Battery assembly - an exemplary workplace from single station assembly to assembly line
Duration: 01.01.2018 bis 31.12.2020

The increasing triumph of electric drives in vehicle construction is leading to further modularization of the components in the e-mobile drivetrain. While the electric drive unit has already been technically optimized over many years, new ground is largely being broken in the area of battery design, both at cell level and in the area of the battery pack. In addition, this is where the greatest product-specific development effort for the e-drive train itself lies. This applies to both the functionality and the design of the battery system component. At the same time, the area of cell development is subject to considerable turbulence. The battery with its electrical/thermal functionality essentially determines the subsequent performance characteristics of the vehicle and represents one of the largest and most uncertain cost blocks. The project addresses the process capability of the components and system designs for the automatability/partial automatability of battery assembly and defines the requirements for a process-stable and assembly cost-optimized product and process design on the basis of fundamental design developments of serviceable traction batteries and their functional structure using the example of our own vehicle developments and the cells used.

E-mobility in automotive engineering - requirements for the production structures of the future
Duration: 01.01.2018 bis 31.12.2020

With the increasing introduction of completely new drive systems in vehicles, the requirements profile for production structures and organizations in automotive engineering is also changing. Previous functional scopes in production systems are becoming obsolete, the modular design of vehicles is being decisively driven forward by the further standardization of the same and completely new functional scopes must be implemented, not least in consideration of cost aspects, without being able to fall back on knowledge bases from the past. All OEMs are faced with the same challenge here, which arises from the new nature of the components in electric powertrains. This includes the process-reliable implementation of requirements and the simultaneous, consistent use of the potential for simplifying production systems resulting from the new vehicle architecture. On the basis of its own e-mobile test vehicles and taking into account the changing supplier structures and in cooperation with vehicle manufacturers, the project defines the adaptation effort for the automobile production of the future for electromobile applications.

Exploitability of influencing variables and actuators for the reduction of throughput times for ring production
Duration: 21.01.2019 bis 31.05.2019

At a leading international manufacturer of large-diameter bearings, the production site is characterized by an increasing proportion of customer production. Particularly in technically/technologically dominated production sections, the classic conflict of objectives arises between adherence to delivery dates (or throughput time) and capacity-oriented machine utilization as influencing variables on production costs and logistical parameters of production. The production process is characterized on the one hand by administrative preparatory work in the sense of technical/technological clarification and on the other hand by the processing that takes place after order release.
The aim of the project is - via an inventory of determining and descriptive factors - to determine influencing factors on the resulting throughput time and to design measures to reduce the average throughput time by analytically penetrating the causes.

Competence in Mobility III
Duration: 01.01.2016 bis 31.12.2018

The use of electric powertrains in future automotive applications leads to a completely new approach to the functional assemblies by systematically rethinking the overall system architecture of the automobile. The internal combustion engine powertrain was a key component in the decades-long development of the current overall automotive system architecture and the production systems derived from it. A clear trend towards the modularization of assemblies is already evident here and is being consistently developed further. The implementation of electric powertrains opens up new design possibilities for the construction of the overall system architecture of the automobile, but also new challenges in the product development process. The increased implementation of module assemblies from system suppliers (battery module, drive module) is leading to a further reduction in in-house production depth. The planning and control of production and assembly systems and the associated development of unique selling points as the remaining core competence in the product development process is inevitably becoming the focus of economic considerations. Ensuring highly flexible and customer-specific assembly processes through the arrangement methods used to date in the production system is increasingly coming up against functional limits that need to be addressed and overcome.
In January 2016, the joint project Competence in Mobility (CoMo) III was launched, in which the IAF is responsible for the complete vehicle sub-project and is in charge of the conception and realization of the electrically powered automotive functional models to be researched. The research objective of the IAF is the analysis, design and organization of production systems for highly modularized electric vehicles. The work is carried out within the cross-institute research group for electromobility Editha.

Test platform for operating strategies for the operation of range extenders / e-mobility: Work package 4 within the project Modular lightweight components for peripheral e-mobility system solutions
Duration: 17.12.2012 bis 31.03.2015

Drive technology in the automotive industry in Germany is currently facing the challenge of replacing conventional combustion technology with a variety of modular and alternative drive concepts. The dramatic diversification of the vehicle and product range in recent years has opened up a further area of application for electromobility in urban areas in particular. In order to tap into these potential fields and areas of application, the project stakeholders involved need an overall conceptual understanding of the interaction between the electric drivetrain and alternative energy supply by means of range extenders to extend the range of electrified vehicles. The medium-term use of range extenders to compensate for range disadvantages will therefore also play a decisive role in the timely progress of electromobility.

