The overarching goal of Area 3 “Process-Based Manufacturing Orchestration” is to provide a methodological and theoretical framework as well as a software toolchain for the introduction, efficient implementation and management of intra- and inter-organizational production processes for our industrial partners.

The framework developed to date and the constantly refined toolchain are intended to provide a solid foundation for:

• fast throughput times during development, e.g. worker assistance systems or fully automated production systems.
• Iterative approach based on understandable artifacts in the design of such systems.
• A solid foundation for data collection and aggregation with automatic contextualization based on production processes modeled in modern graphical modeling languages.
• A solid foundation for data analysis with heuristic and machine learning methods that allows to skip the typical ETL approach and enable instant results based on standard tools developed in Area 3.
