inTimeinTime Delivery in non-hierarchical Manufacturing Networks of Machinery and Equipment Industry |
The aim of the research project inTime is to increase the logistic effectiveness and thereby to reduce costs in in non-hierarchical manufacturing networks of machinery and equipment industry.
Li-MobilityBattery management algorithms for LiFePO4 batteries that consider aging of the battery |
Li-Mobility aims at developing a battery management system that allows for prediction of the effects of using the battery for supporting the power grid.
|
NeuProPlus Phase IIIntelligent rail infrastructure through innovative production guidance systems |
The goal of the joint research project is the economic optimisation of the control and rail automation technology through a redesign of system structures and an improvement of existing value chains.
|
O(SC)²arOpen Service Cloud for the Smart Car |
Consequent addition of ICT as well as ICTEE architecture to Aachen's modular system for electric vehicles (StreetScooter).
|
OSEOverall-Service-Efficiency |
Purpose of the OSE research project is the development of a measurement model which aims at making the order processing efficiency of industrial services ascertainable and assessable based upon types of waste. Therewith, the basis is to be laid for well-directed and efficiency increasing improvements.
|
SISEsynergetic, interactive and self-organized E-Learning in automotive engineering companies |
The goal of this project is the development, implementation and trial of a knowledge communication and learning environment (SISE platform) for manufactures, using the example of the automotive engineering industry and taking advantage of web 2.0-technologies.
|
Smart WattsCreation of an energy system of the future in the model region Aachen |
The goal of Smart Watts ist to optimise the whole energy system from the generation over the trading and the distribution to the final consumption by transporting special information by electricity.
|
Smart.NRWSupply-Chain-Exellence in the consumer goods industry by adaptive planning proccesses and RFID source tagging on case level |
Smart.NRW aims at creating an RFID-based self-optimizing Supply Chain. Therefore following results will be developed: Method for automated determination of optimal transponder type and position, production technologies for integration of RFID transponders into cases and adaptive planning and control mechanisms for optimizing and stabilizing the supply chain.
SoReMaSelf-Optimizing Control of product-related material procurement |
This project aims to develop a valid and comprehensible decision support for choosing a material planning logic, according to the respective situation and the defined objectives. Further, the decision support shall be combined with existing, adaptive material planning methods within present IT-systems. Thereby a self-optimizing procurement characterized by the interaction between material planner and IT-system shall be reached and enable a dynamic adaption to the dynamic environment.
|
SustainValueSustainable value creation in manufacturing networks |
The project will develop governace and business models, a new methodology to support sustainable life cycle decisions and sustainability assurance performance standards for complex business processes in integrated production and service networks.
|
Tech4PStrategies for the integration of technologie into human-related services |
In our society individual-related services are gaining ever more importance. Supplying populace with these services at high quality and reasonable costs requires making the service delivery more efficient. Thereto using modern technologies in the service delivery process is a promising option. But still there are some obstacles to overcome.
|
WInDVersatile through integration potential and diversity |
A superordinated goal of the research project WInD is the conception of a versatile production system for the branch of mechanical and plant egngineering. The coordination ability in production networks, which is very important for this branch , is supposed to be increased significantly.
|
WOMTAWertorientiertes Management von Technologiearchitekturen |
The project WOMTA aims to expand the implementation of business application systems from a purely functional view for technological and strategic aspects. Therefore both the compliance with the current IT-architecture and the ability of the entire application environment to succeed in the future will be considered.
