Collaborative Robotics Safety Control Application Using Dynamic Safety Zones Based on the ISO/TS 15066:2016
(Springer, 2019)In this work we propose a safety control approach for industrial applications of collaborative robotics based on the requirements of the latest safety standards. The safety requirements are verified by performing intersection ... -
Collaborative Construction Process Management: The project COCkPiT
(epubli, 2017)Compared to other industries the construction industry (CI) is highly fragmented and suffers from a low productivity rate, a weak usage of resources and delays. Due to a poor collaboration, construction processes are ... -
An AD based design and implementation approach for Franchise-networks with distributed manufacturing units
(ICAD, 2013)Franchising as an organizational form gains in recent years, more and more importance and grows even faster than the overall economy. While we can find many business and juridical approaches and research about franchising, ... -
Reducing the time dependent complexity in organizational systems using the concept of functional periodicity
(Institute of Axiomatic Design, 2009)Economic growth and sustainable value creation are a company’s most important long-term targets. However, practical experience shows that large structures notoriously suffer from efficiency losses due to increasing ... -
The power of simplicity: Design of flexible, changeable and efficient assembly systems through systematic complexity reduction
(Dep. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007)The complexity of an assembly system is caused by two factors: by a time-independent poor design that causes low efficiency (system design), and by a time-dependent reduction of system performance due to system deterioration ... -
Market driven process and structure innovation

Morgenstadt - Urban production in the city of the future
(Springer, 2013)Already today cities are the biggest entities of industrial and economic activity and the growth of urban populations is steadily increasing. By 2030 the number of people living in cities will rise to five billion, facing ... -
Transfer of Industry 4.0 to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
(IOS Press, 2018)Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution and technological evolution from embedded systems to cyber-physical production systems. A great challenge for the future lies in the transfer of Industry 4.0 concepts ... -
A case study in learning factories for real-time reconfiguration of assembly systems through computational design and cyber-physical systems
(Springer, 2018)Digitalization in manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) may turn ordinary manufacturing systems, usually designed for mass-production, into highly flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing ... -
Design of flexible and ergonomic material handling systems for large and heavy goods
(Fraunhofer Verlag, 2011)Material handling produces around 20-25% of total manufacturing labor cost [1]. Thus, in all manufacturing systems, the design and selection of flexible and ergonomic material handling equipment is of significant importance ...