The overarching aim of the joint project is to gain insights into the integration and operation of a range extender using the example of a test vehicle. Work package 4 therefore pursues the following objectives: Determination of operating strategies for the use of alternative energy sources, overall design of range extenders under electromobility driving conditions,development of network for electromobility applications,basic design of automotive module carriers.
The knowledge gained forms an important basis for the development of the system components in work packages 1-3 of the joint project and ensures that the requirements for lightweight construction, acoustics and energy management are met. 
The following university partners are involved in the joint project in the four work packages under the project management of Prof. Hermann Rottengruber: WP1: Intake module: IMS (Prof. R, IFME), WP2: Exhaust gas aftertreatment system: (IMS, IFME),WP3: Oil pan: OVGU (IMS, IFME), WP4: Test platform: OVGU-IAF Chair of Factory Operation and Production Systems as coordinator for a team of employees from the Chairs of Design Engineering, Technical Dynamics and Mechatronics

Preliminary study Robust processes - Routines and rules for lead time-optimized order processing in high-tech slewing bearing production
Duration: 01.10.2014 bis 31.12.2014

In a company producing large rolling bearings, a cross-location optimization of the supply chain is to be designed to reduce throughput times. The task here is to generate robust production processes under the given conditions in such a way that, on the basis of a defined material and information flow, idle and storage times are largely avoided and thus an acceleration of order processing with a reduction in circulating stocks can be achieved by influencing internal plant processes to control the material flow. The aim of the project described here is to determine the time components of the supply chain that can be influenced by means of structured, analytical penetration of the processes found and to identify possibilities for reducing the time components according to type and scope, taking into account the associated investments. This project lays the foundation for sustainably influencing the total throughput time of production orders and the associated clear work processes for controlling the material flow.

Innovamergence
Duration: 01.12.2012 bis 30.11.2014

Innovation processes in companies always predominantly describe ex-post processes in order to subsequently provide measuring points and brands (gates) for a rigid controlling system. In reality, however, intensive communication processes take place between units or individuals, which can lead to innovations through new knowledge. All these processes are based on what already exists, so that innovations are generated in many different places, so that we can speak of distributed re-innovation or distributed innovation. These mechanisms, which exist in all organizations or even in inter-company contexts, can be used more effectively in a targeted manner if management is prepared to create the appropriate conditions. To this end, management principles and instruments are developed in international coordination, which provide support particularly in the early phases of innovation (idea generation and invention). The description succeeds via spaces that can be spanned across dimensions. The transition to concrete prototypes, which can be defined more project-related within the framework of movement spaces, is particularly exciting. All considerations are based on the empirical innovation model commonly used at the chair.

Capacity-based network-oriented organizational model for the highly volatile production of roof trusses as a building supply trade
Duration: 01.07.2013 bis 31.12.2013

As a result of increased and qualitatively changed demand for roof constructions for single and multi-family houses, a regional construction-related supplier is faced with the challenge of restructuring its production processes. In order to meet the dynamic requirements of the market, a targeted expansion of the capacities of the company's main technologies is to take place with minimal investment costs for building and operating technology. [The aim is to characterize the future production program on the basis of a well-founded analysis of the product range and customer withdrawal behavior in such a way that a versatile and efficient overall production process is created by supplementing existing production routines. Using selected components of the FacToTuM mobile factory planning workstation, a digital processing of product, equipment and property data was carried out, as a result of which a successively realizable layout concept was developed in terms of a justifiable investment volume. The success of this approach lies in the basic understanding of planning: the IAF planners go on site and check their results at every stage of the planning process for plausibility and correctness in relation to the operational practice. In addition to a considerably accelerated planning process, this approach results in a high level of acceptance of the solution found among the employees. After project completion, the company has a step-by-step plan for successive restructuring and expansion of the plant structure at its disposal, the first practical implementations of which were already being used successfully at the end of the project.

From production site to system provider
Duration: 01.02.2012 bis 31.12.2013

Due to an upcoming expansion investment and against the background of a completely newly developed production range, the overall operational processes in a die-casting lightweight construction company were examined with regard to the integration of future machines and systems into the respective existing production process. The Magdeburg researchers determined the general material flow relationships between the machines and carried out expansion planning of the overall project within a variant planning process in such a way that future options for further growth are also given. The solution found for the expansion planning simultaneously brings together several currently fragmented ancillary areas, resulting in a powerful industrial complex in terms of the production of die-cast lightweight construction. The Magdeburg researchers developed a list of criteria for the systematic selection of a preferred option under the conditions of different alternative tests, one of the characteristics of which was the future viability of the site against the background of the renewing product range. This project was successfully completed within a very short time (6 weeks), not least thanks to the high level of commitment shown by the employees on site.

RoPKu - Robust processes for ball bearing ring production (preliminary project)
Duration: 01.08.2012 bis 31.10.2012

In a production facility for ball bearing rings, the production site is characterized by dominant production equipment, whose capacity utilization and efficiency are the main causes of production costs. Customer production, which has now extended to ring production, gives rise to the classic conflict of objectives between adherence to delivery dates (or throughput time) and utilization-oriented machine allocation as influencing factors on production costs and logistical parameters of production. In addition, as in the present case, the control and intervention logic for the manufacturing process is often historically characterized and thus takes insufficient account of the changing framework conditions. The aim of the project is to record and characterize the functioning of the production system at the present time by means of a detailed inventory of determining and descriptive factors. By comparing market requirements and system-inherent modes of operation, as a result of existing organizational solutions, the design requirements of the future with the respective necessary measures are determined and shown.

