"Tangible Industry 4.0: a scenario-based approach to learning for the future of production";
Procedia CIRP, 54 (2016), 13 - 18.

Industry is currently undergoing a transformation towards full digitalization and intelligentization of manufacturing processes. Visionary but
quite realistic concepts such as the Internet of Things, Industrial Internet, Cloud-based Manufacturing and Smart Manufacturing are drivers of
the so called Fourth Industrial Revolution which is commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. Although a common agreement exists on the necessity
for technological advancement of production technologies and business models in the sense of Industry 4.0, a major obstacle lies in the perceived
complexity and abstractness which partly hinders its quick transformation into industrial practice. To overcome these burdens, we suggest a
Scenario-based Industry 4.0 Learning Factory concept that we are currently planning to implement in Austria's first Industry 4.0 Pilot Factory.
The concept is built upon a tentative competency model for Industry 4.0 and the use of scenarios for problem-oriented learning of future production
engineering.
