The course begins with an introduction to industry 4.0 then extends existing process mapping competencies with discrete event simulation to enable participants to effectively document a manufacturing process, identify data collection points and justify value added improvements before committing to purchasing new technologies. Conventional data collection techniques and integration technologies are explained such as 1D barcodes, 2D QR codes and RFID tags followed by more advanced IoT data acquisition and machine monitoring methodologies. Data processing is explained with emphasis on data preparation, analysis and visualisation via both on-premise and cloud-based interactive dashboards.