Based on the participation of two students, Stefan Lüdecke and Michael Niebuhr, in the WAVE rally (participation of purely electric vehicles) from Paris to Prague in September 2011, a product benchmark of previously used electric vehicles was carried out by the scientific staff of the IAF to bridge the approx. 240 kilometers to be driven per day. Based on the participation of the two students and the benchmark guidelines developed by the IAF staff, both product-related and route-related requirements for the electric vehicles were recorded and the performance represented by the respective use of the vehicles was measured. Against the background of the large number of vehicles used - approx. 50 % of which were test vehicles and approx. 50 % were already usable series vehicles from major manufacturers - it was possible to draw an overall conclusion with regard to current design principles and the battery systems used. Against the background of the vehicles used and the daily requirements demanded by the route, the participating project team was able to draw a conclusion regarding the current suitability of electric vehicles for use. In addition to the average performance of series vehicles, the test vehicles in particular impressed with either particularly good usage qualities and characteristics or special defects that led to quite dramatic restrictions. Against the background of their participation in the aforementioned 14-day tour, the students were able to determine important design and construction aspects for a potential in-house development of an electric vehicle on the basis of the comparative vehicles.

Analysis, evaluation, optimization of energy consumption and energy use in a steel construction company
Duration: 01.02.2011 bis 31.07.2011

Within the "Smart Energy with Smart People" project, 5 industrial sub-projects were carried out at the IAF. The aim of the project was to analyze energy consumption and derive proposals for increasing energy efficiency in small and medium-sized companies. Student project teams were closely involved in the work on site.

The focus of sub-project 4 in a steel construction company specializing in the production of industrial halls was characterized by the fact that it highlighted only limited possibilities for energy savings through more efficient technical systems on the one hand and through factory organizational influence with regard to the efficient use of energy on the other. It was noted that the company's relatively high energy consumption made it a very interesting energy consumer. In the summary of several projects in the region, it was agreed that the possibility of pooling (combining energy purchases) should be examined in the fall of 2011 in order to create a supply network of energy-intensive companies. In view of the increased energy consumption, this could lead to high potential savings in energy procurement. At the same time, it became apparent that operational organizational influences are of a fundamental nature if disproportionate savings effects are to be tapped. Following the new organizational concept, heating costs were reduced by around 30 %.

Analysis, evaluation and optimization in the manufacture of welded constructions
Duration: 01.02.2011 bis 31.07.2011

Within the "Smart Energy with Smart People" project, 5 industrial sub-projects were carried out at the IAF. The project objective was to analyze energy consumption and derive proposals for increasing energy efficiency in small and medium-sized companies. Student project teams were closely involved in the work on site.

The focus of sub-project 3 in a production facility for welded constructions was the characterization of the production organization with regard to its influence on energy consumption as a combination of the individual means of production and the deployment of employees with regard to the reduction and sustainable use of energy in the company. In this respect, the production system itself was subjected to a qualitative analysis of the processes in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

In the course of the project, measures for factory organizational change options were proposed to the company, most of which are redundant with energy-saving options. In a further step, a comprehensive discussion and implementation of the operational organizational model is required.

Analysis, evaluation and optimization of energy consumption - With new production organization to energy-optimized production
Duration: 01.02.2011 bis 31.07.2011

Within the "Smart Energy with Smart People" project, 5 industrial sub-projects were carried out at the IAF. The project objective was to analyze energy consumption and derive proposals for increasing energy efficiency in small and medium-sized companies. Student project teams were closely involved in the work on site.

Sub-project 2 in the production of welded components and structural elements for the construction industry focused on two key areas:

    • Revision of the production organization for the optimal arrangement of operating resources and workstations for optimal energy use
    • Determination of technical possibilities for the efficient use of energy in production
    • [Due to the limited available meaningful data on energy consumption (global recording) within the production and office building with regard to the processes and the existing production layout with its production control, it was necessary to carry out a series of surveys within the project in order to achieve a planning-capable state within production. Measures for a 25% energy saving were proposed to the company. The planned implementation of the target layout was already completed by the end of August, so that in addition to an energy assessment and optimization of production, it was also possible to successfully implement a change in production technology and organization for the entire company. The employees were involved during the process, which resulted in a high level of awareness regarding the use of energy in the company.This text was translated with DeepL

Analysis of energy consumption and derivation of proposals for increasing energy efficiency in an existing production system
Duration: 01.02.2011 bis 31.07.2011

Within the "Smart Energy with Smart People" project, 5 industrial sub-projects were carried out at the IAF. The project objective was to analyze energy consumption and derive proposals for increasing energy efficiency in small and medium-sized companies. Student project teams were closely involved in the work on site.

