The assessment of battery condition, from the overall system to the cell level, remains a challenge, particularly outside the laboratory environment. The aging mechanisms occurring within the cell are intricately superimposed, making a clear...

This approach for role allocation in Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) differentiates between process-oriented and model-oriented roles to enhance efficiency and interoperability in MBSE. By integrating existing competency frameworks and best...

As a mechanical transmission element, the ball screw is well-established for generating feed motion in machine tools (MT) and has replaced hydraulic power steering in motor vehicles (MV). While interval controlled central lubrication in MTs often...

The thermal runaway of batteries is a key safety issue, as the cells can catch fire and explode due to uncontrolled heating. In addition to conventional lithium-ion batteries, the industry is focusing on sodium-ion batteries, the safety behavior of...

Collaborative robotics tries to combine the strengths of humans and robots. This article discusses incorporating object detection into a behavior tree (BT), a common hierarchical control structure in robotics. This integration allows robots to...

As a key component of a milling machine, the main spindle decisively determines the accuracy and performance limits of the milling process. During machining, the spindle is simultaneously subjected to static and dynamic loads. Variations in process...

Modern machine tools are equipped with numerous sensors that can be used for process monitoring. However, the underlying models exhibit residual uncertainties, for example due to friction, which can lead to inaccurate results. Data-driven approaches...

Knowledge retention is challenging for companies. Since most knowledge is encoded as text, large language models offer a promising solution for preservation and utilization. A system based on the approach of retrieval augmented generation has been...

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are essential for the automated transportation of goods in industrial applications. However, conventional AGVs are reaching their limits, which is why autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are being used as a more flexible...
