Intelligente Schnittstellen in wandlungsfähigen Lieferketten (ISI-WALK) Initial Situation • Today‘s supply chains suffer from multiple obstacles. • Exemplary obstacles are rigidly automated conveying and storage systems as well as an insufficient consistency between physical and digital material logistics. Objectives • The projects aims at the development of specific technologies and methods to realize an efficient and economic operation of versatile supply chains. Results • positioning system based on optical technology • versatile warehouse management system • system for 3D object recognition • method for plannung and evaluation of versatility www.isi-walk.de (work in progress) (electrical / software engineer required) Björn Eilert, Andreas Bruns
Automatisierte, CAD-basierte Kalkulation und Konstruktion (AutoKalK) Initial Situation • Tool manufacturers must improve revenue and expense of their tender preparation • Production processes are to be planed flexibly in dependence of mould design and the trend of costs during the tool production is to be supervised Objectives • The project’s aim is to develop a method for automated CAD model creation and CAD-based costing of tools Results • Automated strip chart-based generation of CAD models • Automated and CAD-based costing and monitoring using artificial intelligence algorithms (software engineer required) Björn Eilert, Andreas Bruns
Smart Tools for Abrasive Cutting Initial Situation • Over 67% of the total production costs of granite flaggings and boards are determined by the abrasive cutting process • Major energy and material costs are caused by high chipping ratios (cutting width / board width ~ 1) Objectives • Development of a smart cutting tool that allows to reduce the cutting-wheel width as well as the risk of cut deviations Results • Integration of measuring technology into the cutting-wheel for data acquisition (piezo-electric sensor) and preprocessing (chip) • Wireless data transfer to machine control • Reduction of cut deviations by automatedcontrol mechanisms (electrical / software engineer required) Björn Eilert, Andreas Bruns
