••• 15••• Innovationen Company’s door opener to Industry 4.0 Research project “Roboshield”: scientists make modern production facilities safe and secure M odern production facilities are to be safe for workers and have to be protected against external cyber-attacks. Within the “Roboshield” project, researchers work on safety and security con- cepts for small and medium-sized enterprises in Baden-Württemberg. “Digitization and interconnection cause the requirements to be met by modern production facilities to increase constantly,” says Dr. Christoph Ledermann, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). “With Roboshield, we want to help small enterprises to switch to Industry 4.0. First of all, the focus will be on preventing the components of the facility, such as robots, from injuring people.” In parallel, IT security is gaining importance: “Due to the current- ly observed cyber-attacks against production facilities, this topic is more pressing than ever,” says Dr. Christian Haas of Fraunhofer IOSB. Moreover, protection of the employees’ data must be ensured in the increasingly interconnected and sensor-equipped work envi- ronments. “Roboshield will cover all these aspects of safety and se- curity and, hence, may become the company’s door opener to In- dustry 4.0,” Haas says. For the companies to convert their facilities rapidly, at low costs, and safely, the research- ers work on tools and processes facilitating the development and operation of secure systems and facilities. In addition, a consult- ing center will be established. Here, companies will obtain ad- vice as to how a robot may be used in their production facility, which advantages this will have, and which provisions and regu- lations will have to be observed. The Roboshield experts plan to offer training courses on various topics, including the development of secure software. On the Open- Lab-Day on Thursday, February 21, 2019, at Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart, companies will have the opportu- nity to directly talk to experts and ask further questions. The Roboshield project focuses on the safety of human-robot collabora- tion. Photo: Fraunhofer IPA Anzeige ! " # ! $ % ! " # $ % # $ & % ' (' $ ) + , ' - % / 0'%1 & ' ) '*+-.
