Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing Bootcamp Short Courses
In partnership with Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium Canada (EMC) and Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME-MEC)
Upskilling for Canada’s Fourth Industrial Revolution
The first industrial revolution shifted workers from hand production to using steam- and water-powered machines. Electricity was adapted during the second revolution, while computer and automation technologies were embraced by industry in its third transformation. The fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) will see the emergence of cyber-physical systems that integrate robotics and automation with advanced digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics and IoT. Digital-twin technologies will enable virtual models of systems and objects using real-time data to allow engineers to run virtual simulations and troubleshooting of the physical assets. This digitization of the industry will allow automated processes that are faster, efficient and optimized. Not only will Smart Manufacturing increase efficiency, it will also improve worker safety, lower operational costs, improve and optimize supply chain management, and reduce energy consumption. The core of industry 4.0 is:
- Advanced industrial automation
- Data driven
- Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT)
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
Technology is only as good as the individuals trained to use it. Smart Manufacturing’s ultimate success depends on a highly skilled workforce, but currently, digitally skilled labor in the Canadian manufacturing sector is in short supply. To address this education gap, our Smart Manufacturing Bootcamp short courses provides opportunities for professionals in manufacturing, engineering, and management to learn how industry 4.0 technologies are applied to drive value for businesses, through both lectures and hands-on training using our state-of-the-art smart factory equipment.
