Most assistive systems that have been presented have been developed for specific task, such as assembly support or warehouse picking, but there might be a huge uncovered design space to be explored. With this work, we want to step back from existing systems and analyze the design opportunities of assistive systems especially for small and medium-size enterprises (SME). To achieve this goal we conducted a study in four SME, consisting of observations and interviews.

The objective is to shorten the time between quoting for individually designed products and their production and delivery. Therefore, reliable automated and fast evaluation procedures are needed to ensure the quality of the individually designed products in terms of product safety and reliability. This paper aims to demonstrate how a metamodel, generated on simulated data, adapts to the type of product and delivers the required quality and evaluation procedure. The metamodel guarantees the requested characteristics of the final product without the consultation of human expert knowledge. As proof of concept, a simple, well-documented task from the field of construction has been chosen. The estimation from of the metamodel will meet all safety requirements, is based on the individual input variables and is confirmed without expert interaction. Fast, reliable prediction models deriving from complex simulation models are indispensable conditions for direct digital manufacturing. Using metamodels in automation contexts will be a foundation of manufacturing in future.}}, author = {{Scheideler, Eva and Ahlemeyer-Stubbe, Andrea}}, booktitle = {{Production engineering and management : proceedings 6th international conference, September 29 and 30, 2016 Lemgo, Germany }}, editor = {{Villmer, Franz-Josef and Padoano, Elio}}, keywords = {{Simulation, Metamodel, Computer experiment, Design of experiments}}, location = {{Lemgo}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{269--280}}, publisher = {{Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Expert Knowledge Systems to Ensure Quality and Reliability in Direct Digital Manufacturing Enviroments}}}, volume = {{2016}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inproceedings{4395, abstract = {{This paper presents the evaluation of a mixed reality communication system for the home domain, called roomXT.
