L33Tech is a speaker for the following SIMTech Class:
Course Introduction
The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) uses sensors to automate the collection and communication of industrial data to end users in real time. This has ushered in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, where manufacturers can benefit from real-time visibility of production status and equipment health conditions.
Such production information and derived insights can be used in the following areas:
Support predictive equipment maintenance to pre-empt equipment breakdown;
Automate assembly processes;
Provide real-time visibility for on-the-go decision-making support to take advantage of business opportunities;
Enable simulation using on-line production data to improve shop floor management;
Reduce wastage of raw materials, energy and manpower through early detection of quality issues;
Provide digital traceability starting from supply chain through production, shipping and distribution to support auditing and product recall management when necessary; and
Allow supply chain partners to deal with ad-hoc supply chain disturbances.
IIoT relies on sensors to collect data for the identification of events and materials, measurements, presence detection. Sensorisation is therefore the first step of the digitalisation journey of brownfield factories. The sensor selection process is an important process that identifies sensors to support the application in providing the type and range of sensor data, and the ability to withstand the operating environment. For this 2-day master class, participants will identify an application for their production environment where sensors can be used to improve work processes, provide visibility and improve shop floor control, etc. Participants will also get to experience and practise their newly-acquired knowledge at the Model Factory@SIMTech, which is an actual production environment that allows for experiential experimentation and learning of manufacturing system technologies, during the hand-on practical sessions.
Upon Completion, You Will Gain:
Knowledge of use cases for sensorisation to achieve objectives such as factory automation, predictive equipment maintenance, material handling, energy and waste monitoring