The focus of sub-project 1 - powder coating plant components and units - was on reducing the generation of process heat, which accounts for well over 50% of the final energy consumption in the company in question. The technical and technological boundary conditions for the operation of the plant currently provide for the waste heat to be predominantly discharged into the environment. Within the project, approaches were developed to rethink the main focus on main material flow, inventory minimization and minimum investment, and to consider operating costs when selecting a suitable system or its components (so-called life cycle costs).

In addition to the conception of basic solution approaches to exploit the savings potential identified, the manufacturing parameters that ensure the smooth operation of the machines and systems were taken into account when deriving implementation measures. Interventions in these production-sensitive processes were weighed against the potential energy savings identified.

SMART ENERGY WITH SMART PEOPLE - Modeling
Duration: 01.02.2011 bis 31.07.2011

A sustainable influence on energy processes in production is a major challenge for many operational players in the near future. Against the background of the perception of a dramatic price development for electrical energy, a sustainable influence on the use of electrical energy and heat appears to be necessary.
From the point of view of the researchers at the IAF, investment-driven changes to existing technical solutions are only of limited use, particularly for highly flexible SMEs, as they can very often distract from a different view of existing production structures.

Based on five industrial sub-projects on smart energy with smart people and the knowledge gained, the IAF has developed a set of tools for the energy-oriented evaluation, planning and design of production systems.

By means of selected analysis methods, their combinatorics, an energetic evaluation of the manufacturing processes used and the quality of energy recording, the entire production system can be evaluated with regard to its energy efficiency using the toolkit. This set of tools is essentially geared towards the most practicable use in SMEs.

Fast reacting picking by optimizing communication density
Duration: 01.08.2010 bis 30.06.2011

For a production area for complex outdoor advertising for a Global Player of the petrol industry as well as a number of restaurant chains a considerable vertical range of manufacture in combination with an assured availability of parts as well as a short-term reaction on customer requirements with coexistent decrease of the necessary expenses has to be guaranteed.
Analysis of the customer-driven picking area revealed that just material flow optimization would not result in the performance features aimed at. Besides the logical assignment of the stock items to customer groups, intelligent communication paths, communication flows and communication densities were identified as the key instruments to meet all requirements set by the packaging department management. Based on evaluations of communication flows and communication densities, labour processes were reorganized along the material and communication flows. Additionally functional areas were newly dimensioned and allocated as input for the newly designed layout that has been implemented.

Smart energy for hot processes
Duration: 01.08.2010 bis 31.10.2010

Vor dem Hintergrund sich verknappender Ressourcen werden bei der Bewertung von Produktionssystemen ressourcenseitige oder im Spezialfall auch energetische Betrachtungen immer wichtiger. Untersuchungen in der Produktion unterschiedlichster Schrauben großer Abmessungen standen im Mittelpunkt des Projektes. Gemeinsam mit den betrieblichen Akteuren wurden die betrieblichen Abläufe analysiert. Auf der Basis der vorhandenen Gegebenheiten wurden grundlegende Betrachtungen zur angewandten Technologie sowie zum betriebsorganisatorischen Konzept, welches die bestimmenden Randbedingungen der betrieblichen Anlagen darstellt, erhoben und bewertet. Neben der Entwicklung und Anwendung eines Energie-Sankey-Diagramms zur Lokalisierung und qualitativen Bestimmung energieintensiver Prozesse, wurden diese vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer Einbindung in das bestehende materialfluss- und informationstechnische System "Fabrik" charakterisiert. Auf der Basis dieses systematischen Vorgehens der Fabrikplanung aus der fabrikökologischen Sicht wurden dann entsprechend des Pareto-Vorgehens grundlegende Möglichkeiten eruiert und Maßnahmen abgeleitet. Diese bewirken eine Erhöhung der entsprechenden Energieeffizienz insgesamt. Generell kann festgestellt werden, dass die bisherigen energetischen Erfassungssysteme in den Unternehmen eine einzelne Bewertung von Prozessschritten oder Maschinen und Anlagen erschweren. Ursache dessen ist die energetische Infrastruktur, besonders bei bereits länger bestehenden Fabriken, welche häufig eine verursachungsgerechte Einzelerfassung und Ausweisung von Verbräuchen nicht zulassen. In diesem Falle hat sich die bilanzielle Betrachtung mittels Eingangs- und technologischen Messdaten sowie die Erfassung der energetischen Ausgangsdaten (Produkt, Maschine, Abprodukt und weitere) als hinreichend genau erwiesen, um qualitative Aussagen treffen zu können. Auf der Basis dieser Ergebnisse kann dann, durch Reflexion der Beeinflussbarkeit der jeweiligen qualitativen Bestandteile ein Maßnahmenplan entwickelt werden. Dieser kann neben den prinzipiellen Möglichkeiten zur Erschließung auch die energetischen Einsparungspotenziale abschätzen. Mit dieser Grundlage ist es möglich, begründet durch die jeweiligen Einsparungen, die Maßnahmen wirtschaftlich zu bewerten und damit in die betriebliche Praxis zu überführen.

