Parametrization of a Hybrid Component Production Process Chain Based on Semantically Annotated Data

Abstract

The development of a novel manufacturing process chain is a complex scientific challenge and requires interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as technological solutions that extend the boundaries of automation and customize the information flows between different organizational units. Due to these challenges an approach to parametrize each step in the production chain and its careful documentation must be considered. This publication describes an approach to provide seamless digital access to sample and processrelated data through semantic annotation. In this way, it can be traced how and with which process layouts of the individual process steps a sample was manufactured along the process chain. The implementation of the approach is shown in the example of a novel process chain for the production of multi-material bearing washers within the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1153. A workflow based on a semantic annotation using a domainspecific vocabulary is presented, which allows to obtain the necessary process parameter values according to the individual requirements of the multi-material component.
