Additive manufacturing is considered a key technology for digital production. However, several barriers towards the broad industrial application exist, e.g. the associated cost and the required experience regarding the manufacturing process. To eradicate these barriers, the complete digitalization of the value creation process is needed. In this thesis, a digital, automated support structuredesign procedure is developed. Topology optimization is used for design rule determination, and the space colonization algorithm is adapted for the automated design. The validity of the procedure is proven experimentally, revealing sufficient mechanical performance alongside cost reduction at medium to large production scales.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertation werden zwei additiven Fertigungsverfahren, Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) und Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) unter Verwendung thermoplastischer Faserverbundwerkstoffe kombiniert. Weiterhin kommt künstliche Intelligenz zur Optimierung und Minimierung der Fehler im Fertigungsprozess zum Einsatz. Durch die Kombination dieser drei Methoden in einem automatisierten Fertigungsprozess lassen sich leichtere und kostengünstigere Faserverbundbauteile in homogeneren Serien herstellen. Endlosfasern wie Kohlenstofffasern können durch ihre mechanischen Eigenschaften die Leistung dieser Methoden signifikant erhöhen

This book systematically analyzes the applicability of big data analytics and Industry 4.0 from the perspective of semiconductor manufacturing management. It reports in real examples and presents case studies as supporting evidence. In recent years, technologies of big data analytics and Industry 4.0 have been frequently applied to the management of semiconductor manufacturing. However, related research results are mostly scattered in various journal issues or conference proceedings, and there is an urgent need for a systematic integration of these results. In addition, many related discussions have placed too much emphasis on the theoretical framework of information systems rather than on the needs of semiconductor manufacturing management. This book addresses these issues.

This edited book addresses the challenges in managing the operations and supply chain of organizations in the era of internet of things and Industry 4.0.

Shape Memory Composites Based on Polymers and Metals for 4D Printing is a thorough discussion of the physics and chemistry behind this developing area of materials science. It provides readers with a clear exposition of shape-memory-composite (SMC) preparation techniques for 3D and 4D printing processes and explains how intelligent manufacturing technology may be applied in fields such as robotics, construction, medical science, and smart sensors.The book covers fundamental background knowledge on the synthesis of shape memory polymers (SMPs) and shape memory alloys (SMAs), and additive manufacturing techniques. Polymers and metals and their roles in 4D printing are dealt with separately, and applications of 4D printing are treated in their own chapter. The different alloy compositions and nanoparticle fillers in polymer composites are examined in detail, along with the key mechanisms involved in their processing. Hybrid nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures, which are either in extensive current use or have shown promising outcomes in the field of 4D printing, are thoroughly discussed. Differences between these novel SMCs and traditional metal alloys, organic and inorganic composites are presented, and means by which they can improve mechanical properties that are triggered by external sources like magnetic field, temperature, and pH of solvent, are set out. This book provides practitioners, industrial researchers, and scholars with a state-of-the-art overview of SMP/SMA synthesis, additive manufacturing, modification in synthesis of SMCs for 4D printing, and their likely future applications.

Erfolgreiche Unternehmen verfolgen eine nachhaltige Innovationsstrategie und setzen diese konsequent um. Innovationspotenziale richtig zu erkennen, einzuschätzen und zielgenau umzusetzen ist eine Stärke, die Wettbewerbsvorteile und damit hohe Profitabilität ermöglicht. Dabei sind die Randbedingungen, welche zusätzlich durch die VUCA-Welt verstärkt werden, bei der Gestaltung des Innovationsmanagements vielfältig: erhöhter Kostendruck, rasche Technologiewandel und schwer abzuschätzende Marktpotenziale stehen limitierten Entwicklungsbudgets und ambitionierten Zeitplänen gegenüber. Hinzu kommen Anforderungen aus dem Megatrend Sustainability. Hierbei müssen neben ökonomischen auch ökologische und soziale Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Um diesen spezifischen Herausforderungen systematisch begegnen zu können, stellen die Autoren einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz zur Neuausrichtung des Innovationsmanagements vor. Der Innovationsprozess wird dabei verstanden als iterativer Zyklus von der Identifizierung von Marktpotenzialen über die Strukturierung von Innovations- und Entwicklungsprojekten, die Realisierung sowie Industrialisierung von Produkten bis hin zur Markteinführung. Im Zeitalter des digitalen Wandels besteht darüber eine zentrale Maßgabe für das Innovationsmanagement darin, Innovationspotenziale während der Nutzungsphase zu identifizieren und mit Hilfe von Informationssystemen zielgerichtet in neue Produktkonzepte zu überführen.

