Against this background, the “IFA Learning Factory” was
created as a further development of “IFA Production
Trainers” at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. The IFA
Learning Factory not only facilitates improved production
planning and control but also allows production to be
monitored using logistic models which utilize recorded
operating data. This paper describes the concept of the IFA
Learning Factory in relation to PPC and monitoring while at
the same time demonstrating how enterprises can both orient
their PPC on requirements through the development of cyberphysical
production systems and orient their production
monitoring on targets by implementing logistic models.
