One of these technologies are multi-agent systems (MASs), where agents virtualize machines. However, the agent's actual performances in production environments can hardly be estimated as most research has been focusing on isolated projects and specific scenarios. We address this gap by implementing a highly connected and configurable reference model with quantifiable key performance indicators (KPIs) for production scheduling and routing in single-piece workflows. Furthermore, we propose an algorithm to optimize the search of extrema in highly connected distributed systems. The benefits, limits, and drawbacks of MASs and their performances are evaluated extensively by event-based simulations against the introduced model, which acts as a benchmark. Even though the performance of the proposed MAS is, on average, slightly lower than the reference system, the increased flexibility allows it to find new solutions and deliver improved factory-planning outcomes. Our MAS shows an emerging behavior by using flexible production techniques to correct errors and compensate for bottlenecks. This increased flexibility offers substantial improvement potential. The general model in this paper allows the transfer of the results to estimate real systems or other models.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BraunChengLaietal.2019, author = {Braun, Sebastian and Cheng, Chi-Tsun and Lai, Chow Yin and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Microservice Architecture for Automation - Realization by the example of a model-factory's manufacturing execution system}, series = {Proceedings of the 23rd World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2019}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 23rd World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2019}, pages = {33 -- 37}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{BucurLazarescuPopetal.2019, author = {Bucur, Alexandru and Lazarescu, Lucian and Pop, Grigore Marian and Achimas, Gheorghe and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Tribological performance of biodegradable lubricants under different surface roughness of tools}, series = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {17}, journal = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, number = {1}, issn = {1583-7904}, pages = {172 -- 178}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BudaJozenfiniWollert2007, author = {Buda, Aurel and Jozenfini, B. and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Mobile ad-hoc Network for home automation based on ZigBee application framework}, series = {1st European ZigBee Developer's Conference : June 18 - 20, 2007, Munich, Germany}, booktitle = {1st European ZigBee Developer's Conference : June 18 - 20, 2007, Munich, Germany}, publisher = {Design \& Elektronik}, address = {Poing}, organization = {European ZigBee Developer's Conference <1, 2007, M{\"u}nchen>}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @incollection{BudaSchuermannWollert2010, author = {Buda, Aurel and Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Wireless technologies in factory automation}, series = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, booktitle = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, publisher = {Intech}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-953-7619-42-8}, pages = {29 -- 50}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuschkuehleSchuermannWollert2009, author = {Buschk{\"u}hle, Peter and Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Abstraction of wireless communication by a convergence middleware in conjunction with a XML-configuration}, series = {Information technology and electrical engineering : devices and systems, materials and technologies for the future ; Ilmenau 07 - 10 September 2009 ; 54.

Currently, developing prototypes with industrial sensors and actuators is not straightforward. First of all, the exchange of information depends on the industrial protocol that these devices have. Second, a specific configuration and installation is done based on the hardware that is used, such as automation controllers or industrial gateways. This means that the development for a specific industrial protocol, highly depends on the hardware and the software that vendors provide. In this work we propose a rapid-prototyping framework based on Arduino to solve this problem. For this project we have focused to work with the IO-Link protocol. The framework consists of an Arduino shield that acts as the physical layer, and a software that implements the IO-Link Master protocol. The main advantage of such framework is that an application with industrial devices can be rapid-prototyped with ease as its vendor independent, open-source and can be ported easily to other Arduino compatible boards. In comparison, a typical approach requires proprietary hardware, is not easy to port to another system and is closed-source.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ChavezBermudezWollert2022, author = {Chavez Bermudez, Victor Francisco and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {10BASE-T1L industry 4.0 smart switch for field devices based on IO-Link}, series = {2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-6654-1086-1}, doi = {10.1109/WFCS53837.2022.9779176}, pages = {4 Seiten}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The recent amendment to the Ethernet physical layer known as the IEEE 802.3cg specification, allows to connect devices up to a distance of one kilometer and delivers a maximum of 60 watts of power over a twisted pair of wires. This new standard, also known as 10BASE-TIL, promises to overcome the limits of current physical layers used for field devices and bring them a step closer to Ethernet-based applications. The main advantage of 10BASE- TIL is that it can deliver power and data over the same line over a long distance, where traditional solutions (e.g., CAN, IO-Link, HART) fall short and cannot match its 10 Mbps bandwidth. Due to its recentness, IOBASE- TIL is still not integrated into field devices and it has been less than two years since silicon manufacturers released the first Ethernet-PHY chips. In this paper, we present a design proposal on how field devices could be integrated into a IOBASE-TIL smart switch that allows plug-and-play connectivity for sensors and actuators and is compliant with the Industry 4.0 vision. Instead of presenting a new field-level protocol for this work, we have decided to adopt the IO-Link specification which already includes a plug-and-play approach with features such as diagnosis and device configuration. The main objective of this work is to explore how field devices could be integrated into 10BASE-TIL Ethernet, its adaption with a well-known protocol, and its integration with Industry 4.0 technologies.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ChavezBermudezWollert2019, author = {Chavez Bermudez, Victor Francisco and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Gateway for Automation Controllers and Cloud based Voice Recognition Services}, series = {KommA, 10.

