Digitalization of information, combined with high-performance hardware, allows the implementation of more flexible and optimized production architectures. The innovation level is such that today, Industry 4.0 is synonymous with smart manufacturing. The adjective smart refers to integrated management of information with the aid of digital technology.
De Lorenzo’s solution creates a collaborative environment to study concepts related to Industry 4.0, integrating small-scale subsystems that are normally found in a manufacturing plant.
The trainer is composed of a set of electronic boards to study the different subsystems that can be found in a real production line. Using an Arduino open-source microcontroller connected to a SCADA software for data acquisition and control, the students will be able to perform practices covering topics that range from the introduction to automation and robotics, communication protocols (IOT), sensors and actuators to a complete study of a productive system.
