Event

Industry 4.0, IT systems for fabrication (e.g.: CAx, PDM, CAM, ERP, MES), process modelling and execution, project work in teams, practice-relevant I4.0 problems, in automation, manufacturing industry and service.

Students can

• describe the fundamental concepts, challenges, and objectives of Industrie 4.0 and name the essential terms in context of information management
• explain the necessary information flow between the different IT systems. They get practically knowledge about using current IT systems in context of I4.0, from order to production.
• map and analyze processes in the context of Industry 4.0 with special methods of process modelling
• collaboratively grasp practical I4.0 issues using existing hardware and software and work out solutions for a continuous improvement process in a team
• prototypically implement the self-developed solution proposal with the given IT systems and the existing hardware equipment and finally present the results
