ENGR 6033
Implenting Industry 4.0
Course: ENGR 6033
Credit: 3

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is characterized by: Increased automation, bridging of the physical and digital world through cyber-physical systems, Industrial IoT, access to data and use of that data to drive decisions and AI and machine learning to improve processes. Industry 5.0 is not another revolution but a complementary approach that includes a focus on implementing strategies that enable sustainability and resilience.  Additionally, the call to elevate people and culture has become a focal point for organizations and policymakers alike. Implementing Industry 4.0 technologies and processes is a daunting task, and many businesses can get stuck due to the overwhelming nature of the required expertise and the fear of failure. Effective implementation requires not only technical expertise but also a reinvention of leadership models and company culture.
