The purpose of this paper is to propose a theory-based knowledgedynamics model in the smart grid scenario that would provide a holistic view on the knowledge-based interactions among smart objects, humans, and other actors as an underlyingmechanism of value co-creation in Industry 4.0. A multi-loop and three-layer - physical, virtual, and interface - model of knowledge dynamics is developedby building on the concept of ba - an enabling space for interactions and theemergence of knowledge. The model depicts how big data analytics are just one component inunlocking the value of big data, whereas the tacit engagement of humans-in-the-loop - theirsense-making and decision-making - is needed for insights to be evoked fromanalytics reports and customer needs to be met.}, language = {en} } @article{GrumBenderAlfaetal.2018, author = {Grum, Marcus and Bender, Benedict and Alfa, A.

With the aim of developing a flexible and efficient design for analytical infrastructures, this paper proposes a flexible architecture model, which allocates tasks following a machine-specific decision heuristic. A simulation benchmarks this system with existing strategies and identifies the new decision maxim as superior in a first scenario-based simulation.}, language = {en} } @article{LassGronau2020, author = {Lass, Sander and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {A factory operating system for extending existing factories to Industry 4.0}, series = {Computers in industry : an international, application oriented research journal}, volume = {115}, journal = {Computers in industry : an international, application oriented research journal}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0166-3615}, doi = {10.1016/j.compind.2019.103128}, pages = {8}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Cyber-physical systems (CPS) have shaped the discussion about Industry 4.0 (I4.0) for some time.

Adaptability and coping with complexity are (among others) potentials of this new generation of production management. The successful transformation of this theoretical construct into practical implementation can only take place with regard to the conditions characterizing the context of a factory.

The result of this paper is an empirical evidence showing whether and how these factors affect the perception of potential benefits and risks expected within the context of open innovation project participation. Furthermore, the identified effects are discussed against the theory. Existing theory regarding the benefits and risks of open innovation is expanded by (1) finding that they are perceived mostly independently of the factors, (2) confirming the practical relevance of benefits and risks, and (3) enabling a finer distinction between their degrees of relevance according to respective contextual specifics.}, language = {en} } @article{EggertGronau2006, author = {Eggert, Sandy and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Anbieter {\"u}bersch{\"a}tzen Wandlungsf{\"a}higkeit ihrer ECM-L{\"o}sungen}, year = {2006}, language = {de} }