Hybride 3-D-Modelle - der Weg zur Digitalen Fabrik für den Mittelstand
Duration: 01.12.2007 bis 31.12.2009

Die Digitale Fabrik, als Umsetzung konsequenter IT-Nutzung in der Fabrik, ist seit Jahren zentraler Ansatzpunkt innovativer Planer. Neben hoher Datenverfügbarkeit und Aktualität beschleunigt sich dabei vor allem der Fabrikplanungsprozess. Bei der Anwendung innovativer Planungsinstrumente zeigt sich jedoch, dass unterschiedliche und meist sehr heterogene Datenbestände als Eingangsgrößen für den Planungsprozess in den Unternehmen vorliegen. Insbesondere der Mittelstand stößt bei der Aufbereitung dieser Datenbestände häufig an zeitliche und vor allem kapazitive Grenzen. Mit dem Einsatz moderner Erfassungssysteme, wie dem LaserScanner der Firma FARO, sind Planer mittels 3-D-Scans in kürzester Zeit in der Lage, Bestandserfassung von Produktionssystemen durchzuführen. Die Technik ist hocheffizient und kann ohne Beeinträchtigung bei laufender Produktion grundlegende Layoutdaten und 3-D-Modelle vorhandener Maschinen erfassen. In der Praxis zeigte sich jedoch, dass Fabrikplaner häufig die vektorformatigen verwendungsfähigen Grunddaten für die Planungsaktivitäten erst schaffen müssen. Hierbei gilt, je höher die Datengenauigkeit, desto expotential höher der Aufwand und die benötigte Zeit.
Während beim Einsatz innovativer Scan-Technologien die physische Datenbeschaffung sehr gut gelöst ist (Erfassung der 3-D-Layout als Punktwolken), bleibt nach wie vor der zeitbestimmende Faktor für die Fabrikplanung die Datenaufbereitung. Die Magdeburger Forscher des IAF haben hierzu neben einem bisher kaum beschritten Weg, der Nutzung hybrider Daten je nach fabrikplanerischem Bedarf (level of detail), den Einsatz eines VR-Modellers zur Datenrückführung erprobt, welcher auf der Basis erfasster Punktwolken in der Lage ist, Datenrückführungen in Vektorformate durch Nutzung gemessener 3-D-Punkte zu ermöglichen. Hierbei wird auf die prinzipielle Kubatur der zu betrachtenden Objekte abgestellt, ein VR-fähiges, hinreichend genaues Modell für die Optimierung von Produktionssystemen erstellt. Mit diesem sind die Planer in der Lage, nach vorgegebenen Zielfunktionen (z.B. Minimierung der Investitionskosten, etc.) komplette Fabrikplanungen in kürzester Zeit durchzuführen. Mit fortschreitendem Planungsgeschehen steigt dann in aller Regel der Genauigkeitsbedarf der Daten. Die in groben Planungsphasen verwendeten Grundkubaturen können dann durch die Verbindung zur genauen Datenerfassung (beispielsweise die Punktwolke, oder 3-D-Konstruktion des Lieferanten) fallspezifisch ergänzt werden. So gelingt es, bedarfsgerechte, genaue und flüssige Darstellung zu jedem Zeitpunkt des Planungsgeschehens der Produktionssysteme auf vorhandener transportabler EDV-Technik zu ermöglichen. Am Beispiel der Planung eines Produktionssystems für eine Dachstuhlfertigung konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass ca. ein Drittel der Erfassungsaufwände vermieden werden konnten. Der Planungsprozess vom Planungsanstoß bis zur Bauübergabe wurde von ca. 6-8 Wochen auf 4-6 Wochen reduziert.

Layoutplanung eines hybriden Fertigungssystems zur Reintegration von Kernprozessen
Duration: 01.05.2009 bis 31.07.2009

Über die Bewertung von Kernkompetenzen zu Kernprozessen zu finden, fordert letztendlich auch deren wirtschaftliche Integration in die bestehende Fertigung. Gemeinsam mit einem Global Player des Anlagenbaues aus der Region wurden wesentliche technologische Kernkompetenzen für den zukünftigen Fertigungsstandort evaluiert und mittels Turbo-Fabrikplanungssystem "Factotum" auf Realisierbarkeit geprüft. Auf Grundlage des extrem gestrafften Planungsprozesses unter Anwendung neuester alternativer Methoden gelang es innerhalb kürzester Zeiten, detaillierte Aussagen zur Umsetzung zu erhalten, so dass der Kooperations- und Forschungspartner zeitnah an die Realisierung des Fertigungssystems gehen konnte. Die Nutzung neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse führte damit nicht nur zur methodischen Erweiterung und Straffung fabrikplanerischer Vorgehensweisen, sondern bewirkte hier eine zügige und sichere Entscheidungsfindung für den Ausbau der Fertigungskapazitäten.

