Why we research: The core goals of our work

The core objectives of our research work is to optimize the results in Industry 4.0 and to be the first to take the next step, it is not enough to rest on your laurels!

Industrial - Digital twin, shadow

  • Model, characteristics, behaviour
  • Distributed digital twins
  • Contextualization of information
  • Use of artificial intelligence for uncertain or missing information
  • Novel testing concepts during engineering, virtual commissioning, and operation
  • Use cases: Energy optimization, collision avoidance, anomaly detection, …

Interoperability - Information exchange

  • Use of data from the engineering of production plants (e.g. AutomationML, Collada, FMU)
  • Component exchange in standardized format (e.g. AutomationML, FMU, AASX)
  • Acquisition and use of data from operation by means of standard (e.g. OPC UA)

Interoperability - Standards and integration

  • IEC (e.g. IEC62714 AutomationML)
  • VDI (e.g. continuous engineering,
  • German glossary Industrie 4.0)
    platform industry 4.0 (among others AAS Submodel Simulation)
  • AutomationML e.V. (e.g. work group Toolchain, Component, Robotics, joint working group AutomationML & OPC Foundation, joint working group AAS & AutomationML)

Globalization and digitalization

  • IoT/edge/cloud Platforms (Combine data with business)
  • Data and information security
  • Connectivity and networking
  • Training/education in digital world (without real plant)
  • Location independence (remoteX)
