Each direction has disadvantages ranging from the lack of computational power at the edge level to the reliance on stable network connections with the centralized approach. Thus, a hybrid approach with centralized and decentralized components that possess specific abilities and interact is preferred. However, the distribution of AI capabilities leads to problems in self-adapting learning systems, as knowledgebases can diverge when no central coordination is present. Edge components will specialize in distinctive patterns (overlearn), which hampers their adaptability for different cases. Therefore, this paper aims to present a concept for a distributed interchangeable knowledge base in CPPS. The approach is based on various AI components and concepts for each participating node. A service-oriented infrastructure allows a decentralized, loosely coupled architecture of the CPPS. By exchanging knowledge bases between nodes, the overall system should become more adaptive, as each node can "forget" their present specialization.}, language = {en} } @article{DragičevićUllrichTsuietal.2020, author = {Dragičević, Nikolina and Ullrich, Andr{\´e} and Tsui, Eric and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {A conceptual model of knowledge dynamics in the industry 4.0 smart grid scenario}, series = {Knowledge management research \& practice : KMRP}, volume = {18}, journal = {Knowledge management research \& practice : KMRP}, number = {2}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London [u.a.]}, issn = {1477-8238}, doi = {10.1080/14778238.2019.1633893}, pages = {199 -- 213}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Technological advancements are giving rise to the fourth industrial revolution - Industry 4.0 -characterized by the mass employment of smart objects in highly reconfigurable and thoroughly connected industrialproduct-service systems.

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.

The ability to cope with rapidly changing customer requirements and unexpected internal and external events guarantees robust and efficient production processes, requiring a dedicated control concept at the shop floor level. Yet in today's practice, conventional control approaches remain in use, which may not keep up with the dynamic behaviour due to their scenario-specific and rigid properties. To address this challenge, deep learning methods were increasingly deployed due to their optimization and scalability properties. However, these approaches were often tested in specific operational applications and focused on technical performance indicators such as order tardiness or total throughput. In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning based production control to optimize combined techno-financial performance measures. Based on pre-defined manufacturing modules that are supplied and operated by multiple agents, positive effects were observed in terms of increased revenue and reduced penalties due to lower throughput times and fewer delayed products. The combined modular and multi-staged approach as well as the distributed decision-making further leverage scalability and transferability to other scenarios.}, language = {en} } @book{Gronau2010, author = {Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Enterprise Resource Planning : Architektur, Funktionen und Managment von ERP-Systemen}, series = {Lehrb{\"u}cher Wirtschaftsinformatik}, journal = {Lehrb{\"u}cher Wirtschaftsinformatik}, publisher = {Oldenbourg}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, isbn = {978-3-486-59050-0}, pages = {314 S.}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @book{Gronau2004, author = {Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Enterprise Resource Planning und Supply Chain Management : Architektur und Funktionen}, series = {Lehrb{\"u}cher Wirtschaftsinformatik}, journal = {Lehrb{\"u}cher Wirtschaftsinformatik}, publisher = {Oldenbourg}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, isbn = {3-486-27265-9}, doi = {10.1524/9783486593266}, pages = {314 S.}, year = {2004}, language = {de} } @misc{GrumKoerppenKorjahnetal.2022, author = {Grum, Marcus and K{\"o}rppen, Tim and Korjahn, Nicolas and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Entwicklung eines KI-ERP-Indikators}, publisher = {Center for Enterprise Research, Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {27}, year = {2022}, abstract = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz (KI) gewinnt in zahlreichen Branchen rasant an Bedeutung und wird zunehmend auch in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)-Systemen als Anwendungsbereich erschlossen.

For modelling and analysis of these processes the modelling technique KMDL (Knowledge Modeling and Description Language) has been developed. KMDL is a method to describe knowledge flows and conversions along and between business processes. Thereby KMDL identifies existing and utilized information as well as knowledge of individual participants and of the entire company. This research-in-progress contribution introduces a practical example in the field of software engineering, in which KMDL models are evaluated to identify process improvements, e.g. by adding knowledge management activities. Therefore three individual views focussing on selected aspects of interest are introduced.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GrumKlippertAlbersetal.2021, author = {Grum, Marcus and Klippert, Monika and Albers, Albert and Gronau, Norbert and Thim, Christof}, title = {Examining the quality of knowledge transfers}, series = {Proceedings of the Design Society}, volume = {1}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Design Society}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {2732-527X}, doi = {10.1017/pds.2021.404}, pages = {1431 -- 1440}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Already successfully used products or designs, past projects or our own experiences can be the basis for the development of new products. As reference products or existing knowledge, it is reused in the development process and across generations of products. Since further, products are developed in cooperation, the development of new product generations is characterized by knowledge-intensive processes in which information and knowledge are exchanged between different kinds of knowledge carriers. The particular knowledge transfer here describes the identification of knowledge, its transmission from the knowledge carrier to the knowledge receiver, and its application by the knowledge receiver, which includes embodied knowledge of physical products. Initial empirical findings of the quantitative effects regarding the speed of knowledge transfers already have been examined. However, the factors influencing the quality of knowledge transfer to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer in product development have not yet been examined empirically. Therefore, this paper prepares an experimental setting for the empirical investigation of the quality of knowledge transfers.}, language = {en} }
