Currently the control of constantly increasing market dynamics and the simultaneously increasing individualization of process chains represent the central challenges for manufacturing companies. These challenges are caused by a lack of transparency in production planning, non-real-time processing of data as well as poor communication between the planning and control level. The research project ProSense addresses this problem and intends to eliminate the current problems in production by developing a high-resolution, adaptive production control based on cybernetic support systems and intelligent sensors. Through the development of a cyber-physical production control as one part of the project, which forms the basis for an innovative self-optimizing advanced planning system, ProSense provides a contribution to accomplish the goals of industry 4.0.
