MODULE 1
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 is answered
- What does “digital manufacturing” mean?
- In-depth understanding of IT landscapes and relevant industrial information systems and their modules (ERP, MES, etc.)
- A digital execution of production through 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 the IT infrastructure
- Cloud, on-premise and hybrid architectures
- Modern machine connection technologies
Project and change management
- Best practice approach for digitization projects as well as challenges and risks
- Agile project management
- Requirements for the organization and project members
MODULE 2
Industrial AI applications
On this day, the transformers will learn how AI can increase productivity in production. They will learn which challenges AI addresses, which data is required and how it is prepared for use in AI models. The selection and testing of suitable AI models and their implementation in production systems is also covered. An insight into data management and best practices for the introduction of AI solutions is provided.
Overview – what is answered
- How can artificial intelligence sustainably increase productivity? Step-by-step
- What challenges can be addressed by AI in production?
- What data is needed to address challenges through AI?
- How must data be prepared so that it can be used in an AI model?
- Which AI models are available to address challenges?
- How can I check whether the AI is suitable?
- How can AI be successfully implemented in production systems?
Processes – WHICH PROCESSES ARE CONSIDERED?
- Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining: theory and practice
- AI lifecycle in the production system through the DevOps process
IT Systems
- Databases, structures and pipelines
- Infrastructure for AI systems
Project and change management:
- Best practice for the introduction of an AI solution in the area of maintenance
- Ethical considerations and acceptance: Responsible AI
MODULE 3 (Pilot Factory)
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 are carried out end-to-end and what connections exist between these processes. They will 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 will know how to make production 100% paperless.
Overview – what is answered
- What is a modern detailed planning process?
- What is modern workforce scheduling like?
- Material and equipment-optimized production
- Sales order and stock order production strategy
- What does digital production execution look like using the example of SAP S4 HANA and SAP DMC?
- 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)
- Transportation and warehouse management system

Speakers
DI Dr. Farhang Akhavei
Farhang has many years of research experience in the fields of production and manufacturing control, automation technology and product lifecycle management and supports our team in the implementation of innovative MES projects.
Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Konrad Pfadenhauer
Konrad is a passionate consultant for MES and production-related processes across many industries. He has already been able to accompany many international customers on their individual digitalization path in production.
Dipl.-Ing.(FH) Sandra Wildeis
Sandra is an independent organizational developer, trainer and coach. Thanks to her many years of experience in industry, she is familiar with the challenges, potentials and paths in transformation projects from a holistic perspective in various roles – from production planner to production manager and HR manager – and as a lecturer and consultant.
Dipl.-Ing. Philipp Besinger
Philipp Besinger has been working at Fraunhofer Austria in the Digitalization and Competence Management Group since 2021. During his studies of industrial engineering at the Vienna University of Technology, he laid the foundation for his specialization in digitalization and AI applications in the production sector. At Fraunhofer Austria, he has established himself as an expert in the design, implementation and integration of cognitive assistance systems in production. With an interest in innovative approaches, he deals with methods such as knowledge graphs or large language models in order to use them profitably in industrial processes.
Benedikt Fuchs
Benedikt Fuchs has been working at Fraunhofer Austria in the field of work design and digitalization since January 2020, where he played a key role in the development of the topics “Industrial Digitalization Strategies” and “Data- and Trend-based Competence Management” as well as the establishment of corresponding research groups. As part of industrial contract research, he led numerous projects, including a multi-year series of projects to develop an AI-based learning assistance system to support employees in the production environment. Since 2023, he has headed the Digitalization and Competence Management group, in which he and his team develop human-centered solutions to strengthen operational knowledge management based on natural language processing methods.
