OBJECTIVES OF INTEGRATED DIGITAL PRODUCTION ENGINEERING IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

摘要

To appropriately meet the constantly rising market demands, the innovation topic “digital factory” has taken on key significance in the automotive industry. By means of a new integration concept – integrated production engineering – the three fields mechanics, electrics, and logic are more closely intermeshed using a so-called virtual resource model. In this context, two major challenges have to be mastered: the organizational and the functional integration. The prototypical realization of this integration concept is carried out on the basis of a practical scenario from the commercial vehicle development.
