Abstract
Abstract Digital transformation affects many aspects of our everyday lives. This paper focuses on challenges and opportunities in the area of factory automation. It presents the layout and components of the Pilotfabrik Industrie 4.0 of TU Wien as an example of a modern, flexible, and highly digitized smart factory. Furthermore, the paper presents use cases that were implemented based on the available IoPT devices in the Pilotfabrik Industrie 4.0. The first use case aims to improve product quality by detecting chatter – a vibrational phenomenon in machine tools – and taking appropriate countermeasures. The second use case tries to predict tool breakage by closely monitoring the power consumption of the machine tool and, thus, reducing the probability of damaged products.
