Overview
"The next industrial revolution is bringing about untold change in every industry creating massive advantages and challenges to implement."
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, refers to the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices using modern smart technology such as robotics, CNC, and 3D printing. This revolution brings with it smart manufacturing and smart factories, which optimize production and minimize downtime.
Optimization plays a crucial role in maintaining high-end equipment efficiently by ensuring the right resources are in the right place at the right time. Constant and consistent utilization of production capacity is preferred over major downtime or changeover. While IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) and M2M (Machine to Machine Communication) are leading the way, automation and related applications also play a vital role in shaping the Industry 4.0 ecosystem.
This course focuses on the automation and application aspects of Industry 4.0, making it highly beneficial for students in mechanical, manufacturing, and industrial engineering. Additionally, professionals already working in the manufacturing industry can gain knowledge about the latest technological developments that can revolutionize their existing practices. Therefore, this course is suitable for both aspiring engineers and working professionals.
The course covers various areas of automation and applications in Industry 4.0, including:
Automation - Classification, Control system and Challenges
Robotics - Definition, Laws of robotics, Components of a robot, Robot classification, Degree of Freedom (DOF), Robot configurations and Exceptional robots in the industry
Numerical Control (NC) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) - NC and CNC machines, Components of CNCs, Types of CNCs, Importance of higher axes machining, Programming format, CODING exercise (G-Code) and Applications
3D Printing - General explanation, Procedure, Types of 3D printing processes, Materials and applications
Let's dive in and get started on this exciting adventure!