Monitoring and Control of Concurrent Innovation (CI)
Duration: 01.10.2006 bis 31.12.2008

Powered by strong success visions, extremely efficient self-organised innovation processes may emerge outside of organizational boundaries and across conventional hierarchies. The more such innovation networks expand, the more pressing is the need for a shared sense of trust, reciprocity, informality and community among members. Only on this base, organizational efforts can be focused on the learning processes, the acquisition of new insights and additional knowledge. Although Concurrent Innovation is increasing chances and lowering the risks for all partners, the processes involved are complex and depend on grown experiences on the field. The crucial trust base between the partners will erode if transparency of the processes, the learning progresses, or the motivation of partners are lacking. Learning through collaboration and effective self-organization absolutely requires that the network has a window on the partners capabilities and assets, which is provided by the subsequent monitoring and control procedure.  A procedure for Monitoring and Control of Innovation in Networks is derived as follows:

    • Description of the collaboration and the objectives to go for
    • Decomposition and Analysis of the Innovation object attributes for market performance
    • Skills/Competency profiles for market- und co-operation requirements Technologies/Competencies in line with the phases of Innovation (stage wise)
    • Enumeration of the specific and total attractiveness of the collaboration object
    • Check of utility / effort ratio for all partners and all phases, expressed in linkage intensities
    • Initiation of corrective actions if and where needed. Issue resolution and escalation support.
    • Evaluation
    The information provided may be used to cover all specifics for a distinct innovation object in a COIN (Collaborative Innovation Network) and, moreover, to support benchmarking of other concurrent innovations, allowing to gain more experience in e.g. early detecting risky constellations or in reliably forecasting chances of success.   Another important step on the way to a Concurrent Innovation Base of Knowledge (CI_BoK) that had been initiated by a framework for Small and Medium Sized Extended Enterprises and ESoCEpedia http://www.ami-communities.eu/wiki/ESoCEpedia as the proper CI terminology for the CE community: http://www.esoce.net/. If innovation network members continuously evaluate their performances, monitoring and control of innovation processes will make collaborative activities more efficient and strengthen the trust bases at long term. The attributes to be monitored can be reduced to a small set of Key Innovation Indicators (KII) allowing the control of COINs. Moreover the collection, the accumulation and the systematisation of these indicators, observed in Concurrent Innovation processes, may eventually pile up considerable CI experience and result in a Base of Knowledge for the support effective and efficient CI processes.

3D-Datenerfassung und -rückführung wesentlicher Produktionseinrichtungen
Duration: 28.04.2008 bis 31.07.2008

Die Carcoustics GmbH mit Sitz in Haldensleben plante im Jahre 2008 eine Produktionserweiterung. Als direkter Zulieferer für VW und Audi gestalteten sich die Absatzmengen 2008 so, dass eine Erweiterung unumgänglich wurde. Aus der Historie heraus lag der Carcoustics GmbH ein 2D-Layout vor, was jedoch in Anbetracht der verfahrenstechnisch dominierten Anlagen nicht hinreichend genau für die Einplanung neuer Maschinen war. Das IAF wurde beauftragt in einem einmonatigem Projekt die Datengrundlage für die Einplanung neuer Anlagen zu schaffen. Unter Nutzung der Scantechnologie der FARO GmbH stellten die Mitarbeiter des IAFs bei einer ersten Begehung einen Messplan auf und führten an einem produktionsfreien Tag den Scan der Produktionshalle durch. Innerhalb von nur 6 Stunden lag das Messergebnis der gesamten Halle vor, das als Grundlage für die Maschinenanordnung ausreichend war. Auf Basis derlaufenden Forschungsarbeiten zur Umsetzung von gescannten Modellen in vektororientierte Grafikmodelle erfolgte dann die Datenrückführung, die innerhalb kürzester Zeit abgeschlossen werden konnte. Dafür setzte das IAF die adaptive Nutzung von Modellbibliotheken ein, die in aller Regel hinreichend genau für fabrikplanerische Anordnungsverfahren sind. Bei den klassischen Methoden wie Rückführung mittels algorithmische Triangulation sowie klassisches Nachzeichnen durch Punkt- undFlächenerkennung gilt, dass der Nachbearbeitungsaufwand von gescannten Modellen für solche Datenrückführungen ein Aufwandsverhältnis von 1:10 (1 Stunde Scan zu mindestens 10 Stunden Rückführungsarbeitsaufwand) beinhalteten. Durch die Anwendung einer umfangreich vorhandenen Modellbibliothek am IAF konnte dieser Aufwand um 75% verringert werden, so dass das Aufwandsverhältnis derzeit ca. 1:2,5 beträgt. Dadurch wird das aus der Messtechnik stammende Verfahren des dreidimensionalen Scannens auch für Fabrikplaner interessant. Auf Basis der geliefertenDaten konnte Carcoustics die Erweiterungsplanung 2008 in kürzester Zeit vornehmen und bis Jahresende umsetzen.

