TECH 58300 - Smart Manufacturing Applied Technologies


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course addresses new content focusing on the 9 core capabilities and technologies that are at the forefront of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. It also discusses the three core principles driving this transformation, particularly with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) to create digital, smart, and connected systems using data to optimize key business drivers and objectives in manufacturing. The goal is to enable faster, flexible, and more efficient processes to produce higher-quality goods, reduce manufacturing costs, increase productivity, and foster industrial growth. These new concepts have not been previously taught at Purdue. 
Learning Outcomes
1. Analyze how the nine enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 are transforming the manufacturing industry.
2. Demonstrate understanding of the socio-economic impact of Industrial IoT and cyber-physical manufacturing systems will have on human workforce and the manufacturing industry alike.
3. Demonstrate how digital and data-assisted systems in manufacturing can be used for decision-making and augmenting human capabilities in manufacturing.
4. Analyze how information is acquired, exchanged, managed, and leveraged across manufacturing value chains.
