In addition, strict rules due to data protection and intellectual property concerns hinder broad use of the provided data for innovative research, especially in the academic context. To enable the research and evaluation of approaches for a variety of Industry 4.0 use cases, we developed SmartManPy, an extension to the ManPy discrete event simulation environment. We extended the scope of the project to meet our needs and are now able to simulate production lines and the resulting data in just a few lines of code. SmartManPy (Smart Manufacturing Python) includes complex synthetic feature generation, quality control and failures based on recorded features, and data drift simulation. We additionally added a basic environment to train AI agents using reinforcement learning. Our code is released to the public on GitHub.

The complexity and unpredictable nature of AI-enabled software functions have disrupted traditional safety evaluation methods. In such a scenario, the quality control methods used at the manufacturing environments of sensors used for deploying AI-based perception functions need to be coupled with the downstream functions. This study focuses on investigating the impact of a specific production-related defect called blemish, which is caused by debris on image sensors of camera modules. The research aims to answer two fundamental questions: 1) How can blemish artifacts be mathematically modeled, and what is the process for developing a suitable dataset that incorporates this defect? 2) How can the influence of blemish artifacts on performance of object detection models be traced back to define quality requirements of the camera modules? This work takes a novel perspective by shifting the focus from improving model resilience to improving hardware quality camera modules by studying the effects of manufacturing defects on downstream functions. This research seeks to establish a framework to derive quality targets for front camera module manufacturing which can be extended to other sensors for similar applications.

For safe and efficient operation, we propose Gas Grid Copilot (GGC) as a demonstrator of a multi-objective reinforcement learning agent that trains in a simulated gas grid environment to control a grid by modifying its inflow into a mass storage. Multiple, possibly conflicting reward signals are included. Their conflicts and synergies of rewards are analyzed using techniques from multi-criteria decision making, more specifically a conflict interaction matrix based on extended fuzzy logic. That way, dispatchers of a gas grid can explore the effects of reward prioritizations and their consequences safely.

Liquid composite molding (LCM) is a family of often employed, inexpensive, out-of-autoclave manufacturing techniques. Among them, resin transfer molding (RTM), offers a high degree of automation. Herein, textile preforms are saturated by a fluid polymer matrix in a closed mold.Both impregnation quality and level of fiber volume content are of crucial importance for the final part quality. We propose to simultaneously learn three major textile properties (fiber volume content and permeability in X and Y direction) presented as a three-dimensional map based on a sequence of camera images acquired in flow experiments and compare CNNs, ConvLSTMs, and Transformers. Moreover, we show how simulation-to-real transfer learning can improve a digital twin in FRP manufacturing, compared to simulation-only models and models based on sparse real data. The overall best metrics are: IOU 0.5031 and Accuracy 95.929 %, obtained by pretrained transformer models.

It can augment established methods for controlling manufacturing processes such as statistical process control (SPC) to detect non-obvious patterns in high-dimensional input data. However, due to the widespread issue of model miscalibration in neural networks, there is a need for estimating the predictive uncertainty of these models. Many established approaches for uncertainty estimation output scores that are difficult to put into actionable insight. We therefore introduce the concept of certainty groups which distinguish the predictions of a neural network into the normal group and the certainty group. The certainty group contains only predictions with a very high accuracy that can be set up to 100%. We present an approach to compute these certainty groups and demonstrate our approach on two datasets from a PHM setting.