Informations- und Kommunikationsbeziehungen als Gestaltungsparameter von Produktionssystemen
Duration: 01.07.2004 bis 30.06.2008

Die Verkürzung von Produktlebenszeiten als Ausgangspunkt für sich immer schneller wandelnde Produktionssysteme stellt die Praktiker vor die Aufgabe, effiziente Produktionssysteme innerhalb kürzester Zeiten konzeptionell zu planen und vor allem zu realisieren. Größtenteils stehen solche Planungsprozesse unter enormen Zeitdruck und in aller Regel fehlen eine ganze Reihe notwendiger Planungsinformationen. Gerade für den Mittelstand stellt deshalb der Rückgriff auf planerisch verwendbares Erfahrungswissen der Mitarbeiter eine nicht zu unterschätzende Wissensbasis für die kurzfristige Erarbeitung von Produktionskonzepten dar. Begründet auf mathematischen Grundverfahren der Anordnungsoptimierung durch die Minimierung von Transportleistungen in Produktionssystemen sind erweiterte Kriterien zur Berücksichtigung praxisrelevanter Gegebenheiten bei der Planung umsetzungsfähiger Layoutkonzepte notwendig. Betriebliche Prozessabläufe beruhen auf dem Austausch von Informationen und der Kommunikation über deren Inhalte. Unternehmen des klein- und mittelständischen Sektors haben die Bedeutung der Gestaltung ihrer Informations- und Kommunikationsbeziehungen (IuK) als "mission critical" erkannt. Der personengebundene Austausch von Informationen gilt bei vielen Unternehmen gerade als Voraussetzung von Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit betrieblicher Prozessabläufe. Eine Kurze-Wege-Mentalität ist dabei auffällig. Aufgrund der Vielschichtigkeit der Begriffe Information und Kommunikation und deren jeweilige Bedeutung war im Laufe der Untersuchungen eine Eingrenzung des Untersuchungs- und Anwendungsfeldes notwendig. Als Fokus dient schlussendlich die Frage: Ist eine bestimmte Nähe zwischen den Arbeitsplätzen eines Produktionsbereiches aufgrund der spezifischen Eigenschaft ihrer IuK-Beziehungen (z.B. direkte Sprachkommunikation) notwendig? Ein vorläufiges Ergebnis der Forschungsarbeiten stellt der Kommunikationskennwert als Wichtungsgrad layoutrelevanter IuK-Beziehungen dar. Die Wichtigkeit einer IuK-Beziehung bestimmt sich über die Parameter "Informationsgehalt", "Übertragungszeit" und "Kommunikationshäufigkeit", deren formale Beschreibung Ziel der laufenden Arbeiten ist. In einem ersten Anwendungsszenario wurde bei der idealen Layoutplanung des Produktionsbereiches eines Maschinenbauunternehmens die Entfernungsabhängigkeit der IuK-Beziehungen bei direkter Sprachkommunikation integriert. Als Stellvertretergröße der Entfernungsabhängigkeit dient die Abnahme des Sprachschallpegels über die Sender-Empfänger-Entfernung bei einem mittleren Störgeräuschspegel im Produktionsbereich.

Materialfluss- und kommunikationsorientierte Erweiterungsplanung für einen Bauzulieferer
Duration: 01.07.2005 bis 30.09.2005

Für einen baunahen Zulieferer komplexer Produkte wurde für die Fertigung eine wandlungsfähige und effiziente Gestaltungslösung geplant und mittels VR-Werkzeugen zu einer bauseitig weiter zu verfolgenden Lösung umgesetzt. Bei der Gestaltung des Fertigungslayouts waren Gestaltungsprämissen moderner Produktionskonzepte, wie übersichtliche und transparente Material- und Kommunikationsflüsse, als lösungsbestimmte Optima der neuen Fertigung umzusetzen. Die Layoutplanung erfolgte mit dem am IAF entwickelten Werkzeug FACTOTUM unter Anwendung einer kommunikationsorientierten Optimierung der Maschinenaufstellung zur Bewältigung marktdynamischer Einflüsse auf die Fertigungsorganisation. Das Ziel des Vorhabens war es, in kürzester Zeit (ca. 8 Wochen) eine analytisch fundierte Lösung für eine neue Fertigungsorganisation zu finden, partizipativ weiter zu verfolgen und zu verankern und damit den dynamischen Anforderungen des Marktes unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten gerecht zu werden. Dabei steht die Erarbeitung eines optimierten Fertigungslayouts als Basis der dann weiter zu führenden Bauplanung im Vordergrund.

