Intelligent Integrated Management and Advanced Metrology for Quality Toward the Factory of the Future

摘要

Intelligence is an essential feature of future development and production systems and intelligent production is a major component of future businesses, also according to the technological developments especially in the field of precision engineering at micro/nano and pico scale production. The problematic of the high accuracy of the work pieces in micro and nano technologies of the modern production systems according Industry 4.0 concept gained in the last years more and more importance through constantly increasing demands on the intelligent integrated management systems of the production processes. Together with the current trend towards high precision manufacturing and assembly systems, new challenges have emerged through the demand of complex shapes and functional topographies on the micro/nanoscale. On the other hand important charge of the environment, reduced availability of natural resources and the increasing growth of waste require new concepts and strategies to recycle technical consumer goods as there are household instruments, consumer electronics and passenger cars - instead of land filling, burning or steel production a high potential of recycling is necessary. This means that the integrated management system of quality, environment, energy, health & safety and information security in the manufacturing industry plays an essential role for the effective and efficient development of future industrial plants.
