Course Summary
You will learn the fundamental issues, concepts, and design criteria in industry 4.0 (I4.0). The course will walk you through the I4.0 digital value chain using a bottom-up approach, starting from physical sensors to end-user dashboards on Cloud. Sensing hardware, communication stacks, middleware, and toolkits utilised in I4.0 systems will be covered. Specifically, you will understand how the whole digitalisation process can make a manufacturing line or a factory smart. You will learn the challenges in deploying practical I4.0 systems, including noise interference and networking issues. Additionally, you will get hands-on experience by integrating sensing technologies, communication systems, and data visualisation tools to build your I4.0 applications in this course.
