The rapidly growing world population, the consequences of climate change and conventional agriculture as well as the limited resources of our planet threaten the food supply of humanity, especially with vital proteins. Therefore, innovation of agricultural systems is crucial for global food security and sustainable development. One proposed system is the cultivation of algae in artificially illuminated photobioreactors, which is a promising technology to limit land and water use. To achieve a competitive position between other agricultural systems and to reduce costs in a systematic and proactive approach, we suggest using Target Costing (TC) at an early stage of development. The paper aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in TC of agricultural systems. The authors identify a suitable approach for the economic evaluation of algae cultivation in bioreactors and adapt it specifically for the extraction of proteins. Based on this, different scenarios are discussed how a cost reduction of the existing systems can be achieved. The focus is on the reduction of energy costs, a suitable site selection and the use of side streams and products.

In recent research, force signals have been utilized to estimate the wear of tool components in sheet metal processing using, e.g., artificial neural networks (ANNs). ANNs learn predictive models from raw time series signals without requiring prior knowledge and manual feature engineering. However, ANNs are black-box models. Existing research on explainable AI provides methods to increase the transparency of ANNs, but mainly focusses on computer vision problems. This publication proposes an approach to learn explainable ANNs for time series data. The presented approach is applied to a tool wear prediction task using force signals from a fine blanking machine.

Water-miscible cooling lubricants are used in approx. 90% of metalworking processes mainly for lubrication and cooling of the contact zone between tool and workpiece. The base oils of the widely used water-miscible emulsions are often of mineral origin and represent a significant share of the CO2-fingerprint in production systems in terms of their extraction, processing and the possibility of recycling. Cooling lubricants are furthermore negatively discussed regarding to their health compatibility. Those disadvantages of conventional cooling lubricants drive the research for replacing mineral base oils with vegetable base oils, which contribute to a safer work environment and greener production. In this work, both conventional cooling lubricants and several water-miscible emulsions with various edible and non-edible vegetable-based oils were prepared and characterized regarding their suitability as cooling lubricants for the milling of aircraft stainless steels. Comprehensive experimental investigations were carried out to determine the process forces and the resulting tool wear as technical performance indicators for the test evaluation.
