What awaits you in this course?

The InnoPeer  Advanced  Manufacturing (AVM) courses offer a practical introduction to the topic of Industrie 4.0. The transformation towards Industrie 4.0 is one of the key challenges for European companies. Traditional factories turn into “smart factories” by adding connectivity and self-intelligence. Components are printed instead of casted or forged, and profit drivers will be data instead of real products. However, technological changes are not the only challenges awaiting companies in the new environment of Industry 4.0. There are also business-related challenges in the fields of organization, human resources and the development of new business models, which need to be addressed if a company wants to maintain its market position.

This course provides information on advanced manaufacturing technologies, as well as technologies used to aid in manufacturing. The course will focus on the following topics:

  • Additive manufacturing,
  • Collaborative robots,
  • Smart sensors,
  • Retrofitting of existing machines,
  • Machine learning,
  • Condition monitoring,
  • Predictive maintenance,
  • Simulation, virtual commissioning and digital twins.

Complementary courses offered by InnoPeer AVM include: Organizational Management, Human Resources Management, Business Model Development and Strategy, and another course on Technology.

The course "InnoPeer AVM" forms the basis for a comprehensive further education on current topics in the field of Industry 4.0. It is funded by the European Union under project number CE1119.
