Researchers report on how production planning can be automated at the EMO Hannover Lunch-Talk Let’s Talk Science.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Efficient manufacturing stands and falls with its planning. And it is a highly complex process,” emphasizes Dr. Martin Erler from the Institute of Production Engineering (IF) at TU Dresden. “Automation of production planning is therefore the next ‘big thing’ in production. This is because production is becoming increasingly flexible, all the way to batch size 1, so its planning is becoming more and more complicated. In addition, planners have had to make many decisions up to now, the effects of which on production they can’t even accurately predict.” Erler and his team have been researching methods and technologies for automation for more than a decade. Learn what the researchers have discovered at Let’s Talk Science on March 29, 2023, at 11:30 a.m.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The importance of flexibility in manufacturing has increased immensely. Customer needs are changing faster than ever before, and online commerce is doing the rest. Companies must constantly adapt their production to remain competitive. “Human-based planning work can’t do all that,” Erler cautions. “Planners need digital tools and agile methods to meet the challenges. And last but not least, employees must, after all, be trained in the new processes.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
