Industry 4.0 describes a paradigm shift in manufacturing for Factory of Future (FoF) and often referred to as the Smart Factory – a factory enabled with data and connectivity to enhance the flexibility and adaptability of production systems to respond quickly to the changing demands of the market.

It is not only changing the future of manufacturing, but also affecting the organisation and the employees with changing job profiles and new business models.Therefore, qualification for Industry 4.0 becomes a key success factor for industrial companies.

The Industry 4.0 Specialist Training Programme is offered by Festo Didactic and Technical University of Munich (TUM) Asia with Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MGCC) as the German certification body by following the standards of the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK). The objective is to offer a certification in the certification corridor – local dual training with elements of the German system.

Course Objective

The aims of the course are to train the workforce in the industry with the knowledge and skillsets to assist them on the digital transformation journey of the company to drive increased productivity and efficiency. As a result, enhancing business competitiveness and sustainability.

The course focuses on enabling participants to take the next steps towards Industry 4.0 implementation:

  • Understanding the underlying concepts of Industry 4.0
  • Recognise the potential of Industry 4.0 and develop implementation in logistics and production
  • Specific examples on Industry 4.0 applications from different production areas
  • Agile approach adapting to dynamic work situation and environment

Industry 4.0 Specialist Training Programme consists of 5 training modules with holistics perspectives:

Module 1: Understanding Industry 4.0

Course Description

Industry 4.0 describes a fundamental change in the world of production. Modern information and
communication technologies are merging with classic industrial processes to form the so-called Cyber
Physical System. Driven by the Internet, the real and virtual world are increasingly growing closer together.

This module will introduce the key concepts of Industry 4.0 and the driving technologies for the convergence of digital and physical worlds.

Course Duration: 8 hours

Course Outcomes

Participants are able to understand the underlying concept of digital transformation and the core technologies of industry 4.0.

Course Contents

  • Development of the industrial revolution
  • Overview of the core elements
  • Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
  • Product identification with radio frequency identification RFID system
  • Vertical and horizontal integration
  • Machine to machine communication
  • Fundamental of industrial network technology
  • Worker assistance with augmented reality

Module 2: Networked Business Models in Production and Logistics

Course Description

The business operations of companies are increasingly influenced by the introduction of the Industry 4.0 technologies, hence the basic understanding of how these technologies change the way of interactions between people, machines and processes are essentials. These are crucial for enabling optimal business performance of companies.

Basic knowledge about networked business models, B2B platforms and networked production solutions will
be explained to illustrate the relationships of one or more supply chains in the environment of Industry 4.0.

Course Duration: 32 hours

Course Outcomes

Participants will become aware of the fundamentals of networked business model in production and logistics, learn to appreciate the benefits of the digitalisation of logistics and supply chains, and adopt suitable transformation initiatives within their organisations.

Course Contents

  • Enabling technologies for networked business models and production solutions
  • Technical framework conditions of component labelling in networked production and logistics solutions
  • Existing business models
  • Fundamental conditions of data transfer
  • Fundamentals of supply chains and supply chain management
  • Digitalisation of logistics and supply chains
  • Logistics and Industry 4.0
  • State-of-the-art technologies
  • Real world application
  • Working in a network in the digital supply chain

Module 3: Technologies for Implementing Industry 4.0

Course Description

Overview of basics of technologies (machine controls, sensors, gateways / connectors, user interfaces, etc) which are used in the Industry 4.0 environment and the important characteristics of a Cyber Physical System. It aims to deliver the learning of the concepts of modularity and flexibility in manufacturing – concepts which are vital to increasing productivity and adaptability of production configurations to meet the changing demands of the market requirements. Practical implementation of a networked factory centrally controlled by the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production control, data collection and process analysis will be demonstrated.

Course Duration: 24 hours

Course Outcomes

Participants are able to understand the features & benefits of industry 4.0 technologies that enable flexible configuration of manufacturing processes and optimisation of production control and planning.

Course Contents

  • Overview of the technologies used in Industry 4.0 environment
  • Sensors, actuators, processors and HMI of a Cyber Physical System
  • Modularity and flexibility concept of the Cyber Physical System and its characteristics
  • Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and its benefits for production management
  • Digital simulation and modelling of Cyber Physical System with digital simulation software CIROS
  • Explanation & practical demonstration of digital simulation (CIROS) for production control on the Cyber Physical System

Module 4: Work and Organisation Design in the Age of Digital Transformation

Course Description

The increasing automation in production facilities & the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies unshackle workers from mundane shop-floor tasks to new job roles and responsibilities allowing them to spend more time on higher-value activities such as monitoring datasets for the implementation of preventive maintenance regimes. More importantly, how organisations evolve their business operations involving the new way of interactions between people, machines and processes in this digital era.

Course Duration: 24 hours

Course Outcomes

Participants are able to:

  • Understand the relationships between the main building blocks of human, technology and processes in the context of Industry 4.0
  • Understand Change Management challenges at all the levels of the organisations and the application of Agile method with SCRUM & Kanban

 

Course Contents

  • Social-technological developments and the consequences
  • Competence development for Industry 4.0
  • Change Management for Industry 4.0
  • The Agile values and guiding principle
  • The methodologies of SCRUM and Kanban
  • Organisation transformation case studies

Module 5: Final Assessment

Course Description

The assessment serves as the qualification for an Industry 4.0 Specialist (MGCC). It is intended to
facilitate and enable the participants to acquire the required knowledge and skills so that they are able to develop and implement targeted solution for digital transformation project for the company. The final stage of the qualification involves completing a final assignment which includes oral examination, project presentation and a final project report.

Course Duration: 8 hours

Course Contents

  • Multiple choice examination questions
  • Homework-based assignment
  • Oral examination
  • Presentation of homework-based assignment
