Lean Automation enabled by Industry 4.0 Technologies
Open accessAbstract
The Lean Production paradigm has become the major approach to create highly efficient processes in industry since the early 1990s. After the sudden end of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) era, which finally was doomed to fail due to its unrulable complexity of the required automation technology, the Lean approach was successful because of its high effectiveness by reducing complexity and avoiding non-value-creating process steps. Today, the term Industry 4.0 describes a vision of future production. Many people are at least skeptical or even hostile towards this new approach. This position paper gives an overview over existing combinations of Lean Production and automation technology, also called Lean Automation. Furthermore, it discusses major Industry 4.0 corner stones and links them to the well-proven Lean approach. Examples of combining both are smart watches for supporting the Andon principle or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) for a flexible Kanban production scheduling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
