Ultrasonic-assisted machining offers the potential to significantly shift the process limits in the machining of brittle materials. However, commercially available ultrasonic systems are severely limited in terms of the parameters that can be...

The additive manufacturing of continuous fibre-reinforced plastic components (CFRP) enables the cost-effective production of complex components for various industries. Laser sintering as a process has only recently been developed for the production...

Data-based process monitoring makes it possible to precisely analyze milling processes and detect anomalies at an early stage – without the need to retrofit additional sensors. By using specialized models and self-learning mechanisms, varying...

Laser Material Deposition is a complex manufacturing process that can be digitized by comprehensive multimodal process monitoring. This article deals with the integration of sensor technology, spatially resolved data acquisition and analysis, and...

Powder bed fusion-laser beam melting (PBF-LB/M) enables the production of complex titanium aluminide parts. However, high temperature gradients Δϑ and residual stresses σ lead to cracking and porosity Φ. This study investigates substrate...

The industrial importance of additive manufacturing technologies is steadily increasing due to a growing understanding of the process and the utilization of the specific process advantages. Particle adhesion occurs during the powder bed-based...

Despite the big data trend, many companies lack transparency regarding their warehouse and production inventories needed for production control and optimization. Based on the theoretical framework of an inventory classification, an empirical study...

Industrial cyber-physical systems increase productivity in circular production. Existing reference architecture models map their logical structure but provide limited practical implementation guidance. This paper presents the procedural model for...

Unfavourably designed workplaces and processes may increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and limit the ability to work, especially of older workers. A workplace in the cosmetics industry demonstrates how the ema Work Designer can be...