The aim of this paper is to create an Arduino based framework for the development of generic IO-Link devices and increase its implementation for rapid prototyping. By generating the IO device description file (IODD) from a graphical user interface, and further customizable options for the device application, the end-user can intuitively develop generic IO-Link devices. The peculiarity of this framework relies on its simplicity and abstraction which allows to implement any sensor functionality and virtually connect any type of device to an IO-Link master.

In this work, a biocompatible powder, 316L stainless steel, is characterized to understand the particle size, distribution, shape and flowability. Examination revealed that the 316L particles are smooth, nearly spherical, their mean diameter is 39.09 μm and just 10\% of them hold a diameter less than 21.18 μm. SLM parameters under consideration include laser power up to 200 W, 250-1500 mm/s scanning speed, 80 μm hatch spacing, 35 μm layer thickness and a preheated platform. The effect of these on processability is evaluated. More than 100 samples are SLM-manufactured with different process parameters. The tensile results show that is possible to raise the ultimate tensile strength up to 840 MPa, adapting the SLM parameters for a stable processability, avoiding the technological defects caused by residual stress. Correlating with other recent studies on SLM technology, the tensile strength is 20\% improved. To validate the SLM parameters and conditions established, complex bioengineering applications such as dental bridges and macro-porous grafts are SLM-processed, demonstrating the potential to manufacture medical products with increased mechanical resistance made of 316L.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DannenSchindelePruemmeretal.2022, author = {Dannen, Tammo and Schindele, Benedikt and Pr{\"u}mmer, Marcel and Arntz, Kristian and Bergs, Thomas}, title = {Methodology for the self-optimizing determination of additive manufacturing process eligibility and optimization potentials in toolmaking}, series = {Procedia CIRP}, volume = {107}, booktitle = {Procedia CIRP}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2212-8271}, doi = {10.1016/j.procir.2022.05.188}, pages = {1539 -- 1544}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metallic workpieces faces a continuously rising technological relevance and market size. Producing complex or highly strained unique workpieces is a significant field of application, making AM highly relevant for tool components. Its successful economic application requires systematic workpiece based decisions and optimizations. Considering geometric and technological requirements as well as the necessary post-processing makes deciding effortful and requires in-depth knowledge. As design is usually adjusted to established manufacturing, associated technological and strategic potentials are often neglected. To embed AM in a future proof industrial environment, software-based self-learning tools are necessary. Integrated into production planning, they enable companies to unlock the potentials of AM efficiently. This paper presents an appropriate methodology for the analysis of process-specific AM-eligibility and optimization potential, added up by concrete optimization proposals. For an integrated workpiece characterization, proven methods are enlarged by tooling-specific figures. The first stage of the approach specifies the model's initialization. A learning set of tooling components is described using the developed key figure system. Based on this, a set of applicable rules for workpiece-specific result determination is generated through clustering and expert evaluation. Within the following application stage, strategic orientation is quantified and workpieces of interest are described using the developed key figures. Subsequently, the retrieved information is used for automatically generating specific recommendations relying on the generated ruleset of stage one. Finally, actual experiences regarding the recommendations are gathered within stage three. Statistic learning transfers those to the generated ruleset leading to a continuously deepening knowledge base.
