Introduction Creating and configuring simulation scenarios is effort-intensive and time-consuming, mainly because each scenario requires a unique set of configurations, parameters, and settings, making the procedure time-consuming and error-prone. This complexity not only reduces productivity but also increases the learning…
In our last Fraunhofer IESE blog post, we introduced a holistic process planning and scheduling design called RL design, which addresses individualized production with small lot sizes. However, this design cannot deal with scheduling problems in the case of large…
Current industrial production scheduling approaches assume that process planning is performed before scheduling and that process plans are fully or at least partially available before scheduling starts. However, this is not the case in service-based production [5]. Service-based production provides…
Software-defined Cars oder auch Software-defined Vehicles charakterisieren, dass die Fahrzeugentwicklung – langjährigen Vorhersagen folgend – mittlerweile durch den Einsatz von Software dominiert ist. Die Begriffe beschreiben, dass sich andere Disziplinen nun an den Anforderungen der Software orientieren müssen und nicht…
Future-proof decision making can be enabled by Continuous Planning and Continuous Budgeting with Continuous Integration of Digital Twins: Today we continue the series Continuous Engineering for Industrie 4.0, where we are exploring how continuous engineering practices should be instantiated to the automation domain to support Industrie 4.0 principles.
Rolling out changes in complex systems is always a challenge. Regardless of whether a software component needs to be modified or whether a change in the communication network needs to be made, any change may lead to unexpected behavior. Continuous…
