Content

In this unit, students will complete a project implementing the software-based components of an Industry 4.0 solution to a manufacturing and/or production problem. The project will require students to:

  • analyze the flows of data required throughout the system that is being designed
  • evaluate the software platforms for suitability for managing these data flows and modelling of the system
  • apply the relevant software platforms to create a model of the process being designed for the project.
