Configuration Manager for a Collaborative Learning Factory
摘要
A Collaborative Learning Factory (CLF) is used to train students and professionals in realistic production environments. In this environment, it is important to be flexible, adaptable and dynamic in responding to learning needs and technical requirements. The Configuration Manager ensures the coordination and management of all relevant variants, systems, assembly equipment and associated learning content. A Configuration Manager (CF) for a Collaborative Learning Factory serves as a central hub for managing processes, learning content, users, and data. It enables the creation of a flexible, efficient and safe learning environment that meets the needs of modern Industry 4.0 production environments. The integration of process planning into the CLF ensures that learners can gain hands-on experience. The CF complements an ERP system and manages the functionalities at a basic level. It is important to reduce complexity and convey key knowledge about the organisation of factory processes in a learning environment adapted to the learner’s level. The tool focuses on the flexible configuration of the product and adapts to the learning content to ensure both a practical and didactically appropriate training environment in the field of industrial production. The Configuration Manager is the central link between the learning modules and to the production processes.
