After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• distinguish Information Systems, Production Information Management Systems (PIMS), Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) and their interrelations
• name, distinguish and explain PIMS architecture
• give examples of, apply and assess Requirements Engineering of PIMS for CPPS
• apply Business Process Management and modelling language (BPMN)
• describe and explain Process Mining methods
• discuss potentials of Cloud Services
• describe and define PIMS architecture for a specific CPPS use-case
• apply Requirements Engineering of PIMS for a CPPS use-case
• differentiate and formulate stakeholder and system requirements
• design and model a concept for PIMS

The ultimate goal is to develop advanced competences in information systems design as a prerequisite for cyber-physical production systems.

• • Importance of Data and Information in Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS)
  • Information Systems (IS)
  • Production Information Management Systems (PIMS)
  • Types of PIMS and the automation pyramid
  • Reference architectures of PIMS
  • Requirements Engineering
  • Requirements specification for PIMS in natural language and modelling languages (BPMN)
  • Business process management and process mining
  • Cloud services for PIMS
  • Case studies for PIMS
  • Design and modelling of use-case(s)

Flipped Classroom method

• Self-paced learning by means of assignments, e.g., watch lecture videos or prepare assignments - all mandatory
• Flipped Classroom Sessions for clarification (Q&A, discussions), short group exercises - mandatory participation

Exercise Assignment carried out in an independent group work on a case study

• ÖBB presents a simplified use case of train maintenance operation
• Groups prepare and submit assignment

The students of TU Wien will provide solutions for the problems of the use cases provided by OEBB within the framework of this course. For the avoidance of doubt, TU Wien does not assume any warranty or liability for the technical solutions proposed by the students.
