Mobile Staff Planning Support for Team Leaders in an Industrial Production Scenario

Team leaders in industrial production scenarios face the problem of short-termed reactions to unforeseeable events in a factory. Adjustments in staff planning require many calculation and coordination efforts that consume valuable time. A mobile application is presented that assists team leaders in this challenging task. The selection and identification of relevant information, its case-specific processing and visualization as well as the persistence of worker data in a semantic network form the cornerstones of this work in progress.
