Presenting CliCE-DiPP Results at the iV 2025

/in , , , , , /by

A week ago, I had the opportunity to present our latest results from the CliCE-DiPP research project at the iV conference in Darmstadt. It was about two analysis solutions around sustainable production. One paper[1] was about the analysis of resource consumption and CO2 emissions over the entire production cycle, using a new approach based on process mining. The second paper[2] dealt with the analysis of digital product passwords in terms of CO2 emissions over their entire life cycle.

The conference was also a nice reunion with a number of former colleagues and project partners. And of course, the conference offered lots of interesting presentations on AI and visualization as well as plenty of exciting talks and technical discussions.

The International Conference on Information Visualisation (iV) is a unique platform that brings together academia, industry researchers, and societal agencies. It offers a space to share practical solutions for multidisciplinary applications with societal impacts. Beyond the research forum, it hosts the Doctoral Research Programme for PhD training and a researchers link session for collaborative research project design, providing unparalleled opportunities for learning and collaboration.
The conference theme covers Information Visualization, Visual Analytics, and AI-centred Visual Knowledge Discovery. Its structure adapts to the subject’s evolving and developments. The focus is on applying these fields that have a societal impact, such as Knowledge Visualization, Learning Analytics, and Digital Humanities Knowledge Visualization.

Two Paper Accepted at iV 2025 Conference

/in , , , , /by

Today, I received the good news that my two submitted papers were accepted for this year’s International Conference on Information Visualisation, taking place in Darmstadt.
In the present information era, most aspects of our lives depend on and are driven by data, information, knowledge, user experience, and culture. Information Visualisation, Visual Analytics, Business Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science are only a few research areas of the current state of the art, enabling to increase of the comprehension of the information on which is based the infrastructure of our society. The International Conference on Information Visualisation is concentrated on these hot topics.  As in the previous edition, this year, there will be the opportunity to start international cooperation and European research projects and discuss with international relevance keynote speakers. The conference is articulated in symposia, with details and further information available on the Symposia webpage.

The accepted papers present our latest works in the research project CliCE-DiPP toward:

  • Process Mining for Production Optimization in Smart Manufacturing[3], for which we developed a completely new approach that makes use of Process Mining in Manufacturing to simplify the collection of consumed resources to generate accurate Carbon Footprints for Digital Product Passports.
  • DPPviewer: A Visual Analytics Approach for Optimizing Production Chains on Digital Product Passports[4] is a generic solution to make Digital Product Passports human accessible and analyzable.

Presenting E2COMATION Results at the BTW 2025

/in , , , , /by

I’m glad to have had the opportunity to present our paper at BTW 2025 last week. In the paper, we could outline one of our main contributions in the finishing European research project E2COMATION, how we could enable plant workers to perform their own (visual) analytics on shopfloor data for smart manufacturing. With my colleagues Harald, Mohamed, and Kanishk, it was a special experience to participate in the conference.

The BTW conference is the most important database conference in the German-speaking area. Every two years since 1985, it has served as a central forum for the exchange of information between scientists, practitioners, and users on topics of database and information system technology. Focus topics are data integration and extraction, provenance management, data protection, scalable big data analytics, hardware technologies on a small scale up to cloud computing as well as new application areas and architectural approaches for the support of machine learning in the context of artificial intelligence.

More information about our paper, titled “Enabling Smart Manufacturing with Visual Analytics for Plant Workers”[5]
Abstract: Smart manufacturing is increasingly making use of visual analytics to optimize production or to identify early problem signs. However, current solutions and approaches require professionals, especially from the data science area, to make use of it, which is not affordable for most production companies. In this paper, we describe first a best practice to sensorize plants from the wood and beverage industry to enable smart manufacturing in general. Second, we describe a new approach that aims at providing easy-to-use visual analytics functionalities that are designed to be used directly by plant workers. Plant workers usually have encompassing experience in the production and the plant, but lack of computer experience and corresponding mathematical knowledge for data analysis. Through lowering the barriers for plant workers in performing data analysis of the IoT sensors with simplified and almost automated analysis functions would give them the ability to gain insights into the production and achieve similar production optimizations and problem preventions as data science experts could. The main contributions of this article are on the one hand the best practice of how production lines of the wood and beverage industry could be made ready for smart manufacturing, but also an approach that enables non-data scientists, especially plant workers, to perform sufficient analysis about optimal production settings and early problem cause identification.
