In this paper, we consider the question of data aggregation using the practical example of emissions data for economic activities for the sustainability assessment of regional bank clients. Given the current scarcity of company-specific emission data, an approximation relies on using available public data. These data are reported in different standards in different sources. To determine a mapping between the different standards, an adaptation to the Covariance Matrix Self-Adaptation Evolution Strategy is proposed. The obtained results show that high-quality mappings are found. Nevertheless, our approach is transferable to other data compatibility problems. These can be found in the merging of emissions data for other countries, or in bridging the gap between completely different data sets.
Im vorliegenden Paper wird ein Vergleich zwischen Produktions-und Simulationsdaten präsentiert welches im Rahmen einer größeren Initiative zur Verwendung von Shopfloor Daten bei einem Projektpartner in der Automobilindustrie umgesetzt wurde. In diesem Projekt wurden die Daten die während der Füllbildsimulation entstehen mit den Daten aus der finalen Werkzeugabnahme verglichen um zu analysieren, wie genau diese miteinander über einstimmen. Je besser die Simulation ist, desto schneller kann der gesamte Werkzeugentwicklungsprozess abgewickelt werden, welcher als Kernprozess massives Einsparungspotenzial und damit Wettbewerbsvorteil mit sich bringt.
The usage of data gathered for Industry 4.0 and smart factory scenarios continues to be a problem for companies of all sizes. This is often the case because they aim to start with complicated and time-intensive Machine Learning scenarios. This work evaluates the Process Capability Analysis (PCA) as a pragmatic, easy and quick way of leveraging the gathered machine data from the production process. The area of application considered is injection molding. After describing all the required domain knowledge, the paper presents an approach for a continuous analysis of all parts produced. Applying PCA results in multiple key performance indicators that allow for fast and comprehensible process monitoring. The corresponding visualizations provide the quality department with a tool to efficiently choose where and when quality checks need to be performed. The presented case study indicates the benefit of analyzing whole process data instead of considering only selected production samples. The use of machine data enables additional insights to be drawn about process stability and the associated product quality.
Recent developments in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) increasingly allow for the extension of such techniques to hitherto unidentified areas of application. This paper deals with the application of state-of-the-art NLP techniques to the domain of Product Safety Risk Assessment (PSRA). PSRA is concerned with the quantification of the risks a user is exposed to during product use. The use case arises from an important process of maintaining due diligence towards the customers of the company OMICRON electronics GmbH.
The paper proposes an approach to evaluate the consistency of human-made risk assessments that are proposed by potentially changing expert panels. Along the stages of this NLP-based approach, multiple insights into the PSRA process allow for an improved understanding of the related risk distribution within the product portfolio of the company. The findings aim at making the current process more transparent as well as at automating repetitive tasks. The results of this paper can be regarded as a first step to support domain experts in the risk assessment process.
With Cloud Computing and multi-core CPUs parallel computing resources are becoming more and more affordable and commonly available. Parallel programming should as well be easily accessible for everyone. Unfortunately, existing frameworks and systems are powerful but often very complex to use for anyone who lacks the knowledge about underlying concepts. This paper introduces a software framework and execution environment whose objective is to provide a system which should be easily usable for everyone who could benefit from parallel computing. Some real-world examples are presented with an explanation of all the steps that are necessary for computing in a parallel and distributed manner.
