Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a production plant having a plurality of processing stations, wherein the workpieces to be processed can be transported to the various processing stations by means of a transport system, wherein a plurality of computers are provided which are connected for data exchange via a computer network, the production plant being controlled by means of a plurality of control processes. According to the disclosure, during the operation of the production plant an initial decision is taken automatically about which control process is executed on which computer, wherein the initial decision is then implemented automatically.

Abstract: A method for energy consumption monitoring in an ICT environment, wherein the ICT environment (1) includes a multitude of energy consuming components (2, 3), at least partly the components (2, 3) being instrumented with elements for energy consumption monitoring and/or having assigned specific energy consumption models that derive one or more energy metrics for the respective component (2, 3) from the component's (2, 3) current performance metrics, is characterized in the steps of ascertaining changes of and/or related to the ICT environment (1) via an energy consumption monitoring controller (7), performing an assessment of available energy consumption monitoring techniques both instrumentation-based and model-based, based on the result of the assessment selecting one or more energy consumption monitoring techniques that best satisfy the change of the ICT environment (1) according to predefined policies. Furthermore, a corresponding monitoring system is described.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an adapter plate (1) for interconnecting of a device with an airplane structure. The adapter plate (1) comprises a central beam (2) area extending in a mounted position across at least two longitudinal and/or lateral floor beams (5) of a fuselage of an airplane and at least two stubs (3) arranged at an angle to the central beam area (2) in the general direction of the floor beams. The adapter plate (1) comprises fastening means to interconnect the adapter plate (2) to the floor beams (5) whereby the stubs comprise at least one channel (8) to receive an existing seat track (7) mounted on a floor beam (5).

Abstract: A transporting device has at least one autonomous workpiece carrier provided with an electric device and a drive control, and a path system provided with a plurality of stations. The workpiece carrier is provided with a unit for determining the operational parameter of the workpiece carrier and reacting to the deviation of the operational parameter from a predetermined value.
