Abstract:
The production process in manufacturing industries is getting more and more complex and demands dynamic solutions, which can react flexible on different events of the production environment (e.g. alerts). The mainly static production process could benefit a lot in efficiency, if the product environment would be smart and would help noticing tasks itself and delegating these intelligently to workers. This idea is main topic of the research project EPIK. Within this paper the project is introduced and the main system logic is displayed. This includes a description how the context data of the production environment is analyzed, which conclusions are drawn and how a detected task is assigned to the most appropriate worker.
