Final theses

The ERP Lab is currently looking for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in the following fields: 

Project OberA

Together with 7 partners from practice (area Schweinfurt and Nuremberg/Erlangen) and 2 fellow professors, the ERP Lab carries out a project on the digitalization of manufacturing processes and processes close to manufacturing (ke word is Industry 4.0). For this, we are looking in general for Bachelor’s students to work on diverse tasks. Currently, we are looking for students who are able to investigate the influence of personnel availability and qualification on production planning, predictive maintenance for grinding machines, the factors influencing sequence planning or machine data required for process monitoring at the companies Emuge Franken in Rückersdorf and Kritzner in Schweinfurt.

Lab work

In the ERP Lab we aim at visualising ERP and thus want to establish exemplary processes in the field of IoT. The aim here is to investigate the integration of smartphones, indoor positioning, machine sensors and other technologies related to Industry 4.0 into order processing on the one hand theoretically and, on the other hand, to test or design them in the lab.

Theoretical work

We are also looking for students doing their Bachelor’s thesis who are interested in theoretical topics such as information processing, information selection as a basis for decision-making, gamification/ERP training, or IoT architectures.
