Basic informations and rules

The 1st Interim exam (midterm) is proposed for 13.12.2023 at 16:00 (60 min), classroom for the lectures, UL FME. Questions related to 1st Interim exam (midterm).

The 2nd Interim exam (midterm) is proposed for 17.01.2024 at 16:00 (60 min), classroom for lectures, UL FME.

Results: midterm exams and final grades.

Objectives

The objectives of this course are to make the students aware of the meaning, basics and essence of smart factories and Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) and the concept of distributed systems and creation of digital twins of processes in a smart factory. Thus, the objectives of this course are the following:

To gain basic concepts and approaches to design of smart factories and to learn about key technologies of I 4.0 and the concept of distributed systems.
To gain the basics of development of digital twins of processes in a smart factory based on the modelling of discrete and partially continuous events and to learn the basics of control of smart factories with the help of digital twins and digital agents.
Ability to estimate the level of digitalization of existing factories and understanding the concepts and approaches to designing new smart factories or for transforming existing factories towards a smart factory.
Understanding the key technologies of I 4.0 and their role and usefulness in a smart factory.
Understanding and creation of digital twins of processes in a smart factory based on discrete and partially continuous events and to use digital twins and digital agents for control of a smart factory.
 

Learning outcomes

Knows and understands: the content and mission of a smart factory compared to traditional factories.
The acquired knowledge is used by the student to draft and design processes in smart factories and to integrate them into the whole concept of a smart factory, to make effective use of I 4.0 technologies in a smart factory, and to produce digital twins of processes and the entire smart factory, as well as to control the whole system.
To learn about key technologies of I 4.0 and the concept of distributed systems.
Knows and understands how to use of tools to evaluate the status of digitization of a traditional factory and computer-aided tools for drafting an efficient smart factory for various purposes.
Recognize of the usefulness of I 4.0 technologies in a smart factory.
Knows and understands how to use simulation tools for building a digital twin (DT) of a smart factory with different subprocesses.
