Course Description

This unit is clustered with MEM29010 Plan and Implement Preventative Maintenance Procedures in an Industry 4.0 Manufacturing  Workplace and MEM14091 Integrate Manufacturing Fundamentals into an Engineering Task. Please ensure that you are enrolled in all three (3) units.  

This unit defines the skills and knowledge required to recognise the systems and processes used in a modern automated and digitally connected workplace and to effectively contribute one’s own skills and knowledge as a team member in this environment. Systems in such a modern digital ‘smart’ factory are often described colloquially as Industry 4.0 and for convenience the term Industry 4.0 is used in this unit. However, this term should not be regarded as prescriptive and the unit applies to all technologies that contribute to creating a cyber-physical, automated and networked industrial environment incorporating increased data collection and analysis.

The unit includes the role and importance of data in Industry 4.0 and the use of digital and cloud-based technologies to facilitate data exchange internally across departments and locations and to network externally with suppliers, customers and other organisations. The unit is relevant for current and future employees working in all stages of manufacturing and engineering including design, planning, operations, and providers of in-house and external support services.

The unit scope includes understanding the relationship between traditional manufacturing, engineering, and services operations, lean systems, automation, digital data generation and processing, networking and cloud systems. The unit also requires an individual to apply knowledge of Industry 4.0 to managing their own work plan including keeping up to date with technological advances.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
