ENG1811 · Engineering Industry 4.0 Design

Overview

This unit is designed to provide an introduction to Industry 4.0 by covering four of the nine pillars of the Industry 4.0 – IoT, cloud computing, big data analytics and augmented reality. Each pillar will be introduced and linked to demonstrate how a cyber-physical system can drive an Industry 4.0 system. You will work in a small team to design an IoT prototype, which integrates cloud computing and augmented reality technology that meets a contemporary need in engineering.
