The goal is to enhance transparency, interpretability, and explainability in AI-driven decision-making processes as well as to increase the acceptance of AI within an industrial manufacturing area. The paper outlines the need of such a framework, describes the design process, and shows a preliminary mockup, a possible underlying software architecture as well as an evaluation and integration plan in an industrial environment.
