Course Content
The content of this short course explains how manufacturing enterprises are repositioning their businesses to capture growth opportunities and financial success more effectively and efficiently in the evolving Industry 4.0 economy. Business models are progressively more focused on innovation and collaboration opportunities to achieve digitised, virtual and resource-efficient factories. To be successful, modern manufacturing firms must adopt accelerated technological strategies, innovation and knowledge creation while operating in an environment of challenges and opportunities, aiming for economic, social and environmental sustainability. The cyber-physical environment in which they operate inherently involves key technologies, enablers, smart manufacturing systems and processes that need to be properly mastered and managed.
