A kind of next generation systems, those cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) are able to raise the level of autonomy of its production components. To find the optimal degree of autonomy in a given context, a research approach is formulated using a simulation concept. Based on requirements and assumptions, a cyber-physical market is modeled and qualitative hypotheses are formulated, which will be verified with the help of the CPPS of a hybrid simulation environment.}, language = {en} } @article{GronauBenderBertheauetal.2021, author = {Gronau, Norbert and Bender, Benedict and Bertheau, Clementine and Lauppe, Hannah}, title = {Robotic Process Automation statt neuem ERP-System}, series = {ERP-Management : Auswahl, Einf{\"u}hrung und Betrieb von ERP-Systemen}, volume = {17}, journal = {ERP-Management : Auswahl, Einf{\"u}hrung und Betrieb von ERP-Systemen}, number = {1}, publisher = {GITO mbH Verlag}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1860-6725}, doi = {10.30844/ERP_21-1_29-32}, pages = {29 -- 32}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Robotic Process Automation (RPA) steht f{\"u}r die softwareunterst{\"u}tzte Bedienung von Softwarel{\"o}sungen {\"u}ber deren Benutzeroberfl{\"a}che.

ERP systems in particular, which represent the dominant class of enterprise systems, are struggling to meet the new requirements at all levels of the architecture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reconsider the overall architecture of the systems and address the root of the related issues. Given that many restrictions ERP pose on their adaptability are related to the standardization of data, the database layer of ERP systems is addressed. Since database serve as the foundation for data storage and retrieval, they limit the flexibility of enterprise systems and the chance to adapt to new requirements accordingly. So far, relational databases are widely used. Using a systematic literature approach, recent requirements for ERP systems were identified. Prominent database approaches were assessed against the 23 requirements identified. The results reveal the strengths and weaknesses of recent database approaches. To this end, the results highlight the demand to combine multiple database approaches to fulfill recent business requirements. From a conceptual point of view, this paper supports the idea of federated databases which are interoperable to fulfill future requirements and support business operation. This research forms the basis for renewal of the current generation of ERP systems and proposes to ERP vendors to use different database concepts in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{TeichmannUllrichBenderetal.2018, author = {Teichmann, Malte and Ullrich, Andr{\´e} and Bender, Benedict and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Mobile IIoT-Technologien in hybriden Lernfabriken}, series = {Industrie 4.0 Management}, volume = {34}, journal = {Industrie 4.0 Management}, number = {3}, publisher = {GITO}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2364-9208}, doi = {10.30844/I40M_18-3_S21-24}, pages = {21 -- 24}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Der Wandel zur automatisierten Produktion, die fortschreitende Digitalisierung der Wertsch{\"o}pfungsprozesse sowie die stetige Implementierung von mobilen Industrial Internet of Things-Technologien (IIoT) in diese zur Unterst{\"u}tzung der Mitarbeiter stellen betriebliche Weiterbildung vor Herausforderungen.

Second, the case study revealed that the phenomenon of platform coring is present on digital platforms for mobile devices.
