The Production Technology Laboratory (PTL) is a joint event of the institutes wbk, IFL, IMI and ifab:

1. Information management for I4.0 (IMI)
2. VR-supported product development (IMI)
3. Parts production with CNC machines (wbk)
4. Sequence control of production systems (wbk)
5. Automated assembly (wbk)
6. Flexible material flow in the age of Industry 4.0 (IFL)
7. Identification in production and logistics (IFL)
8. Warehouse and order picking technology (IFL)
9. Production control (ifab)
10. Time management (ifab)
11. Implementation of workplace design (ifab)

Recommendations:

Participation in the following lectures:

• Information systems
• Material flow theory
• production engineering
• ergonomics

Learning objectives:

In the application-oriented production engineering laboratory practical course, students acquire broad and sound knowledge of the principles, methods and tools of production engineering in order to be able to evaluate and design complex production systems with regard to issues of production and process engineering, conveyor and handling technology, information technology as well as work organization and production management. After completing the laboratory, students will be able to

• solve given planning and design problems from the areas mentioned,
• assess and design processes at the factory, production and process level,
• fundamentally plan, control and evaluate the production of a company in the general cargo industry,
• design and assess the IT architecture in a manufacturing company,
• design and evaluate the appropriate conveyor, storage and picking technology for a production facility,
• design and evaluate parts production and assembly with regard to processes and workstations.

Compulsory attendance, limited number of participants. Registration via ILIAS

Workload of 120 h (=4 CP).

Proof: passed / failed

Regular participation in practical experiments and successful initial colloquia.

In order to deepen the knowledge acquired in the course, the theoretical lectures are supported by practical units in the environment of the Karlsruhe Research Factory(https://www.karlsruher-forschungsfabrik.de).

The theoretical lectures are complemented by practical lectures in the Karlsruhe Research Factory(https://www.karlsruher-forschungsfabrik.de/en.html) to deepen the acquired knowledge.
