Diese ist von volatilen Marktbedingungen und hohem Wettbewerb gepr{\"a}gt [1][2]. Kleine und mittlere produzierende Unternehmen (sogenannte KMU) sehen zunehmend gravierende Probleme bei der Einhaltung von Lieferterminen bedingt durch hohe Durchlaufzeiten in der Produktion [3]. Neben kaufm{\"a}nnischen Planungssystemen zur Erstellung von Produktionspl{\"a}nen nutzen Unternehmen als Planungsgrundlage weiterhin Excel mit 31 \% und manuelle Prozesse mit 10 \% [4]. Gleiches gilt f{\"u}r Produktwechselvorg{\"a}nge auf Maschinen (R{\"u}sten). Aufgrund dieser Aspekte ist es notwendig, die Rentabilit{\"a}t der KMU in der Metallindustrie zu steigern. Das wird durch effiziente Produktionsplanung und -steuerung, sowie der daraus resultierenden hohen Reaktionsf{\"a}higkeit und Flexibilit{\"a}t realisiert. Daher ist die Produktionsplanung auf die Markt- und Kundenanforderungen und die Anlageneffektivit{\"a}t auf ein hohes und stabiles Niveau auszurichten [5]. Hier bietet die Erfassung von Echtzeitdaten eine ad{\"a}quate Reaktion auf die genannten Anforderungen. Ebenfalls liefert sie großes Potenzial f{\"u}r die Produktionsplanung und -steuerung, um die Disposition und Koordination von Arbeitsauftr{\"a}gen zu optimieren. Weiterhin werden St{\"o}rgr{\"o}ßen oder unvorhergesehene Planungsabweichungen reduziert [4][6]. Zus{\"a}tzlich ist eine erh{\"o}hte Transparenz und Verbesserung menschlicher Entscheidungsprozesse notwendig. Dies kann durch datengetriebene Methoden unterst{\"u}tzt und sichergestellt werden [7]. Ein Ansatz zur Optimierung des Produktionsergebnisses kann durch die Erh{\"o}hung der Anlagenproduktivit{\"a}t selbst realisiert werden. Dazu muss die Verf{\"u}gbarkeit der Anlagen durch Lokalisierung und Reduzierung von Verlusten erh{\"o}ht werden. Die Umr{\"u}stungsprozesse tragen stark negativ zur Verf{\"u}gbarkeit einer Produktion bei. Eine Steigerung der Gesamtanlageneffektivit{\"a}t (overall equipment effectiveness oder kurz OEE) in einer Fertigungsumgebung ist jedoch m{\"o}glich durch eine intelligente Nutzung von Sensordaten mit Techniken wie z.
