Project description
Industry 4.0 is the connection between, and introduction of, IT into operational technologies and production systems on the shop-floor. This leads to new operating models of a wide variety of sensors within production, which serves as the basis for a Smart Factory. A Smart Factory is able to operate completely autonomously without major human interaction. This is made possible through communication among the product and production machines via e.g. RFID, Bluetooth or QR-codes. In this process, IT-Security is usually neglected or attached with little significance, especially during the design and concept development of a Smart Factory. The introduction of IT-Security measurements at a later stage often inevitably results in high effort and cost on resources, capital and time.

Project objectives

The project aims at designing and developing a concept of a Smart Factory from an IT-Security perspective. In a first step, the basic requirements of IT-Security for operational technology and production systems have to be identified. Based on an example factory, the concept of the secure Smart Factory will be developed.

Project tasks

The project is split into two tasks.

1.       Analysis of IT-Security requirements of operation technologies and production systems

2.       Development of a secure Smart Factory concept

Target group

Students from the majors Computer Science, Computational Science and Engineering, Logistics and Mobility, Mechanical Engineering preferred.
