In this course 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. Sensing hardware, communication stacks, middleware, and toolkits utilised in I4.0 systems will be covered. Specifically, you will understand how the whole digitalisation process with I4.0 technologies can make a modern manufacturing line have better monitoring and controlling capabilities, and thus yield higher productivities. You will learn the challenges in deploying practical I4.0 systems, including noise interference and networking issues. Additionally, you will have hands-on experience integrating sensing technologies, communication systems, and data visualisation tools to build your I4.0 applications in this course.
