Project title Development of a method for selecting digital tools to increase planning efficiency in factory planning (AWeFaP)
Project duration 01.05.2025 – 30.04.2027

The AWeFaP research project aims to increase planning efficiency in the factory planning process through the targeted use of digital tools. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, are to be supported in the selection of suitable tools through a systematic methodology.

The starting point is the realization that there is currently no structured overview of planning cases, suitable tools, and their data requirements. The project is therefore developing a description system for typical planning cases and a clustering of digital tools. In addition, a standardized structure for input and output data is being developed to increase data consistency. The selection method derived from this will be implemented in a software demonstrator and validated in practice.

This will enable SMEs to plan in a more targeted, economical, and high-quality manner. In addition to new factory buildings, reorganization projects will also benefit from the results.
