Synopsis
This seminal compendium, available through open access, illuminates the forefront of digital collaboration in production. It introduces the visionary concept of the Internet of Production (IoP), an ambitious initiative by Germany's esteemed Cluster of Excellence at RWTH Aachen University. This handbook pioneers the integration of data, models, and knowledge across development, production, and user cycles, offering interdisciplinary insights into production technology's horizons with the overall objective to create a worldwide lab.
The work is organized into seven key parts, each contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the IoP. Part I lays the foundation with interdisciplinary visions and concepts. Part II delves into IoP's infrastructure, encompassing digital shadows and actionable artificial intelligence. Part III examines materials within the digitalized production landscape. Part IV confronts the challenges and potentials of production processes under novel digitalization methods.
Part V focuses on production management with data-driven decision support, while Part VI explores agile development processes. Finally, Part VII delves into the interplay between internal and external perspectives in the IoP, human-centered work design, and platform-based ecosystems.
Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), this compendium redefines manufacturing through the transformative IoP lens. Embrace this scholarly endeavor to embrace technological advancement.
This is an open access book.

From 2006 to 2018, Prof. Brecher was spokesperson for the Cluster of Excellence"Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries" at RWTH Aachen University. In 2012, he founded the Aachen Centre for Integrative Lightweight Production (AZL) together with Prof. Hopmann. In 2018, Prof. Brecher was appointed Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT. Currently, Prof. Brecher is also, among other positions, spokesperson for the Cluster of Excellence EXC2023 "Internet of Production" (IoP) at RWTH Aachen University, spokesperson for the SFB/Transregio 96, Fellow of the International Academy of Production Engineering (CIRP), and member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech). In 2020 and 2021, he was President of the Scientific Society for Production Engineering (WGP).
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. Günther Schuh has held the Chair of ProductionEngineering at RWTH Aachen University and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University and the Fraunhofer-Institute for Production Technology (IPT) in Aachen. He is also Director of the Research Institute for Industrial Management at RWTH Aachen University (FIR e. V.). Additionally, he is one of the deputy spokesperson of the Cluster of Excellence "Internet of Production" at RWTH Aachen University. In 2005, Prof. Schuh initiated the RWTH Aachen Campus, a network of science and business with currently more than 420 technology companies.
As a scientist and entrepreneur, Prof. Schuh is concerned with disruptive innovations, information and production management, as well as sustainable mobility solutions. He supports the approach that complex interrelationships and systemic innovations require scientific and entrepreneurial collaboration. For more than 30 years, he has been working on issues of innovation and technology management, industrial production, and complexity management in industrial systems. With researchers and developers in the industry, he has repeatedly proven to develop cost-effective industrially manufactured products, especially electric vehicles, with Industry 4.0-based highly iterative development processes as well as new product and production architectures. In order to implement new mobility concepts into practice, he is still the founder of various companies that develop and produce mobility solutions. The focus is on holistic solutions to drive the transformation to new individual transport.
