Shortening product lifecycles and intensifying individualization challenge companies to delivery products on time and to customers´ needs. To enhance efficiency in production digitization counts as mean to reach performance targets. An integrated part for achieving the logistic goals describes the effect of digital technologies on the information flow between and within processes of order fulfillment. Next to modeling information flow, key performance indicator are required for being able to retrace and quantify the effect of digital technologies. Hence, this paper describes a framework that integrates key performance indicators for information flow into a modeling approach to improve digital production processes.

Uncertainty and incompleteness of data challenge the design of knowledge systems for problem solving in shopfloor management. The paper proposes a data-driven design that incorporates traditional means of quality management and goals of production planning and control. It integrates data of a failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) and an 8D problem-solving process into a Bayesian network (BN) embedded case-based reasoning (CBR) cycle. Reducing inconsistencies within the BN, an optimization method uses scoring schemes and structural equation modeling for learning its structure. The results suggest that the optimized BN-CBR system outperforms the single use of CBR in terms of accuracy.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is especially interesting for applications in industries with high quality requirements. There are different expensive and time-consuming strategies for quality assurance. A cheaper and faster approach is to analyze the data acquired during fabrication. In this work Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are investigated as a tool for data analysis of meltpool monitoring data. The goal is to automatically distinguish between porous and non-porous part regions. Therefore, the training data is categorized based on CT-scans of the test specimens. For increased interpretability of the results, Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Maps (Grad-CAM) are used.

Hydrogen is one of the most promising solutions for decarbonising the industrial sector, particularly the chemical and steel industries. To utilise hydrogen as a mobile energy carrier in heavy-duty applications such as transportation, it is necessary to convert the chemically bound energy into electrical energy to power electrical systems. Fuel cell technologies, in particular Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), are crucial in this regard, as they efficiently convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water. It is expected that production capacity will continue to grow, especially in the heavy-duty sector, and that the need for development will increase significantly. As a result, larger numbers of PEMFCs will reach the end of their life cycle. Successful closed-loop production requires optimising material use, making production processes more efficient, and recovering valuable materials. In order to optimise material, use and recover valuable resources such as platinum and fluorine-containing polymers and extend the product life cycle through reuse, aspects such as disassembly, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling must be considered before mass production. This publication aims to provide an overview of disassembly strategies and technologies for PEMFC stacks used in heavy-duty applications. It analyzes the general structure and layout of PEMFC stacks, with a focus on the Bipolar Plate (BPP), the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) and the gaskets or seals. Various materials and designs of these components result in a wide spectrum of requirements regarding the handling and disassembly technologies. The outcome is a matrix show casing potential disassembly technologies for common PEMFC stack layouts, along with the expected limitations arising from different component and material combinations and their characteristics. The results of these investigations enable a more efficient development of automated disassembly processes for PEMFCs by providing app
