Cluster of Excellence "Internet of Production"

Das diesjährige MINT-EC Camp Produktionstechnik unseres Clusters bot wieder 24 Schülerinnen und Schülern von MINT-Schulen aus ganz Deutschland eine spannende Woche der Entdeckungen! Ob aktuelle Herausforderungen und Lösungen im Bereich der industriellen Montage im Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen, ob Digitalisierungslösungen im Bereich des Supply-Chain-Managements durch das FIR an der RWTH Aachen, Kunststofftechnik am Institut für Kunststoffverarbeitung (IKV) in Industrie und Handwerk an der RWTH Aachen oder auch der Blick auf den Menschen in der Produktion am Institut für Arbeitswissenschaft IAW | RWTH Aachen University – die Themenwelt der Cluster-Forschung ist interdisziplinär, vielseitig und abwechslungsreich. Einen kleinen Einblick bot das Programm bestehend aus einer Mischung vorlesungsrelevanter Inhalte, interessanter Überblicke über Forschungsthemen der Zukunft sowie auch konkret "hands-on" in kreativen Workshops und Führungen durch die unterschiedlichsten Maschinenhallen auf dem Campus Melaten...vielen Dank an Julian Haller, Jana Sasse, Christian Fimmers, Martin Perau und Ralph Baier für das tolle Programm!

🌟 Exciting News: Second Place of Environmental Informatics Prize for Students goes to Raimund Hensen for his master thesis project at PADS!🌟   I am really really proud of Raimund, who has been awarded the second prize at this year's Umweltinformatikpreis (https://lnkd.in/eaKPaykR) during the EnviroInfo conference! 🎉   The award is presented by the Fachbereich Umweltinformatik of the German Informatics Society, recognizing outstanding student projects that apply computer science methods to address real-world environmental challenges.   Raimund's thesis, titled “OCEAn: A Web Application for Object-Centric Emission Analysis with Process Mining,” presents innovative methods for estimating carbon emissions using Object-Centric Event Logs (OCELs). His work aims to enhance sustainability reporting and provide organizations with valuable insights into their environmental impact.   The OCEAn application operates in two phases: 1️⃣ It supports the user in determining emission data based on OCELs by applying specific emission rules (inclduing a connection to the API of the emission database Climatiq). 2️⃣ It processes this data to offer different perspectives, allowing users to identify emission-driving activities and allocate emissions to specific objects.   Congratulations to Raimund for this well-deserved recognition. I really appreciate this great contribution to advancing sustainable practices through process mining (#pm4s). This achievement highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing environmental challenges. Also, thank you very much Wil van der Aalst for supervising this thesis topic with me and thanks to the Cluster of Excellence "Internet of Production" for funding this research!   Keep up the great work, Raimund! I look forward to seeing how you will shape more sustainable business processes in future. I wish you all the best for your start into the post-uni, industrial world!🌍💚 #rwth #pads #processmining #iop #internetofproduction #sustainability

Das MINT-EC-Camp Produktionstechnik 2024 ist gestartet! 24 Schülerinnen und Schüler von MINT-Schulen aus ganz Deutschland sind vom 06. bis 09.11.2024 zu Gast in Aachen und schnuppern in die Themenvielfalt rund um das Cluster of Excellence "Internet of Production". Nach der Begrüßung durch Geschäftsführer Christian Fimmers, durfte die Gruppe am ersten Tag bei einem Lean-Planspiel mit Cluster-Wissenschaftler Julian Haller vom Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen hands-on Industrielle Montage vor Ort ausprobieren. #InternetofProduction #IoP #RWTHAachen #MINTEC #MINT #Produktionstechnik

In the fifth part of our series on the freedom of science, we ask professor Christian Brecher, Chair of Machine Tools at the Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen at RWTH Aachen University and Director of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT… ❓… how does Production Technology enhance freedom and autonomy? ➡ Continuous improvements in production efficiency drive economic growth and prosperity. From 15th-century letterpress printing to modern chip manufacturing, advancements in production technology have enabled disruptive innovations. Today, developments in this field significantly enhance personal autonomy and agency by simplifying work processes and promoting sustainability. Simplifying work, such as through collaborative robotics, not only addresses physical tasks but also provides mental relief. In addition, production technology plays a crucial role in ecological sustainability by emphasizing resource efficiency and reusing existing products. This shift positions production technology as a critical driver of a thriving and evolving circular economy for the future. ❓ What is the direct positive impact on our daily lives? ➡ For those working in production, these simplifications translate into noticeable reductions in stress and fatigue during their daily tasks. The contribution of production technology to a value-adding circular economy, an economic system aimed at minimizing waste and making the most of resources, will become increasingly evident through a greater variety of recycled products available in everyday life, offered at lower prices with a significantly improved ecological footprint compared to new products. The introduction of digital product passports will further transform this landscape by providing standardized digital access to individual process steps and facilitating repairs or upgrades with readily available spare parts. Ultimately, we all stand to benefit indirectly when both the environment and economy thrive – an impact that will be felt in our daily lives. ❓ Are there risks associated with this key technology? ➡ While there is no inherent danger posed by production technology itself, risks can arise from new tools developed within it – particularly regarding data management, especially personal data. Primary concerns include cybersecurity challenges that are becoming increasingly relevant alongside artificial intelligence and extensive networks utilized in production settings. Additionally, we need to examine the potential negative impacts that supplementary systems could have on individuals, such as inadequate knowledge management. In our ‘Internet of Sustainable Production’ Cluster of Excellence, we explore not only the effects on individuals but also examine ethical questions and risk perceptions in the context of ‘the Future of Work.’ Read more: ➡ https://lnkd.in/eqHc5_ak 📸: Jürgen Lösel #RWTH #rwthaachen #rwthaachenuniversity #keytechnologies #productiontechnology
