The determination of the OEE is oftentimes not transparent in companies, due to the heterogeneous data sources and manual interference. Furthermore, there is a difference in present guidelines to calculate the OEE. Due to a big amount of sensor data in Cyber Physical Production Systems, Machine Learning methods can be used in order to detect several elements of the OEE by a trained model. Changeover time is one crucial aspect influencing the OEE, as it adds no value to the product. Furthermore, changeover processes are fulfilled manually and vary from worker to worker. They always have their own procedure to conduct a changeover of a machine for a new product or production lot. Hence, the changeover time as well as the process itself vary. Thus, a new Machine Learning based concept for identification and characterization of machine set-up actions is presented. Here, the issue to be dealt with is the necessity of human and machine interaction to fulfill the entire machine set-up process. Because of this, the paper shows the use case in a real production scenario of a small to medium size company (SME), the derived data set, promising Machine Learning algorithms, as well as the results of the implemented Machine Learning model to classify machine set-up actions.

NC-programs are mostly written in standardized G-code. Evaluating CNC-controlled manufacturing processes before their real application is advantageous due to resource efficiency. One dimension is the estimation of the energy demand of a part manufactured by an NC-program, e.g. to discover optimization potentials. In this context, this paper presents a Machine Learning (ML) approach to assess G-code for CNC-milling processes from the perspective of the energy demand of basic G-commands. We propose Latin Hypercube Sampling as an efficient method of Design of Experiments to train the ML model with minimum experimental effort to avoid costly setup and implementation time of the model training and deployment.

This can lead to time consuming procedures. Data-driven approaches such as Machine Learning can support decision processes with trained and validated models to predict certain output parameter. In a multifaceted process chain of material synthesis of electrochemical materials and their characterization, Machine Learning has a huge potential to shorten development processes. Based on this, the contribution presents a novel approach to utilize data derived from Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) of SiO_2 matrix materials for battery anodes with Neural Networks. Here, we use SAXS as an intermediate, high-throughput method to characterize sol–gel based porous materials. A multi-step-method is presented where a Feed Forward Net is connected to a pretrained autoencoder to reliably map parameters of the material synthesis to the SAXS curve of the resulting material. In addition, a direct comparison shows that the prediction error of Neural Networks can be greatly reduced by training each output variable with a separate independent Neural Network.

The transformation to smart processes in manufacturing leads to a higher deployment of data-driven approaches to support the worker. Upcoming technologies in this context are oftentimes based on the gesture-recognition, − monitoring or – control. This contribution systematically reviews gesture or motion capturing technologies and the utilization of gesture data in the ergonomic assessment, gesture-based robot control strategies as well as the identification of COVID-19 symptoms. Subsequently, two applications are presented in detail. First, a holistic human-centric optimization method for line-balancing using a novel indicator – ErgoTakt – derived by motion capturing. ErgoTakt improves the legacy takt-time and helps to find an optimum between the ergonomic evaluation of an assembly station and the takt-time balancing. An optimization algorithm is developed to find the best-fitting solution by minimizing a function of the ergonomic RULA-score and the cycle time of each assembly workstation with respect to the workers’ ability. The second application is gesture-based robot-control. A cloud-based approach utilizing a generally accessible hand-tracking model embedded in a low-code IoT programming environment is shown.

Dadurch ist die Wertschöpfungskette anfällig für externe Störungen, die unter anderem durch den Klimawandel ausgelöst werden. Zugleich sind die Erwärmungsraten in der bayerischen Region derzeit deutlich höher als im bundesweiten Durchschnitt. Die Entwicklung von strategischen Maßnahmen zur Klimaanpassung ist demnach unerlässlich, um die unternehmensspezifischen Risiken des Klimawandels zu antizipieren und zu minimieren. Die Klimaanpassung ist in vielen kommunalen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Bereichen eine der größten Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Die vorliegende Regionalstudie beabsichtigt daher eine Abgrenzung der Verhältnisse und Wechselwirkungen des globalen Klimawandels, der Auswirkungen in der bayerischen Region Mainfranken sowie der aufkommenden Veränderungsbedarfe für gesellschaftliche, politische und wirtschaftliche Akteure. Ein umfassender grundlagentheoretischer Überblick dient zunächst der Einordnung wichtiger Ansatzpunkte aus politischer Perspektive und stellt Angebote für Wirtschaftsakteure dar. Ferner werden die wirtschaftlichen Ausprägungen nach Handwerksbetrieben und Unternehmen differenziert, sowie deren Rolle für Wachstum und Innovation in der Region, als auch in Bezug auf den Klimawandel und die erforderliche Anpassung aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Erhebung veranschaulichen, dass neben der Wirtschaftlichkeit und physischen Ressourcen, menschliche Faktoren zur Erhöhung der organisationalen Klimaresilienz beitragen. Um als wirtschaftliche Organisationen einen adäquaten Umgang mit dem Klimawandel zu finden, sind bspw. zunächst Führungskräfte aufgefordert einen systemischen Ansatz mit umfangreichen Maßnahmen zu Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassung zu entwickeln, auf ihre Wirksamkeit zu erproben und ganzheitlich zu integrieren. Mit der vorliegenden Regionalstudie wird deutlich, dass neben dem Klimaschutz, der Reduzierung klimaschädlicher Treibhausgasemissionen, die Klimaanpassung ein unverzichtbarer Aspekt ist, um die wirtschaftliche Effizienz zu erhalten und sogar zu erhöhen, indem die veränderten Anforderungen als Entwicklungschancen wahrgenommen werden.

