Integration of time management in the digital factory

Abstract

This paper reflects the current work on the integration of Time Management in the Digital Factory. To eliminate deficits in the integration of leading planning tools, a methodical approach was established in order to develop application protocols based on a systematic basis for the Digital Factory. Therefore, a joint project with both industrial and research partners has been initiated. Beside the fundamental methodology for the standardisation in the Digital Factory as further important result an interface between the software products Teamcenter Manufacturing and TiCon will be developed. © 2010 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