Dem gestiegenen Wettbewerbsdruck begegnen die Unternehmen - neben Rationalisierungs- und Differenzierungsmaßnahmen - vor allem durch Kundenbindung. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt hierbei die Ausweitung und kundenindividuelle Gestaltung von Dienstleistungsangeboten. Die modellbasierte Entwicklung und kontinuierliche Verbesserung von Dienstleistungen gewinnen daher immer mehr an Bedeutung. Der Band gibt einen Überblick über die hierbei einsetzbaren Methoden und zeigt zukünftige Entwicklungsperspektiven auf. Die zahlreichen Beispiele, die unterschiedlichen Branchen entstammen, fokussieren einerseits Modelle zur Dienstleistungsentwicklung und -erbringung und andererseits Modelle von Informationssystemen, welche die Entwicklung und/oder die Erbringung von Dienstleistungen unterstützen. Sie betrachten alle Lebenszyklusphasen von Dienstleistungen sowie alle "Dimensionen" des Dienstleistungsbegriffs, die eine Basis zur Entwicklung von Ressourcen-, Prozess- und Produktmodellen darstellen.

Ideen allein führen nicht zum Erfolg: Produktinnovation in der Industrie ist die Umsetzung von Know-how in neue, erfolgreiche Produkte. Diese Umsetzung ist nicht mehr allein zufallsgesteuert zu betreiben, wenn Unternehmen langfristig überleben wollen. Die systematische Planung von Innovationen ist daher für den Industriebetrieb Voraussetzung zum Erfolg, wird jedoch heute nur selten durchgehend betrieben. Dies liegt vor allem daran, dass die Methoden zur Generierung und Bewertung von Innovationsansätzen nicht ausreichend bekannt und nur selten in den Innovationsprozess eingegliedert sind. Methodisches Vorgehen zur Innovationsplanung ist daher Inhalt dieses Buches. Die systematische Integration der verfügbaren Methoden in eine ganzheitliche Innovationsplanung wird beschrieben und durch Beispiele aus der Praxis belegt und demonstriert.InnovationRoadMap, Wertanalyse, TRIZ oder Portfolio-Analyse sind nur einige der Schlagworte, die der planende Ingenieur kennen lernt und hier - in den richtigen Kontext gestellt - erläutert findet.

Mit Fertigungsinseln wird eine interessante M|glichkeit zur wirtschaftlichenund humanen Gestaltung des Fertigungsbereiches vorgestellt, die zunehmenden Eingang in die industrielle Einzel-, Klein- und Mittelserienfertigung findet. Dabei wendet sich dieser Band vornehmlich an kleine und mittlere Unternehmen, denn er zeigt Wege, bei geringem Investment mittels Nutzung fortschrittlicher betrieblicher Informationstechnik zu leistungsf{higen Organistionsstrukturen zu gelangen. Fertigungsinseln als Organisationsform versprechen bei h|herer Termintreue eine Verringerung der Durchlaufzeiten und eine Verbesserung der Fertigungsqualit{t. Dieses Buch betrachtet Fertigungsinseln aber nicht nur als isolierte betriebliche Organisationsstruktur. Es werden vielmehr M|glichkeiten der Integration in }bergeordnete CIM-Strukturen aufgezeigt, wobei der Koordination mehrerer Inseln besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Neben den grundlegenden Ausf}hrungen zum Thema macht eine Reihe vonrealisierten Beispielen das Buch zum Handwerkszeug f}r den industriellen Praktiker.
