Description

The industrial internet of things (IIoT) will transform current industries as we know them, with sectors, such as manufacturing, currently undergoing a digital transformation. Ultimately, this will lead to network-based, connected factories. This studio addresses a critical gap created when factories move beyond IIoT pilots and into full production – that is re-skilling and retraining their workforces. The studio is an introductory course in IIoT for students aiming for a career in IIoT, or persons already working in the manufacturing sector and wishing to learn contemporary skills. Principally, students work on a well-defined design problem to develop skills and experience in the engineering design process for IIoT systems through engagement with:

Introduction to the IIoT – its technologies and potential applications.
Skill development in relevant software (e.g. IoT middleware, dashboards and databases) and hardware (e.g. sensors and actuators).
Practical, hands-on experience of overall IIoT system/architecture design and implementation, using industry-standard equipment.
