They rely on timely integrating product data to present them aggregated in an online shop without knowing format specifications, concept understanding of manufacturers, and data quality. Furthermore, format, concepts, and data quality may change at any time. Consequently, integrating product catalogs into a single standardized catalog is often a laborious manual task. Current strategies to streamline or automate catalog integration use techniques based on machine learning, word vectorization, or semantic similarity. However, most approaches struggle with low-quality or real-world data. We propose Attribute Label Ranking (ALR) as a recommendation engine to simplify the integration process of previously unknown, proprietary tabular format into a standardized catalog for practitioners. We evaluate ALR by focusing on the impact of different neural network architectures, language features, and semantic similarity. Additionally, we consider metrics for industrial application and present the impact of ALR in production and its limitations.}, language = {en} } @article{ZabirovSchleserBucherer2021, author = {Zabirov, Alexander and Schleser, Markus and Bucherer, Sebastian}, title = {F{\"u}ge- und Dichtkonzept f{\"u}r einen Leichtbauverbrennungsmotor}, series = {adh{\"a}sion KLEBEN \& DICHTEN}, volume = {65}, journal = {adh{\"a}sion KLEBEN \& DICHTEN}, number = {11}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2192-8681}, doi = {10.1007/s35145-021-0531-5}, pages = {12 -- 19}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @incollection{PfetschAbeleAltherretal.2021, author = {Pfetsch, Marc E. and Abele, Eberhard and Altherr, Lena and B{\"o}lling, Christian and Br{\"o}tz, Nicolas and Dietrich, Ingo and Gally, Tristan and Geßner, Felix and Groche, Peter and Hoppe, Florian and Kirchner, Eckhard and Kloberdanz, Hermann and Knoll, Maximilian and Kolvenbach, Philip and Kuttich-Meinlschmidt, Anja and Leise, Philipp and Lorenz, Ulf and Matei, Alexander and Molitor, Dirk A. and Niessen, Pia and Pelz, Peter F. and Rexer, Manuel and Schmitt, Andreas and Schmitt, Johann M. and Schulte, Fiona and Ulbrich, Stefan and Weigold, Matthias}, title = {Strategies for mastering uncertainty}, series = {Mastering uncertainty in mechanical engineering}, booktitle = {Mastering uncertainty in mechanical engineering}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-78353-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-78354-9_6}, pages = {365 -- 456}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This chapter describes three general strategies to master uncertainty in technical systems: robustness, flexibility and resilience. It builds on the previous chapters about methods to analyse and identify uncertainty and may rely on the availability of technologies for particular systems, such as active components. Robustness aims for the design of technical systems that are insensitive to anticipated uncertainties. Flexibility increases the ability of a system to work under different situations. Resilience extends this characteristic by requiring a given minimal functional performance, even after disturbances or failure of system components, and it may incorporate recovery. The three strategies are described and discussed in turn. Moreover, they are demonstrated on specific technical systems.}, language = {en} } @article{Olbertz2021, author = {Olbertz, Klaus}, title = {Wichtige arbeitsrechtliche Entwicklungen im Jahr 2020 : Der Jahresr{\"u}ckblick auf alles Wissenswerte im Arbeitsrecht des vergangenen Jahres}, series = {NWB - Steuer- und Wirtschaftsrecht}, journal = {NWB - Steuer- und Wirtschaftsrecht}, number = {10}, issn = {0028-3460}, pages = {703 -- 715}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Im Anschluss an die arbeitsrechtlichen Jahres{\"u}bersichten der vergangenen Jahre (NWB 5/2019 S. 266; NWB 8/2020 S. 557) gibt der nachfolgende Beitrag einen {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber relevante Entwicklungen im Arbeitsrecht des Jahres 2020.

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} } @article{JildehWagnerSchoening2021, author = {Jildeh, Zaid B. and Wagner, Patrick H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Sterilization of Objects, Products, and Packaging Surfaces and Their Characterization in Different Fields of Industry: The Status in 2020}, series = {physica status solidi (a) applications and materials science}, volume = {218}, journal = {physica status solidi (a) applications and materials science}, number = {13}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1862-6319}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.202000732}, pages = {27 Seiten}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The treatment method to deactivate viable microorganisms from objects or products is termed sterilization.

Different sterilization techniques are grouped under a category that describes the method of treatment: radiation (gamma, electron beam, X-ray, and ultraviolet), thermal (dry and moist heat), and chemical (ethylene oxide, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide). For each sterilization process, the typical process parameters as defined by regulations and the mode of antimicrobial activity are summarized.
