Press release

The aim of the research project is to develop an innovative disruption management system for site assembly, in particular for individual and small batch assembly of large-scale products.

As a basis for the innovative disruption management, a database will be created that contains information on frequently occurring disruptions. A software demonstrator will then be developed to support companies in eliminating occurring disruptionsquickly and accurately.

If an employee enters a new disruptioninto the system, the software demonstrator identifies related disruptionsusing a multi-stage similarity search and automatically suggests suitable measures to rectify the fault.

Publications about the project

During the assembly of large-scale products, disruptions often occur. To reduce these disruptions, a straightforward approach to their systematic processing is needed. This should automatically identify similar disruptions and independently suggest sensible corrective measures. For this, the disruptions are first collected and characterized and a model for practical information flows is created. Then, in a multi-stage similarity search, similar disruptions are identified, and suitable corrective measures are derived.
