of products, rapid technology changes and highly dynamic sales markets, there is a need to make static production processes more dynamic [3]. The research of „Industrie 4.0“ (I4.0) is based on the demand for increasing dynamic of industrial production [3]. One task in I4.0 is the generation of a complex network of plants, machines and people, in the industrial production of the future [4]. In control engineering, central control systems are used to enable intelligent communication between plants and machines. The goal is to create intelligent production.

The possibilities of virtual reality (VR) in connection with the state of the art diagnosis procedure of computer tomography (CT) provides new dimensions in regards to the visualization of organs as well as the various interaction possibilities with the visualized models.

CIA-Tool: Kooperativinteraktives Planen in virtuellen Räumen

In many planning tasks the planning specialist sooner or later is confronted with the necessity of presenting his/her design to the future user and altering the design if necessary. In the ideal case the iterative planning process should be carried out interactively with the user to essential reduce the duration of each step in the iterative planning spiral. Further advantages of such a general cooperation between planer and user in a design would be the reduction of costs which nearly is inseperable from the shortening of the time duration. In addition, there is the possiblity to more quickly evaluate various varients of the design.
