Beschreibung

Initial Situation

Automated production planning requires a consistent representation of product requirements and manufacturing capabilities. However, product and production system information are typically described using different data structures, terminology, and levels of abstraction. This heterogeneity complicates the systematic comparison of product requirements with available manufacturing resources. A common representation could enable direct comparison and support automated production planning. Potential approaches include vector-based representations, feature models, and formal semantic descriptions.

Objective

The objective of this work is to investigate and develop a unified representation of product requirements and manufacturing capabilities. Existing approaches to capability modeling, feature-based representations, and vector-based descriptions will be systematically analyzed and compared. Based on the identified requirements, a suitable representation concept will be developed that describes required and available manufacturing capabilities using consistent attributes, parameters, and constraints. The approach will be prototypically implemented using exemplary products, assembly operations, and workstations of a learning factory. The evaluation will investigate the expressiveness, consistency, extensibility, and suitability of the proposed representation for comparing product requirements with manufacturing capabilities.

Voraussetzungen

Interest in product development, manufacturing systems, and information modeling. Good analytical skills and basic Python programming skills are required. Experience with data modeling or mathematical representations is advantageous. Independent and scientifically structured working skills are expected.
