SSD - Brockmann Seminar

Dr. Matthias Brockmann- Internet of Production – Need for Simulation and Data Science for the Future of Production

Chair of Machine Tools, RWTH Aachen University

Abstract

The vision of the „Internet of Production“ describes the common research
roadmap of RWTH Aachen University concerning Industrie 4.0 within the
Cluster of Excellence EXC 2023 at RWTH Aachen University.
Due to highly sophisticated, specialized models and data in production,
Digital Twins – in their meaning as full digital representations – are
neither computationally feasible nor purposeful.
The concept of Digital Shadows will provide cross-domain data access in
real time by combining reduced engineering models and production data
analytics.
This seminar will provide an overview of actual research topics, as well
as needs and requirements for data science and simulation in the context
of the Internet of Production.
Core concepts like the Digital Shadow, a new reference infrastructure and
approaches for a new level of cross-domain collaboration will be
explained.
Practical examples for agile manufacturing will be presented by means of
chosen use cases from different fields of production technology.
