Description
Problem
In labor-intensive manufacturing systems (LIMS), there are “dark spots” in terms of data availability:
- Many manual processes are not digitally captured.
- This leads to limited transparency about worker activities, process execution, and bottlenecks.
- As a result, it is difficult to monitor, optimize, or automate decision-making for these manual tasks.
Goal
Increase data availability and process transparency in LIMS by applying machine-learning-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR):
- Automatically recognize and classify worker activities using accelerometer data.
- Generate event logs from previously unobserved manual work.
- Use these enriched datasets to support process analysis and performance monitoring.
Required Skills and Knowledge
- Process Mining
- Machine learning
- Software development
