Abstract

Nowadays, the socio-technical manufacturing environment faces numerous challenges due to digitalization and demographic change. Testing new technologies or applying them into ongoing manufacturing systems without reducing productivity is very difficult, but it is crucial to stay competitive. Learning factories are particularly suitable in such volatile and challenging times, as they offer a protected environment for applying new ideas and methods. Since learning factories today are mainly focused on technology and organization, they can no longer meet the aforementioned challenges. Therefore, this paper presents a new framework for learning factories that also considers human aspects using the example of the InnoLab at the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb).
