In order to establish DED processes for different series sizes in vehicle production, it must be possible to store, process and securely provide a wide variety of data across the entire process chain. The data should also be utilised to add value by means of intelligent processes.

The challenge
The task of iSYS is to set up a distributed, replicated data storage system that can store a wide variety of object types efficiently and scalably and make them available at all process levels without jeopardising data integrity. In addition, iSYS is responsible for data modelling and model implementation, whereby structured and unstructured data as well as multimedia data types are used. A further objective is to standardise and prepare the data collected during the DED process for further analysis. Machine learning methods will then be used to analyse the data with the aim of gaining new insights for a priori maintenance of plant components (predictive maintenance). Decision-making aids are generated from the data in order to increase the quality standards of the components produced (predictive quality).
