Hello, I'm Gunther Reinhart and I teach production engineering at the Technical University of Munich. Welcome to our module digitization in production of the online course, digitization in aeronautics and space. Just a few words about me. I studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, and I completed my PhD at the same university with assembly applications by robots. Later on, I took a lot of experience in industry as well as in science, experience about production technology, production Engineering and all. In industry I collected my experience together with BMW and with IWKA, which is a big production equipment manufacturing in Germany. Last but not least, I would like to announce that I am a member of the National Platform industry [inaudible] , what I will remark later on. My colleague Klaus Drechsler beside me, Klaus, would you like to introduce yourself? Yeah, my name is Klaus Drechsler, I'm the head of the Institute for Carbon Composites here at the Technical University of Munich. I studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart and completed my PhD there at the faculty of aerospace engineering. My industrial career started at [inaudible] in Autobahn and ended after some positions at time lot. I'm a [inaudible] EADS. So my background is aerospace and automotive, but always with a focal point of composite technologies. This will also be the focal point of our discussions today, adopting some examples how fiber placement technologies influence aerospace production technologies in the future. So hopefully we will have an interesting hour. Thank you. Digitization in Production is our topic today. We know that digitization has taken place in airplanes since several decades. Digitization in terms of airspace control, in terms of fly-by-wire, in terms of navigation or autopilots. Also in production, we use digital systems and digital approaches since several decades, beginning with the 1960s. Digitalization of Production means the automization of production, autonomous Production systems, assistance systems, or the connection of production modules or production equipment using digital linkage. But let me step one step back to production. What is Production at all? Production is the process beginning at the customer requirements up to the shipment of goods, and process steps of this chain are research and engineering, which is to define the product, the production planning, and department which prepares for production in terms of manufacturing of parts, assembly of products, facts of checks equality, and so on. Besides these steps, there's the Production Control Department with schedules, all those process steps for finishing a product and the materials scheduling which task is to procure, to supply the production with parts and materials. At the end of the chain downstream, find the goods being shipped. This is the chain of technical order processing downstream to the customer. Upstream in the other direction, goes the commercial aura processing chain, which means that mural of all the technical steps evaluated in money, typically departments are procurement, calculation, finance, and so on. Of course, those functions are supplied by other functions like HR, factory security, legal department, and so on. A corporate management observes, controls, monitors all those projects process steps, and controls the proper steps. This is the conventional order processing in a factory, what is now digitization. Let me step backwards to the Industrial Revolution. We all know from our history lessons at school that the first Industrial Revolution was inspired by James Watt with his steam engines driving a mechanical loom. This was in the 18th century. This was the first step against industrialization. It evoluted very properly and lot of machining and industrial processes have been mechanized and automized. Frederick Winslow Taylor founded the second Industrial Revolution. Proclaiming that labor in mass production can be divided into two parts, two segments, the brain work and the hand work. This means that in mass production, there are two kinds of people working. On the one hand, the white-collar people thinking, planning all those processes, and on the other hand, the blue-collar people doing, operating those plant processes. This was a huge entrance into mass production, into cheap products for everybody like cars, like dishwasher, and so on. In the 1960s, the third Industrial Revolution was introduced by integrating computers into production facilities into production machines like robots, like numerical control machines and so on. The first robot at all was introduced by the MIT in the US in 1965. Really in 1972, the first robots have been integrated in a car manufacturing plant in Germany. This was the beginning of this third area. In 1910, 1912, the fourth revolution raced into the factories using modern information technology equipment, modern software modules by doing Production chops. Production equipment has become more and more intelligent, interlinkable and was able to communicate in between or between human beings and machines. This was the area of Intelligent communication and connection of Production distance. This was the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, which we in Germany called Industrie [inaudible]. Why Industrie [inaudible] and not Industrie 4.0? Well, this is a German brand mark announcing all people in science, technology industry to be innovative using IT equipment, using modern software modules, using modern networks, computer networks. Well, industrie [inaudible] is not a product, you can't buy it anywhere. It is not a project and it's not the process. What is it? It's a companion asking people to use IT technology with production and therefore, we have a lot of features included with the term industry [inaudible] Features like assisting systems, big data, CPS, digital twin, and so on. A lot of features. We just want to introduce to you four of them, the cyber-physical systems, assistant systems, digital twin, and robotics. Those four features are major parts of modern factories right now. Let's start with cyber physical production systems, the CPS or psycho-physically Production Systems, the CPPS.
