Development of an ISYS integration layer
for an interactive Industry 4.0 control station
The aim of the project was to research and design the foundations of new technologies for the ISYS-MES in order to develop a new generation of control stations. A suitable interface was developed in the sense of an "interactive control station of the Industry 4.0 generation".
In order to provide this interface with the necessary information and receive instructions, a technology was developed that bundled and standardized existing modular system structures on the data and process side.
Development of an Integrated Production Management Solution Platform 4.0
As part of the R&D project, an Integrated Production Management System (IPMS) was developed that combined the previously conflicting approaches according to VDI 5600 and ISA 88/95 in order to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0. A new architectural approach was developed that made it possible to implement a wide variety of system versions through configuration. This significantly reduced the costs for system installation and customizing.

Development of an information platform for the effective maintenance of WTG parks
Significant progress has been made in a joint project (VP4) to make the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms more efficient. The main aim of the project was to make a significant contribution to reducing electricity generation costs by optimizing these processes. A key challenge here was the development of universal technologies for the standardized control and execution of all maintenance processes.
By implementing a uniform and consistent data model, efficient operating and maintenance strategies could be developed and applied. This led to a significant reduction in the corresponding expenses of at least 25 %. An important sub-goal was the comprehensive documentation and use of data over the entire life cycle of the wind farms, from planning through to dismantling. Thanks to the diverse expertise of the alliance partners, this could be fully realized for the first time.
In addition, an innovative crew transfer technology based on underwater vehicles was developed as part of the project. This technology made it possible to drastically reduce dependence on the sea state and significantly extend the weather window for maintenance work - a problem that previously often impaired the efficiency of maintenance.
