Effect of heat treatment and iron content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a secondary Al-Si-Cu alloy
(2019-05)
In this work the effect of heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a secondary Al-Si-Cu alloy is studied. A Design of Experiments (DoE) was developed in order to optimize the heat treatment parameters and analyze the dissolution and fragmentation of the iron-rich inclusions as well as the improvement of the mechanical properties by non-equilibrium heat treatments. The iron-rich intermetallic inclusions were characterized as-cast and after heat treatment both by two-dimensional metallography ...

Quality Improvement In Manual Assembly By Software-Based Evaluation Of Human Misconduct
(European Safety and Reliability Association, 2019)
For reaching a level of high quality, production processes must be carried out both, economically and reliably. Despite automation and digitalization, manual assembly operations still constitute a key element for creating efficient production processes. However, in practice, creating robust and efficient manual assembly processes often fails because the occurrence of human errors cannot be quantified prospectively. Therefore, a corresponding procedure has been developed at the institutes of the authors. The module-based ...

Analyse der menschlichen Zuverlässigkeit für manuelle Montagetätigkeiten
(Beuth Verlag GmbH, 2019)
Während sich Fehlerraten von Maschinen und Robotern regelmäßig im Promillebereich bewegen, fällt bei manuellen Montagetätigkeiten auf, dass manche Arbeitsschritte deutlich fehleranfälliger sind als andere. Da eine prospektive Auseinandersetzung mit der Zuverlässigkeit des Menschen im Montageprozess in der betrieblichen Praxis bisher weitestgehend vernachlässigt wurde, stellt der folgende Beitrag einen prozessorientierten Ansatz zur qualitativen und quantitativen Analyse der menschlichen Zuverlässigkeit bei manuellen ...

Concept for selecting and integrating traceability systems in the continuous improvement process of SMEs
(2019)
Industry 4.0 is characterized by digitization, globalized markets and a growing demand for individualized products. Therefore, the success of manufacturing companies heavily relies on innovative and customer driven products. However, the industrializing phase of such products is often characterized by the occurring of errors originating in a lack of experience. If errors are not detected prior to delivery, costs will increase considerably (e.g. expensive product recalls). Traceability systems can clearly identify the ...

Signal based non-intrusive load decomposition
(2019-05-29)
Driven by both regulatory and monetary interests the development of energy monitoring systems has been accelerated in recent years. Thus, a large amount of data is collected and stored in huge databases. This is a decisive step towards sustainable production systems since you can’t improve what you don’t know. This paper aims to use the datasets currently available and to combine databases to gather additional information on production systems, in particular energy flows. Therefore, an algorithm has been developed ...

Führung von Mitarbeitenden in Zeiten digitaler Transformationsprozesse
(2019-08)
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, welche Veränderungen sich zukünftig für Führungskräfte bei
der Mitarbeiterführung durch digitale Transformationsprozesse ergeben werden. Hierzu werden aus
der Literatur sowohl klassische, gleichbleibende als auch sich wandelnde Führungsanforderungen aufgezeigt
und Hypothesen abgeleitet. Die Testung der aufgestellten Hypothesen erfolgt mithilfe einer
quantitativen Befragung. Dafür wurden zunächst sieben Themenfelder definiert, anschließend systematisch
analysiert und um ...

Automatic Time Series Segmentation as the Basis for Unsupervised, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring of Machine Tools
(2019)
Detailed energy monitoring and benchmarking at the individual component level is necessary to increase energy efficiency in complex production systems. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) provides an economical solution for operational state detection and load disaggregation without the need for large-scale use of fine-grained energy meters. Existing supervised NILM approaches require detailed training data including control information about individual devices. Unsupervised approaches, on the other hand, often ...

System efficient integration of standby control and heat pump storage systems in manufacturing processes
(2019-05-24)
Prerequisite for system efficiency towards an industrial energy transition is the reducing of energy demand on the process level. In typical manufacturing systems with machine tools and washing machines, the proper design of intelligent standby control and heat pump storage system (HPS) represent high efficiency. The integration of HPS is complicated due to high non-continuity, especially when implementing a standby control system. Our approach aims at designing one single HPS for multiple heat sources and sinks. ...

Large-scale heat pumps: market potential and barriers, classification and estimation of efficiency
(2019-12-20)
Heat pumps powered by renewable electricity have a significant potential to become a critical technology to disruptively decarbonize an economy. An essential step towards this goal is the development of an accurate understanding and model of how heat pumps in large-scale implementations perform in terms of economics, energy, and the environment. In this study, the influence of system design and operating conditions on the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of large-scale (> 50 kWth) electric driven mechanical compression ...

The Influence of different die geometries on the Extrusion Process of High-Consistency Silicone Rubber
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2019)
Silicone Rubber and especially High-Consistency Silicone Rubber (=HCR), are typically processed in the extrusion process. Due to the high requirements in terms of the ma-terial properties and the geometric dimensions, a funda-mental knowledge of the whole process including experi-ences in tool design are essential.
In this study, HCR with different Shore-hardnesses are extruded on a vertical silicone extrusion line with various breaker plates with different length to diameter ratios (=L/D-ratio) in order to analyze ...
