  text: With the trend towards shorter product lifecycles, smaller batch sizes, and
    more product variants, the complexity of manual assembly activities is increasing.
    To support employees in carrying out complex assembly tasks, the use of assembly
    instructions is indispensable to ensure high process capability and work productivity.
    However, the creation of assembly instructions is often time-consuming. Thus,
    the use of automation approaches can be a way to simplify the creation of assembly
    instructions. Therefore, this paper introduces a promising automation concept
    for applying robotic process automation (RPA) to generate assembly instructions
    automatically. Finally, the automation concept is demonstrated in a practical
    use case that illustrates the associated automation potential of RPA.

  text: Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have become the industry standard and
    have replaced hard-wired electrical devices used to control production equipment.
    With its advanced use, the PLC is increasingly becoming an important part of engineering.
    Therefore, it is essential to effectively teach students how PLCs work and how
    to program them through practical exercises. The goal of this paper is to present
    a training set used to program a PLC that fulfills the needs of industrial engineering
    students. The training set presented here allows students to learn about different
    industrial applications of PLCs, and to program such PLCs themselves.

  text: The maintenance of a tool for injection molding or forming is usually accompanied
    by its disassembly and assembly. The duration of the assembly activities is often
    a large part of the total activity time for the maintenance of the tool. The degree
    of performance of the employees in the execution of these disassembly and assembly
    activities is often low. In addition, allowances occur (e.g. searching for work
    equipment). At the Industrial Engineering Lab of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University
    of Applied Sciences, a prototype of an assistance system was developed to support
    the assembly activities in toolmaking. With the help of this system, the operator
    is guided step by step through the assembly process. The economic potential of
    the system exists in the reduction of training times, the avoidance of assembly
    errors and the increase of labor productivity.
