Description
The aim of the workshop is to familiarize participants with the concept of a hyperautomated factory and to show them what prerequisites need to be created for this. The importance of creating reference architectures will be explained in a practice-oriented manner.
Background:
Hyperautomated factories function completely autonomously without human intervention. This requires automation options to be applied and orchestrated not just partially, but across all workflows. Machines and production systems must be able to control, monitor and communicate with each other by autonomous means.
In today’s highly networked world, this is not only necessary within factories, but also across companies. Shared data spaces need to be created and rules defined on how process participants interact with each other, for example by defining framework conditions for “Smart Contracts”. This regulates under which conditions which data is automatically exchanged between the partners and how contracts are automatically triggered based on this. These and other framework conditions are essential to enable hyperautomated factories – they must be collected and documented in a structured manner. Reference models that map all relevant requirements, such as data flows, can be used for this purpose. As a result, the requirements are mapped clearly and uniformly and can be used for further planning and implementation.
This is where we contribute our expertise from the major project “Factory-X” funded by the EU and the BMWK, in which we at the August-Wilhelm Scheer Institute are responsible for creating precisely such reference models.

Target group
- The workshop primarily aims at practitioners in business process modeling who want to take on the challenge of modeling cross-value-added data spaces.
- In addition, the workshop addresses company representatives, experts and industry insiders who are interested in exchanging ideas on the holistic automation of factories.
- We are particularly pleased to welcome young researchers and students, for whom the workshop demonstrates real application scenarios for process modeling languages and provides initial insights into the development of automation requirements.
