After the initiator of the ESB Logistics Learning Factory, Prof. Vera Hummel had made experience in developing and implementing a concept for a Learning Factory for Advanced Industrial Engineering (aIE) at the University of Stuttgart, Institute IFF between 2005 and 2008, she was appointed as a full professor at ESB Business School, a faculty of Reutlingen University in March 2010. Lacking a realistic, hands on learning and teaching environment of industrial scale for its industrial engineering students, first ideas for a Learning Factory that would strongly focus on all aspects of production logistics were drafted in 2012. Already back then, a strong integration of virtual and physical factory was desired: While the Learning Factory itself would be physical, the neighboring partners along the supply chain, such as suppliers or distribution warehouses, could be added in a fully virtual way. Considering implementation of the ESB Logistics Learning Factory a strategic initiative of the university, initial funding was provided by the faculty ESB Business School itself. Following its own creed, to provide future-oriented training for the region, also primarily local suppliers and manufacturers were selected as equipment providers to the new Learning Factory. During the initialization phase, 2014, a total of three researchers and nine students worked approximately four months to set up a first assembly line, storage racks, AGVs, or pick-by-light systems in conjunction with the underlying didactical concept. Since then, several hundred of students have participated in trainings and lectures held in the ESB Logistics Learning Factory, several research projects were carried out, and multiple high-level politicians and industry executives have been touring the shop floor. Also, more than EUR 2 million in research and infrastructure funds could be secured for expansion and upgrade — allowing the ESB Logistics Learning Factory today to represent many core aspects of an Industrie 4.0 production environment.
Der Girlboss Mythos : die gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Perspektiven der Gender-Debatte
(2019)
Faktisch sind Frauen heute gleichberechtigt. Sie haben die gleichen Chancen, Rechte und Möglichkeiten wie Männer. Dennoch weisen maßgebliche Studien darauf hin, dass die Anzahl von Frauen auf allen Führungsebenen stagniert oder nur im Schneckentempo wächst. In der medialen Diskussion rund um das Thema Frauen im Management ist die Welt auf den ersten Blick in zwei Lager geteilt. Ein Lager stellt ernüchtert fest, dass Frauen selbst Schuld sind an ihrer Situation. Oft werden hier gerade erfolgreiche Frauen zitiert, die ihren Geschlechtsgenossinnen den nötigen Erfolgswillen oder die Opferbereitschaft absprechen. Das andere Lager scheint die Sachlage genau entgegengesetzt zu beurteilen. Überall gut ausgebildete, hochmotivierte Frauen, die an Glasdecken stoßen oder denen von der Gesellschaft im Allgemeinen und Männern im Besonderen die Türen versperrt werden. Dieses Buch trägt zu einer wissenschaftlich nüchternen Diskussion bei, um die aktuelle gesellschaftspolitische Situation differenzierter und abseits von abgegriffenen Dogmen zu betrachten.
Indoor localization systems are becoming more and more important with the digitalization of the industrial sector. Sensor data such as the current position of machines, transport vehicles, goods or tools represent an essential component of cyber physical production systems (CCPS). However, due to the high costs of these sensors, they are not widespread and are used mainly in special scenarios. However, especially optical indoor positioning systems (OIPS) based on cameras have certain advantages due to their technological specifications. In this paper, the application scenarios and requirements as well as their characteristics are presented and a classification approach of OIPS is introduced.
Research organisations are not only contributing to sustainable development but also contribute to scientific findings. As key influencers of innovation; employers and publicly funded research organisations not only have the social mandate to deal with their responsibilities regarding the environment and society, but also drive to understand their social responsibility for their employees and the impact on research and operational processes. Sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), this paper presents the results of the joint research project; LENA—Guidelines for Sustainability Management and describes how 3 of Germany’s biggest research organisations (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Leibniz Association and Helmholtz Association) face current challenges in human resource management of research organisations by the integration of a common understanding of sustainability and a broad-based framework. The empirical basis is built by a qualitative organisational ethnographical study which reflects the expert knowledge, everyday experiences and the subject-oriented interpretation of sustainability in human resource management. The result derives concrete recommendations for the institutional practice and offers structured and methodologically proven options for action addressing the stakeholders in human resource management in research institutions.