Steigende Komplexität der Produkte, kürzer werdende Produktlebenszyklen bei kleinen Losgrößen mit hoher Variantenvielfalt und großem Wettbewerbsdruck zwingen Unternehmen bereits vorhandene Montagestrategien zu überarbeiten. Gerade bei komplexeren Baugruppen ist eine Hochautomatisierung der Montage in der Serienfertigung aufgrund der Produktstruktur nur schwer realisierbar und oftmals nicht wirtschaftlich. In der industriellen Produktion ist ein klarer Trend von der Massenproduktion hin zur »Massenspezialanfertigung« zu erkennen. Die Leistungsfähigkeit eines Industriebetriebes hängt entscheidend von den angewandten Produktionsverfahren, den eingesetzten Produktionsmitteln und der eingeführten Produktionsorganisation ab. Aber auch das Zusammenspiel von Mensch, Organisation und Technik trägt dazu bei Potenziale für den Erfolg eines Unternehmens auszuschöpfen. Aufgrund sich ständig ändernder Marktbedingungen und der kostengünstigen Herstellung von Produkten in Niedriglohnländern bei gleichzeitig steigendem Qualitätsniveau müssen Produktionsstrukturen ständig neu überdacht und weiterentwickelt werden. Die Montage ist im Vergleich zur klassischen Fertigung (wie z.B. Drehen, Fräsen oder Schleifen) ein eher niedrig automatisierter Bereich der industriellen Produktion, indem allerdings eine hohe Wertschöpfung am Produkt stattfindet. Die manuelle Montage ist daher auch zukünftig ein wichtiger Bestandteil der industriellen Produktion. Um am Markt bestehen zu können, müssen Unternehmen nach Möglichkeiten suchen, um manuelle Arbeit produktiver und damit kosteneffizienter zu gestalten ohne dabei Abstriche bei der Qualität hinzunehmen. Zur Unterstützung manueller Tätigkeiten sind in den vergangenen Jahren verschiedene Innovationen in den Fokus der Unternehmen gerückt. Das Ziel muss es sein, den (Montage-)Standort Deutschland durch innovative Konzepte wie kollaborative Mensch-Roboter-Arbeitsplätze zu sichern.

Unfortunately, this property also poses the problem that data points with measurement errors can be approximated too well and unknown parameter subspaces in the estimation can deviate far from the actual value (so-called overfitting). Various developed methods aim to reduce overfitting through modifications in several areas of the training. In this work, we pursue the question of how an NN behaves in training with respect to overfitting when linear and nonlinear transfer functions (TF) are alternated in different hidden layers (HL). The presented approach is applied to a generated dataset and contrasted to established methods from the literature, both individually and in combination. Comparable results are obtained, whereby the common use of purely nonlinear transfer functions proves to be not recommended generally.

Current practice in manual assembly lines is to balance them using the takt-time of each workstation and harmonize it. However, this approach mostly does not include ergonomic aspects and thus it may lead to workforce musculoskeletal disorders, extended leaves, and demotivation. This paper presents a holistic human-centric optimization method for line balancing using a novel indicator ̶ the ErgoTakt. ErgoTakt improves the legacy takt-time and helps to find an optimum between the ergonomic evaluation of an assembly station and its balance in time. The authors used a custom version of the ErgoSentinel Software and a Microsoft Kinect depth camera to perform online and real-time ergonomic assessment. An optimization algorithm is developed to find the best-fitting solution by minimizing a function of the ergonomic RULA-value and the cycle time of each assembly workstation with respect to the worker's ability. The paper presents the concept, the system-setup and preliminary evaluation of an assembly scenario. The results demonstrate that the new approach is feasible and able to optimize an entire manual assembly process chain in terms of both, economic aspects of a well-balanced production line as well as the ergonomic issue of long term human healthy work.

