The project aims at investigating West-German production engineering since 1945. It will focus on research into and concepts of informatization and computerization of industrial production and the fully automated factory of the future. It will contribute to the history of engineering sciences. Until now its postwar history has been largely overlooked.The project will scrutinize the remarkable changes engineering sciences experienced since 1945. The development of production engineering shows, that the deployment of computer technology had significant effects on the discipline`s general orientation. Furthermore, production engineering has high relevance for industrial work. Computer based technologies, production methods, the organization of labor, in short, the socio-technical regime of the postwar factory, can hardly be understood without the impact of and entanglement with production engineering. However, the project does not aim at investigating industrial work itself, but will look through the lens of respective research efforts.The project does, of course, not aim at writing an internalistic history of engineering sciences. Instead it will analyze how industrial, political and societal demands, expectations but also resistances shaped research, and how production engineers tried to influence political decisions and societal debates, respectively. In addition, West-German developments will be situated within international trends and networks. Finally, the project will contribute to the history of knowledge production and draw on the idea of knowledge paths, a concept that follows the notion of path dependency.

该项目旨在调查自1945年以来的西格曼生产工程。它将着重于工业生产信息和计算机化的研究和概念以及未来的全自动工厂。它将有助于工程科学的历史。到目前为止，其战后历史已经在很大程度上被忽视了。该项目将审查自1945年以来的显着变化工程科学。生产工程的发展表明，计算机技术的部署对学科的一般方向产生了重大影响。此外，生产工程与工业工作具有很高的相关性。简而言之，基于计算机的技术，生产方法，劳动组织是战后工厂的社会技术政权，几乎无法理解而没有生产工程的影响并纠缠。但是，该项目并非旨在调查工业工作本身，而是要探究各自的研究工作的镜头。当然，该项目的确旨在撰写工程科学的内部主义历史。取而代之的是，它将分析工业，政治和社会的需求，期望以及抵抗如何塑造研究，以及生产工程师如何试图分别影响政治决策和社会辩论。此外，西格曼的发展将位于国际趋势和网络中。最后，该项目将有助于知识生产的历史并借鉴知识路径的概念，这一概念遵循路径依赖的概念。
