Hide-Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have become extremely relevant and increasingly important in manufacturing for a multitude of reasons. It helps manufacturers with current challenges by giving greater connectivity of their machines, greater operational insight into the process, makes reacting to changes in the manufacturing process easier, faster and more efficient and allows greater product traceability. The implementation of Industry 4.0 and IIoT techniques within a manufacturing facility can increase yield, quality and product throughput, while reducing downtime and improving process efficiency.
These methods can increase the speed of process improvement and innovation, leading ultimately to more profitable manufacturing and subsequently to a more sustainable and profitable future in the industry. This programme is designed for persons who are currently working in the manufacturing sector or want to pursue a career in the sector and need to develop their knowledge and skills accordingly. The modules on this programme address current technologies in advanced manufacturing and provide students with the broad range of skills needed in industry today.
