Why this program and what is your benefit
A holistic understanding of digitization processes among those responsible in companies is fatefully decisive for the success or failure of digitalization projects. This insight has been gained in practice over the past years in several hundred digitalization projects by concircle and the Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies of TU Wien.
In view of the ongoing digital revolution on the one hand and the massive shortage of skilled workers on the other, the qualification of existing employees is the only way for manufacturing companies to master the challenges of digital transformation. This goal represents the main objective of the program.
In this effective and hands-on program, TRANSFORMERS for digital manufacturing are trained to have a good understanding of IT landscapes and digitalization processes, know how to align IT and processes and have insights into how efficient digital processes in production work end-to-end. In addition, they learn which challenges and special features must be taken into account in digital transformation projects and how to successfully design a digital transformation in production.
Your personal benefit
After this program…
- you become a manufacturing transformer in your company
- you know what is important in digitalization projects
- you have the necessary skills to make a powerful contribution to digitalization projects
- you know how digitalization projects should be organized, structured and designed
- you understand a digital factory end-to-end
- you are qualified to coach and motivate your employees in a targeted manner
MODULE 1 | July 11, 2023 | 09:00 – 17:30 (concircle office)
Business value, architecture, IT landscape and process
On this day, the transformers learn about different forms of IT architectures and IT landscapes in a manufacturing company as well as different system implementation strategies. They will also learn how to quantify, evaluate and present the added value in digitalization projects as well as methods for effective change management.
Overview – what will be answered
- What does “Digital Manufacturing” mean?
- Deep understanding of IT landscapes and relevant industrial information systems and their modules (ERP, MES, etc.)
- A digital execution of production through the MES system (based on ISA S95 Standard/VDA)
- Production processes, including production planning and scheduling
- Quality measures
- Maintenance measures
- Inventory measures
- Process modeling and efficient communication with external and internal consultants
Processes – WHICH PROCESSES ARE CONSIDERED?
- All processes and organizational units in the company that are relevant to production
- An end-to-end example process in discrete manufacturing
- Modeling according to BPMN Excursion with Cawemo and example process from customer order to delivery
IT Systems
- Modern IT architectures and systems
- Business requirements for IT infrastructure
- Cloud, on-premise and hybrid architectures
- Modern machine connectivity technologies
Project and change management
- Best practice approach for digitalization projects as well as challenges and risks
- Agile project management
- Requirements for the organization and project members
MODULE 2 | July 12, 2023 | 09:00 – 17:30 (IFT Tec Lab)
Digital product development process with CAD/CAM/CAQ and PDM
On this day, the transformers learn about the digital product creation process and modern software landscapes for effective and efficient product creation. They will also learn how to manage and evaluate product data along the manufacturing chain and which connections with the production processes must be taken into account.
Overview – what will be answered
- What is a digital product development process like?
- What does paperless work preparation look like?
- Data continuity between design, planning and production
- Product-relevant store floor data acquisition and management in production processes
- Virtual/digital twin in production? What is it and what advantages does it offer?
Processes – WHICH PROCESSES ARE CONSIDERED?
- Product development process
- Product data management
- Work preparation process
IT Systems
- IT landscape for product creation (CAD/CAM/CAQ)
- Product Data Management PDM
Project and change management
- Best practice approach for the implementation of an IT landscape for product development
MODULE 3 | July 13, 2023 | 09:00 – 17:30 (Pilot Factory Industry 4.0)
Paperless Production Planning and Execution – Digital Factory in Practice
On this day, the transformers will learn in practice how digital production planning, control and execution is carried out end-to-end and what interrelationships exist between these processes. They also learn about the role of relevant industrial information systems and their interfaces and understand how to implement IT landscapes for production. At the end of the day, the transformers know how to make production 100% paperless.
Overview – what will be answered
- What is a Modern Detailed Planning Process like?
- What is a Modern Workforce Scheduling Process like?
- Material and equipment-optimized production
- Sales order and warehouse order production strategy
- What does Digital Production Execution look like using SAP S4 HANA and SAP DMC as examples?
- Digital Intralogistics Process and Interaction with Production Processes
- Digital maintenance
- Digital quality assurance in production
- The critical role of master data
Processes – WHICH PROCESSES ARE CONSIDERED?
- Production planning process
- Production execution
IT Systems
- Relevant modules of the ERP system
- Production Execution System (MES)
- Transport and warehouse management system
Project and change management
- Best practice approach for the implementation of an integrated IT landscape for digital production

About us
In recent years, the Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies at TU Wien and the digitalization specialist concircle have encountered the problem again and again in various production-related IT projects that manufacturing transformers are lacking in sufficient numbers at many industrial companies. Namely, the specialists who understand the physical and digital processes end-to-end and who have the necessary skills. With this practical course, we would like to make a contribution to closing this gap in the Austrian industry.
