Industry 4.0

Although the terms Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 are used interchangeably in literature, they do not mean the same thing. IIoT is an integrated network of manufacturing, energy, building, business, and value chain automation systems, while Industry 4.0 is the use of IIoT to optimize manufacturing processes and cost. The following courses are offered:

1. Industrial Automation System Integration
2. Artificial Intelligence and Industry 4.0

The Industrial Automation System Integration course focuses on the design and implementation of cyber-physical system. The course also covers data visualization and the integration of manufacturing and business automation systems. Graduated students will have the following skills:

• Design, analyze and implement cyber-physical systems
• Integrate industrial and business automation applications
• Develop data visualization systems and Human Machine Interfaces

The Artificial Intelligence and Industry 4.0 course covers the use of IIoT to build SCADA systems that optimize processes, improve system performance, and reduce cost using artificial intelligence methods. Graduated students will have the following skills:

• Collect and manage data required to develop intelligent systems
• Understand the strength and weaknesses of using AI in control systems
• Design and implement intelligent SCADA systems
• Use AI to integrate data from value chain participant so as to optimize process as required in Industry 4.0 paradigm