The task of immersive productive assistance systems is to provide information contextually to the industrial user. Therefore, it is essential to explore the factors and effects that influence the visibility and the corresponding quality of this information. Caused by the technical limitations of additive display technology and application conditions, this new approach has evaluated the immersive visibility of Landolt Rings in various greyscales against ambient illuminance levels on different industrial-like surfaces, coupled with and without a white virtual background. For this purpose, an empirical study in a within-subjects-design with full factorial experimental design (n=23) was conducted on Microsoft HoloLens 2 hardware. The mean values of the main effects indicate that visibility is significantly affected by ambient illuminance (best results at lower level), greyscale (best results at middle level) and virtual background (best results with background). In contrast, the choice of surface is shown to have no statistically significant effect on visibility, however it affects the response time. Additionally, cross-interactions of variables were analyzed and lead to a design recommendation for immersive industrial applications.

To accept uncertainties as a challenge and to recognize opportunities for development, well-educated and resilient founders are needed who can foster innovation and sustainable development within society and the economy. The majority of today’s entrepreneurs have an academic background. Hence, institutions for higher education need to provide comprehensive educational offerings and support initiatives to train and sensitize future entrepreneurs. Therefore, since 2013, agile teaching formats have been developed in our project at a Bavarian university of applied sciences. In two stages, we founded a limited company for hands-on experimentation with entrepreneurship and also conceptualized an elective course and an annual founders’ night. Based on a theoretical model and continuous teaching evaluations, we adjusted the individual modules to suit the target group. The objective is to promote the acquisition of key competencies and exert a positive influence on the startup quotient in the region. There are six startups by students who can be traced back to our project. This indicates that a target-group-oriented educational program encourages motivation and awareness of entrepreneurial thinking and action among students.

To realize a high degree of autonomy in production cells with an industrial robot and a machine tool, an experimental approach was carried out to deal with numerous challenges on various automation levels. One crucial aspect is the scheduling problem of tasks for each resource (machine tool, tools, robot, AGV) depending on various data needed for a job-shop scheduling algorithm. The findings show that the necessary data has to be derived from different automation levels in a company: horizontally from ERP to shop-floor, vertically from the order handling department to the maintenance department. Utilizing that data, the contribution provides a cascaded scheduling approach for machine tool jobs as well as CNC and robot tasks for highly autonomous production cells supplied by AGVs.

With the highly increasing digitalization of industrial processes, the potential of these technologies comes into focus of process management research. This paper aims to structure position-based technologies according to their potential to support shop-floor process management. For this purpose, a framework with the following dimensions is developed: technical performance properties of the IPS, economical aspects, relevant use-case requirements, and appropriate data aggregation strategies. Following this, two representable use-cases show the implementation of an indoor-positioning-system and the data aggregation in order to derive relevant process data from position data.

Reaching this goal is driven by reducing life cycle costs for quality measures, to minimize scrap rate and to increase productivity under optimal resource efficiency. Therefore, monitoring the state of the powder bed for each printed layer is state of the art in selective laser melting. In the most modern approaches the quality monitoring is done by computer vision systems working with an interference on trained neural networks with images taken after exposure and after recoating. There are two drawbacks of this monitoring method: First, the sensor signals - the image of the powder bed - give no direct height information. Second, the application of this method needs to be trained and labeled with reference images for several cases. The novel approach presented in this paper uses a laser line scanner attached to the recoating machine. With this new concept, a direct threshold measure can be applied during the recoating process to detect deviations in height level without prior knowledge. The evaluation can be done online during recoating and feedback to the controller to monitor each individual layer. Hence, in case of deviations the location in the printing plane is an inherent measurement and will be used to decide which severity of error is reported. The signal is used to control the process, either by starting the recoating process again or stopping the printing process. With this approach, the sources of error for each layer can be evaluated with deep information to evaluate the cause of the error. This allows a reduction of failure in the future, which saves material costs, reduces running time of the machine life cycle phase in serial production and results in less rework for manufactured parts. Also a shorter throughput time per print job results, which means that the employee can spent more time to other print jobs and making efficient use of the employee’s work force. In summary, this novel approach will not only reduce material costs but also operating costs and thus optimize the entire life cycle cost structure. The paper presents a first feasibility and application of the described approach for test workpieces in comparison to conventional monitoring systems on an EOS M290 machine.

