WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS

1. Introduction to Industry 4.0

This session will introduce you to the principles that underpin Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, represents a fundamental shift in the way manufacturing processes are carried out. This revolution is characterised by the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, and big data analytics into the manufacturing sector. These principles aim to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance product quality, ultimately leading to greater competitiveness in the global marketplace. 

2. Advanced Simulation and Design

Participants will learn about the latest technological advancements in Design and Advanced Simulation and how they are revolutionising the manufacturing processes in the era of Industry 4.0. They will explore how these technologies can be harnessed to create virtual prototypes, simulate real-world scenarios, and enhance the efficiency and productivity of engineering and manufacturing operations. This session will introduce the use of Advanced Simulation, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) in the context of all types of design (parts, processes and products) for Engineering and Manufacturing, specifically in relation to Industry 4.0. 

3. Robotics and Automation

This course will explore the advancements in robotics and automation within the engineering and manufacturing industries, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0.
