For about ten years, a constant disproportionate growth of wireless technologies can be observed in the automation technology. However, it shows that especially for the AT, conventional technologies of office automation are unsuitable and/or not manageable. The employment of mobile services in the industrial automation technology has the potential of significant cost and time savings. This leads to an increased productivity in various fields of the AT, for example in the factory and process automation or in production logistics. In this paper technologies and solutions for an automation-suited supply of mobile wireless services will be introduced under the criteria of real time suitability, IT-security and service orientation. Emphasis will be put on the investigation and development of wireless convergence layers for different radio technologies, on the central provision of support services for an easy-to-use, central, backup enabled management of combined wired / wireless networks and on the study on integrability in a Profinet real-time Ethernet network.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StieglitzWollert2011, author = {Stieglitz, Kristian and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Approach of using ultra-wideband-radio in industrial real-time ethernet networks}, series = {The 4th International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technological Innovation : IMETI : July 19th - July 22nd, 2011, Orlando, Florida, USA}, booktitle = {The 4th International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technological Innovation : IMETI : July 19th - July 22nd, 2011, Orlando, Florida, USA}, organization = {International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technological Innovation <4, 2011, Orlando, Fla.>}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Wollert2012, author = {Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {The performance of UWB-communication in an industrial environment}, series = {IEEE 1st International Symposium on Wireless Systems : (IDAACS-SWS) : Offenburg, 20-21 Sept. 2012}, booktitle = {IEEE 1st International Symposium on Wireless Systems : (IDAACS-SWS) : Offenburg, 20-21 Sept. 2012}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, organization = {International Symposium on Wireless Systems <1, 2012, Offenburg>}, isbn = {978-1-4673-4678-8}, doi = {10.1109/IDAACS-SWS.2012.6377639}, pages = {85 -- 90}, year = {2012}, 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.

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} }
