Abstract
It is known that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. In production for each machine a lot of information is available due to today’s integration of automatic data recording. In this context, one way of representing the whole is the modeling as a complex network. Yet, present complex network analysis tools can either not manage the amount of data of such systems or neglect their dynamic behavior. Therefore, we present a tool, which meets these requirements of the logistic field, and demonstrate its abilities for a real-world example.
