Participants’ Pains
We know that…
Today, it is clear that smart manufacturing or intelligent manufacturing are not just trendy or marketing buzzwords.
To understand smart manufacturing, candidates interested in this field need to be provided with knowledge of the defined basic structure of cyber-physical systems, principles of intelligent manufacturing, key features of the technologies used, as well as the benefits and risks of the new production methods and the requirements for new knowledge and skills in the expanded scope of work.
Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that this progress is leading to the creation of a work environment where the physical and virtual worlds converge, and people, machines, objects, and systems are interconnected through ICT and the internet, dynamically communicating in real-time and organizing and optimizing processes.
Industry 4.0 not only changes the essence of manufacturing but also demands a radical change in the content of the educational process, focusing on digitization and advanced technologies that enhance competitiveness and production efficiency, as well as product personalization. The sooner university students acquire the required knowledge in the most understandable form, the more they can immediately apply themselves in the job market.
Smart manufacturing not only changes the nature of production processes but also requires a radical change in the content of the educational process in terms of skills and knowledge, focusing on digitization and advanced technologies that enhance competitiveness, production efficiency, and product personalization.
Participants’ Gains
So, we developed this course, in which…
Participants will understand that the automated Smart Factory 4.0 is a flexible system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) for automatic performance optimization and the integration of production system elements or assembly lines for autonomous control of manufacturing processes.
They will learn about the application of artificial intelligence methods in the structure of production processes, communication, and data collection based on the Internet. The shift in the role of humans, their functions, and decision-making activities will be emphasized. Participants will grasp the differences between traditional manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing and the rationale behind building smart manufacturing systems. By acquiring these skills, participants will gain a competitive edge and enhance their employability in the job market.
Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of the principles of smart manufacturing and be prepared to apply them in real production conditions. The educational module will also include practical inspirations that will provide theoretical knowledge to enhance participants’ professional competencies.
