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 industry partners.

The framework developed to date and the constantly refined toolchain should provide a solid basis for

• fast turnaround times in the development of e.g. worker assistance systems or fully automated production systems
• Iterative approach based on comprehensible 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 immediate results based on standard tools developed in Area 3
