Advanced Certificate in Applied Automation in the Digital Economy Module 3: Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Smart Manufacturing

About This Course

Module 3 offers participants a comprehensive insight of the integration of digital technologies into industrial processes. It covers key concepts such as sensor networks, data analytics, cyberphysical systems, and connectivity protocols that form the foundation of industrial internet of things (IIoT). Participants will explore how IIoT enables smart manufacturing by facilitating real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimisation. They will also learn about the implementation of advanced automation techniques using IIoT to enhance productivity, quality control, and resource efficiency in manufacturing environments. Through case studies and practical exercises, participants will gain hands-on experience in designing IIoT solutions for various industrial applications. Additionally, they will examine the challenges related to cybersecurity, interoperability, and scalability when deploying IIoT systems in complex manufacturing settings. By the end of the module, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage IIoT technologies for driving innovation and competitiveness within modern industrial operations.