Hence, the knowledge about the energy intensity of new process technologies as metal printing becomes increasingly crucial. Therefore, data about the energy intensity of entire process chains allow a detailed assessment of the life cycle costs and environmental impact of metal printed parts. As metal printing with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is applied from rapid prototyping to serial manufacturing processes more and more, sustainability data are useful to support a valid scale-up scenario and energetic improvements of the 3D-printing machinery as well as peripheral aggregates used in the process chain. The contribution aims to increase the transparency of the LPBF process chain in terms of its energy consumption. Therefore a generalized model to assess sustainability aspects of metal printed parts is derived. For this purpose, the LPBF process chain with the essential pre-, main- and post-processes is evaluated regarding its energy intensity. Here, the sub-processes, for example wet and dry cleaning of the printer, sieving of the metal powder or sand-blasting of the part are analyzed as well as the main printing process. Based on the derived experimental data from an installed, industry-like process chain, a model is created, which tends to generalize the experimental findings to evaluate other metal printed parts and process chain variants in terms of their energy intensity.

The impact of stress and stress management on entrepreneurs’ mental health and performance JF - Frontiers in Psychology N2 - Introduction: Entrepreneurs play a central role in economic and social stability, yet the start-up rate in Germany has declined in recent years, possibly due to the stress associated with entrepreneurial endeavors. Stressors such as financial uncertainty and time pressure are prevalent among entrepreneurs and negatively affect their psychological well-being. However, research on stress management strategies among self-employed individuals remains limited. Methods: This pilot study conducted a quantitative analysis with 117 self-employed participants in Germany. The study focused on typical entrepreneurial work demands and selected stress coping mechanisms. Results: The analysis revealed a significant correlation between quantitative demands and mental exhaustion. Furthermore, a high positive correlation between presenteeism and workload suggests that presenteeism may partially explain the variance in workload. These findings underscore how high job demands can lead to self-endangering behaviors that are detrimental to mental health. Discussion: Although no significant moderating effect of proactive coping on the relationship between job demands and mental exhaustion was observed, significant negative correlations between proactive coping and both job demands and mental exhaustion suggest a potential protective role of proactive coping against work-related stress. This study highlights the importance of understanding stress coping strategies among self-employed individuals and their impact on entrepreneurial success and mental well-being. Further research in this area is warranted to develop effective interventions to support the well-being and productivity of self-employed individuals in Germany.

The evaluate this so-called Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) life cycle analysis as a comprehensive method is applicable, but means great effort and requires interdisciplinary knowledge. Nevertheless, assumptions must still be made to assess the entire supply chain. To lower these burdens and provide a digital tool to estimate the PCF with less input parameter and data, we make use of machine learning techniques and develop an editorial framework called MINDFUL. This contribution shows its realization by providing the software architecture, underlying CO2 factors, calculations and Machine Learning approach as well as the principles of its user experience.

Therefore, the possession of green skills becomes central to the fight against climate change. The European Council conclusions recognize this urgency and underline the need for a transition to green skills. This recognition also extends to higher education, where institutions have a crucial role to play in tackling the climate crisis. Personal Green Skills in Higher Education (PeGSinHE) is an Erasmus+ KA2 project coordinated by Kauno Kolegija (KK, Lithuania), Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK, Finland), Hochschule für Agrar- und Umweltpädagogik (HAUP, Austria), Universidad de Málaga (UMA, Spain) and Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg Schweinfurt (THWS, Germany). The strategically designed project aims not only to promote green skills among students and encourage personal behavioral change in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, but also to instill a sense of social responsibility in the partner institutions. The focus is on empowering lecturers at partner universities through innovative teaching and learning methods to effectively impart green skills to students. This report describes the objectives and methodology used to assess environmental and sustainability competencies in the higher education institutions involved in the project. Methodologically, the report uses an assessment template designed to provide a comprehensive overview of best practice and baseline levels of environmental and sustainability competencies. It advocates the involvement of key stakeholders from all five partner Higher Education Institutions to ensure a broad perspective on these practices and competences within their respective countries and organizations. Different methods and perspectives will be used to collect data to enable a holistic understanding of the topic. The joint completion of the assessment template serves as a catalyst for joint discussions on the level of environmental and sustainability competencies and the identification of best practices in each organization. The results show that national implementation strategies are relatively loose, although some competency descriptions set targets for undergraduate degree programs. Challenges faced by higher education staff include resource constraints, particularly lack of time, the need for a deeper understanding of sustainable development and pedagogical tools, and the need for improved opportunities for collaboration. Given the time and resource constraints of this study, the results must be considered preliminary. Nevertheless, they confirm the findings of previous studies.
