Transformation to Industry 4.0 involves not only the introduction of new technologies, but also holistic changes in infrastructure and organisational culture to support a straightforward transition. For companies to undergo the necessary change, it is essential for everyone in the organisation – including managers, engineers, technicians and operators – to have a broad knowledge of the Industry 4.0 concept, as well as the opportunities and challenges it presents.

Get to know the core technologies

In this course, you will encounter some of the technologies that make up the Industry 4.0 concept and discuss how this may affect society and the environment. You will then conduct an analysis and evaluation of how the transformation towards Industry 4.0 can take place in an organisation and suggest possible actions.

After completing the course, you will be able to:

• describe the Industry 4.0 concept and its impact on society and the environment,
• describe in detail the state of the art of the technologies shaping Industry 4.0 and exemplify their applications within an industrial organisation,
