Production technology is a highly interdisciplinary field of research. It comprises different production domains (cutting, welding, forming, assembly, etc.), industry-sectors, materials and scales. Moreover, production has strong interdependencies with other scientific disciplines such as product development, materials engineering, business economics, information and communication technology, social science and natural science. Integrative Production Technology aims to develop a deep technology spanning perception to offer products matching customer and societal demands at competitive prices and to quickly adapt to market and societal changes while assuring constant and predictable product properties. The Cluster of Excellence (CoE) “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries” has initiated this special issue to present some of the newest results in the field.
Due to highly sophisticated, specialised models and data in production, digital twins, as defined as full digital representations, are neither computationally feasible nor useful. The complementary concept of digital shadows will provide cross-domain data access in real time by combining reduced engineering models and production data analytics.
