Industrielle Robotersysteme: Entscheiderwissen für die Planung und Umsetzung wirtschaftlicher Roboterlösungen
by Andreas Pott Thomas DietzDieses Buch bietet eine Einführung in die Grundlagen des industriellen Robotereinsatzes und vermittelt Praxiswissen im Hinblick auf Planung, Umsetzung und Betrieb von Robotersystemen. Roboter haben sich als zuverlässige Werkzeuge in der Automatisierung bewährt. Sie sind in vielen Industriebereichen für die wirtschaftliche Produktion unentbehrlich. Die erweiterten Einsatzmöglichkeiten verursachen allerdings auch einen erheblichen Integrationsbedarf auf dem Weg vom »nackten« Roboter zu einer maßgeschneiderten Roboterlösung. Zur Auswahl der passenden Roboterlösung und zur effektiven Kommunikation mit Lieferanten und Kunden sind technisches Basiswissen, die Grundbegriffe der Robotik und ein umfassender Marktüberblick unverzichtbar. Die Autoren vermitteln praxisnah die notwendigen Grundlagen, um informierte Entscheidungen bei der Umsetzung von Robotersystemen zu treffen.

Industrielles Luftfahrtmanagement: Technik und Organisation luftfahrttechnischer Betriebe
by Martin HinschDieses Buch, das sich als Standardwerk in der Luftfahrtindustrie etabliert hat, beschreibt den Aufbau und die Aktivitäten luftfahrttechnischer Betriebe. Dies sind Unternehmen, welche Teile, Komponenten, Baugruppen und Triebwerke für Luftfahrzeuge oder die Luftfahrzeuge selbst entwickeln, herstellen oder instandhalten. Die technische Luftfahrtbranche weist erhebliche Spezifika auf, da deren Aktivitäten maßgeblich durch die Regularien der zuständigen Luftaufsichtsbehörden bestimmt werden. Somit nehmen die EU und die europäische Luftfahrtbehörde EASA erheblichen Einfluss auf Betriebsorganisation und Managementsystem, die Personalqualifizierung sowie die Leistungserbringung selbst. Diese Besonderheiten, Zusammenhänge und Abläufe werden im Buch sowohl aus Sicht des Luftrechts als auch aus dem Blickwinkel der betrieblichen Praxis thematisiert. In der 5. Auflage wurden die Vorgaben der EASA-Regelwerke aktualisiert und dabei insbesondere die Anforderungen zum Safety Management berücksichtigt. Neue Graphiken, Case-Studies und Praxis-Boxen verbessern die Praxisnähe.
The Industries of the Future
by Alec RossLeading innovation expert Alec Ross explains what's next for the world: the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next ten years, and how we can navigate them.While Alec Ross was working as Senior Advisor for Innovation to the Secretary of State, he traveled to forty-one countries, exploring the latest advances coming out of every continent. From startup hubs in Kenya to R&D labs in South Korea, Ross has seen what the future holds. In The Industries of the Future, Ross shows us what changes are coming in the next ten years, highlighting the best opportunities for progress and explaining why countries thrive or sputter. He examines the specific fields that will most shape our economic future, including robotics, cybersecurity, the commercialization of genomics, the next step for big data, and the coming impact of digital technology on money and markets. In each of these realms, Ross addresses the toughest questions: How will we adapt to the changing nature of work? Is the prospect of cyberwar sparking the next arms race? How can the world's rising nations hope to match Silicon Valley in creating their own innovation hotspots? And what can today's parents do to prepare their children for tomorrow? Ross blends storytelling and economic analysis to give a vivid and informed perspective on how sweeping global trends are affecting the ways we live. Incorporating the insights of leaders ranging from tech moguls to defense experts, The Industries of the Future takes the intimidating, complex topics that many of us know to be important and boils them down into clear, plainspoken language. This is an essential book for understanding how the world works--now and tomorrow--and a must-read for businesspeople in every sector, from every country.
Industry 4.0: Paradoxes and Conflicts
by Jean-Claude AndréDigital technology opens up extraordinary fields for applications that will deeply change the nature of jobs and trade, the very concept of work and the expectations of user–producers. The “masters of algorithms” have disrupted production and services, and this trend will continue for as long as electric energy and the elements of Industry 4.0 are in continued development. Beyond data control, a power struggle is working its way through the links in the value chain: intermediation, control of resources and command over human and physical networks, as well as partnerships, creativity and the political system. Industry 4.0: Paradoxes and Conflicts examines the need for a serious and technological review, as well as for research and training regarding citizenship and politics. This is a new situation in terms of relationships of competence and authority, which must be the subject of scientific as well as political reflections for the whole social body, which needs to be educated about choices. Throughout the book, the author poses the following question: instead of submitting to choices, would it not be better to exercise foresight?
