With our society moving towards Industry 4.0, an increasing number of tasks and procedures in manual workplaces are augmented with a digital component. While the research area of Internet-of-Things focuses on combining physical objects with their digital counterpart, the question arises how the interface to human workers should be designed in such Industry 4.0 environments. The project motionEAP focuses on using Augmented Reality for creating an interface between workers and digital products in interactive workplace scenarios. In this paper, we summarize the work that has been done in the motionEAP project over the run-time of 4 years. Further, we provide guidelines for creating interactive workplaces using Augmented Reality, based on the experience we gained.
This thesis deals with the redesign of manufacturing systems by simulation and optimization. Material flow simulation is a common tool for solving problems in system design. Limitations are the high requirements in time and knowledge to execute simulation studies, evaluate results and solve design problems. New chances arrives with the technologies of industry 4.0 and the digital shadow, providing data for simulation. However, the methods to use production data for the redesign of production systems are not available yet. Purpose of this work is providing the methods to automate simulation from digital shadow, use simulation to optimize and solve problems in system design. Two case studies are used to support the action research approach of this work. The result of this work is a framework for the application of the digital shadow in optimization and problem-solving.