FACTOTUM-mobil
Duration: 01.07.2002 bis 31.12.2004

"Erweiterung des Fabrikplanungsarbeitsplatzes FacToTuM um partizipative Elemente mobiler Gestaltung von Produktionssystemen in Verbindung mit dem Einsatz von virtueller Realität"Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und der zukünftige Erfolg von klein und mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMUs) hängt mehr und mehr von der Fähigkeit ab, sich zu wandeln, d. h. permanent und zielgerichtet Umfeldanforderungen und Unternehmensleistung abzugleichen. Damit steigen die Anforderungen an schnellstmögliche Konzeption, wirtschaftlichen Anlauf und effizienten Betrieb von Produktionssystemen, wobei sich die zur Verfügung gestellten Planungszeiträume reduzieren. Die Virtual-Reality-Umgebung ermöglicht das (dreidimensionale) Erleben eines zu planenden Produktionssystems. Der Betrachter kann die Anlage betreten ("Walkthrough") und innerhalb der virtuellen Welt interagieren. Die Aussicht, VR-Technologien mobil machen zu können, um ortsungebunden die Vorteile für die Fabrikplanung zu erschließen, ist mit Blick auf die sich immer mehr verflechtende I&KStruktur bereits viel versprechend. Mit dem am IAF entwickelten Arbeitsplatz FACTOTUM (FACtory Tool- and Tuning Master) liegt eine durchgängige planungsunterstützende Lösung vor, die als geeignete Ausgangsplattform für Entwicklungen in dieser Richtung dienen kann. Der dort implementierte Funktionsumfang soll gezielt ausgebaut und methodisch erweitert werden, damit er bei dezentral verteilten Planungs-/ Gestaltungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen in der Fabrikplanung Einsatz finden kann. Hierzu werden alle wichtigen Bausteine der bestehenden Lösung auf eine leistungsfähige neutrale Plattform gehoben, so dass einer verteilten Mehrplatz-Arbeitsweise entsprochen wird sowie eine leistungsfähige Synthese aus empirisch/erfahrungsgeleitetem Planen und mathematisch/ formalen Planungsroutinen entsteht. Die Erweiterung des Arbeitsplatzes FACTOTUM betrifft vorrangig die softwaretechnische Integration von Routinen/Programmteilen wie:- Module zur Unterstützung von Entscheidungsprozessen bei nicht eindeutigen oder nur empirisch vorhandenen Erfahrungswelten- Lösungen zur Dezentralisierung der Visualisierung- Integration von Projektmanagementwerkzeugen zur Abrundung der Funktionalität.

KORAMA - Instrument zum erfolgreichen Führen langfristig funktionierender Kooperationsverbände
Duration: 01.11.1999 bis 31.07.2001

Die Kooperationsforschung entwickelt sich nur langsam und parallel zu den Bedürfnissen der Unternehmenskooperationen. Anfangs lag das Hauptaugenmerk auf Kooperationsbörsen und die Unterstützung in der Anbahnungsphase durch Kammern, Verbände und sogenannte Auftragsbroker. Das verbundbegleitende Kooperationsmanagement ist hingegen methodisch noch nicht sehr ausgereift. Hier setzt KORAMA an. Ziel ist die Entwicklung eines Instruments zur Unterstützung und des Controllings für die Wachstums- und Reifephase von Kooperationsverbünden.^aIn der Vorbereitungs- und der ersten Projektphase konnten bereits zahlreiche Klein- und Kleinstunternehmen aus der Anwenderzielgruppe für eine Zusammenarbeit gewonnen werden. Gemeinsam wurden Anforderungen an Art und Umfang des Instrumentariums systematisiert. Trotz unterschiedlicher Unternehmensgröße, unterschiedlicher Verbundgröße, unterschiedlicher Branche und Region konnten zahlreiche Gemeinsamkeiten festgestellt werden. Besonders auffällig sind vergleichbare Anforderungen an Entscheidungskriterien, Entscheidungsalgorithmen und Verteilungsschlüssel für Verantwortung und Gewinn. Insbesondere letzteres sind keine einmalig in der Gründungsphase festzulegende Regeln, sondern dynamische, stark den sich ändernden Randbedingungen unterworfene Entscheidungen. Die im Projektverlauf herausgearbeiteten Kooperationsmerkmale haben vordergründig beschreibenden und klassifizierenden Charakter. Im Laufe des Projektfortschritts wurden diese zu einem Indikatorgerüst für das Management des Kooperationsprozesses verdichtet.

INTECH-OST (Vorprojekt) - Intelligente Techniknutzung in ostdeutschen Unternehmen des Maschinenbaus
Duration: 01.03.1997 bis 31.01.1998

Die grundlegende Schwäche vieler ostdeutscher Unternehmen, so läßt sich der aktuelle Forschungsstand zusammenfassen, liegt offenkundig nicht in Defiziten einer "intelligenten" Nutzung vorhandener Technik. Generelles Ziel des geplanten Vorhabens soll es deshalb sein, im Verbund einer Gruppe von ostdeutschen Unternehmen und Forschungsinstituten: - Wege zur Überwindung dieser Defizite intelligenter Techniknutzung zu erkunden und exemplarisch zu beschreiten und - hiermit in der industriellen Praxis bewährte, robuste Lösungen zu entwickeln, die dann auch von anderen ostdeutschen Unternehmen ohne unvertretbares Risiko übernommen werden können. Im Mittelpunkt des Vorhabens soll das im Expertenkreis "Zukunftsstrategien" entwickelte Konzept der "weichen" Strategieressourcen stehen, die eine unverzichtbare Ergänzung zum Einsatz hochentwickelter Produkt- und Verfahrenstechnik und zu hoher technischer Innovationskompetenz sind.
