The level of automation in intralogistics has steadily increased over recent years. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), however, the associated digital change is a major challenge. Since most SMEs are facing increasing sales volumes (e.g. due to e-commerce and good overall economy) in combination with decreasing lot sizes due to the market demand for individualized products, SMEs have to find innovative solutions to cope with these challenges in production as well as in logistics. Innovative technologies, like 3D printing technologies for the production for small lot sizes and future-oriented intralogistics technologies can serve as enablers in logistics to realize flexible logistic processes for increasing market requiremments. Considering that, this paper examines innovative and future-oriented technologies for intralogistics such as smart containers, driverless forklift systems, data glasses, smart shelves and smart pallets regarding their potential for SMEs. This explorative research paper shows that digital technologies are already suitable and available for SMEs.However, challenges are still seen in areas like the identification and digitalization potential and the financing of these new projects. The primary reason escpecially for SMEs for this is that they have to make investments based on an economically feasible payback period and less based on prestigious reasons like digitalization flagship projecs done by large corporations. In addition, the identification of feasible starting points for digitalization within intralogistic systems embedded in specific factory processes is a major challenge not only for SMEs.
This paper looks at the case of Reutlingen University (Hochschule Reutlingen), a university with a reputation for international student mobility. It examines how the university strives to fulfil its mandate to prepare ‘industry-ready’ graduates for the global industry by providing an international practice-oriented education. The key focus is on its efforts to establish credit-bearing internship programmes for international students, an area where the institution has ramped up its activities in recent years. Internships for international students is understood to encompass both domestic internships for international students (exchange and degree-seeking students) as well as internships abroad for home-grown degree-seeking students. The paper presents models and approaches that seek to ensure the quality of the international internship experience. It discusses challenges that the university has encountered on the way and makes suggestions about how to create internship opportunities against the backdrop of competing demands and expectations.
The success of an autonomous robotic system is influenced by several not easily identifiable interdependent factors. This paper is set to lay the foundation of an integrated approach in order to examine all the parameters and understand their contribution to success. After introducing the problem, two autonomous systems for the process of unloading of containers are presented. Then a recently developed method for modelling and interpreting all the parameters, the STIC analysis, are introduced. The preliminary results of applying such a methodology to a first study case is shortly presented. Future research is in the end recommended in order to prove that this methodology is the only way to overcome barriers to the investment in autonomous systems in the logistics sector.
Unternehmertum ist ein integraler Bestandteil des Ernuerungsprozesses von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Erneuerer sind nicht Politik oder Management, es sind einzelne Persönlichkeiten, die wagen, mit etwas zu beginnen, dessen Ausgang ungewiss ist, die ungebremst Kraft und Fähigkeiten einsetzen, mit der Folge, dass am Ende etwas Neues erschaffen worden ist. Wenn in wirtschaftlichen, kirchlichen, staatlichen, wissenschaftlichen und politischen Bereichen wirksam und innovativ gearbeitet wird, sind möglicherweise die gleichen personalen Talente und Gaben wirksam...Oft ist es eine Idee, ein motivierendes Bedürfnis, das sich Ausdruck verschafft in Handlungen, fast unabhängig von der Ausbildung oder einem begonnenen Studium. Man kann methodisches Know-how aufbauen, jedoch nicht Unternehmertum lernen.
Im Fokus der AG stand in erster Linie die Auseinandersetzung mit Konzepten und Praxismodellen aus den Lehrangeboten der Sprachzentren ... Es ging ... um Themen und Aspekte, die noch nicht in den GER aufgenommen und beschrieben sind, um die Grenzen und Lücken des GER; die das Thema des 6. Bremer Symposiums waren : interkulturelle, soziale, strategische und mediatorische Kompetenzen.
Nachdem Unternehmen Klarheit über das Kundenverhalten und die damit zusammenhängenden Determinanten haben, gilt es, in einem zweiten Schritt eine Strategie auszuarbeiten, die die bestmögliche Befriedigung der Kundenbedürfnisse in den Mittelpunkt des Handelns setzt. Je besser dieses den Unternehmen gelingt, umso besser lassen sich damit deren eigene Ziele verwirklichen. Dabei gilt es zunächst, einen Marketingplan zu entwickeln.
