Wissenschaft in der Produktionspraxis

Production technology and science are inseparable. On the one hand, scientific findings are converted into economically profitable processes and production systems, and on the other hand, science benefits from production technology results as a starting point preparation of explanatory models. The Internet of Production fuels this reciprocity-based relationship and ultimately unleashes traditional experimental field labs to integrate into the "World-as-Lab". Structural changes and the dissolution of the linear cause-and effect relationships in a prospective networked production environment suggest a paradigmatic rearrangement. In addition to multidisciplinarity, this requires an extension of a causal-pareto-optimal solutions under production-induced restrictions. Open research questions lurk in the fields of the collection, structuring an duse of refined data, the analysis of networked systems with parameter identification, black- and white-box modeling and zero latency si mulation, the design of complex value-added networks and the description of socio-technical systems with their human and technical agents and the automated decision-making support
