Industry 4.0 Training

AUT521- Industry 4.0: Applications in practice course

Industry 4.0 allows smart-factory workers to use a series of applications that could not be implemented or that could only be implemented previously through tedious manual labour. These applications can be used for plant operation, maintenance, planning and control, as well as for tracking orders and inspecting plant operation.

During this training course, the participants will learn about ways to use these kinds of applications within a complete production process, using the Festo Didactic CP (Cyber-Physical) Lab or the CP Factory as an example. Simultaneously, the participants will establish ways to integrate typical Industry 4.0 applications into vocational training courses.

Target group:

All employees involved in Industry 4.0 and applications or considering moving to I4.0 technology. This training course is also ideal for teachers and trainers who want to work closely with the technical contents of the CP Lab or CP Factory.

The content includes:

  • The concept of adaptable production: operation, visualisation, parameterisation and routing orders to the CP Factory.
  • Handling data: saving data, cloud computing, data security, data mining.
  • Lean production: implementing value streams using the CP Factory, line balance, working with ‘breathing’ buffers and batch size one production.
  • Smart maintenance: OEE as the most important metric for analysing plant productivity, the concept of a usage-dependent maintenance strategy, condition monitoring, remote diagnostics.
  • Energy efficiency: usage monitoring, recording consumption, localising and identifying energy losses, using increased energy consumption data to conclude component wear and behaviour in the event of failure.
  • Implementing the topic into your vocational training courses.
  • Planning learning units using the CP Factory.
  • Practical exercises.

Outcomes

After completing this training course, the participant will:

  • Be familiar with typical application scenarios for intelligent Industry 4.0 systems.
  • Understand how these application scenarios play out in the CP Factory and put them to practical use.
  • know the professions and vocational training topics for which these applications are relevant, prepare primary areas of application for their courses and plan a sample learning unit.

Requirements: An interest in the future of automation.
