Service-Support through Semantic Web-Technologies

Initial Situation

■ For complex machines and devices failure resolution requires huge amount of know-how

■ Service employees spend much time on information retrieval (e. g. in failure-databases)

■ Simple information retrieval technologies do not bring forth high quality results in adequate time

Objectives

■ Support of service-hotlines during retrieval of similar service-cases through the utilization of semantic web-technologies

■ Implementation of a software prototype

Results

■ Algorithms for the retrieval of similar service-cases on the basis of meaning insteadof simple syntax (usage of ontologies)

■ Web-based database solution to ease service-case acquisition and retrieval

■ The projects aims at the development of specific technologies and methods to realize an efficient and economic operation of versatile supply chains.

Results

■ positioning system based on optical technology

■ versatile warehouse management system

■ system for 3D object recognition

■ method for plannung and evaluation of versatility

Automatisierte, CAD-basierte Kalkulation und Konstruktion (AutoKalK)

Initial Situation

■ Tool manufacturers must improve revenue and expense of their tender preparation

■ Production processes are to be planed flexibly in dependence of mould design and the trend of costs during the tool production is to be supervised

Objectives

■ The project’s aim is to develop a method for automated CAD model creation and CAD-based costing of tools

Results

■ Automated strip chart-based generation of CAD models

■ Automated and CAD-based costing and monitoring using artificial intelligence algorithms

(electrical / software engineer required)(electrical / software engineer required)Initial Situation

■ Over 67% of the total production costs of granite flaggings and boards are determined by the abrasive cutting process

■ Major energy and material costs are caused by high chipping ratios (cutting width / board width ~ 1)

Objectives

■ Development of a smart cutting tool that allows to reduce the cutting-wheel width as well as the risk of cut deviations

Results

■ Integration of measuring technology into the cutting-wheel for data acquisition (piezo-electric sensor) and preprocessing (chip)

■ Wireless data transfer to machine control

■ Reduction of cut deviations by automatedcontrol mechanisms
