Webinar: The Issues and Developments of Digital Manufacturing

The Issues and Developments of Digital Manufacturing

What is the course about?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of manufacturing, understanding the nuances of digitalization is paramount. This course taught by one of our partner universities, Czech Technical University, offers a comprehensive exploration of key concepts and practical applications shaping this transformative journey.

Through a series of engaging modules, participants will delve into critical topics, including:

  1. Business Models Based on Data: Uncover practical examples and success stories of business models leveraging data as the cornerstone of success. Gain insights into how data-driven approaches are reshaping manufacturing strategies and driving competitive advantage in the digital era.
  2. Concepts of Digital Twins: Explore the revolutionary concept of digital twins, dissecting their advantages and limitations. Understand how digital twins facilitate predictive maintenance, optimize operations, and enhance decision-making processes within manufacturing environments.
  3. Creating a Digital Twin of a Simple Machine: Dive into hands-on exercises to develop a digital twin of a simple machine. Explore the step-by-step process of creating digital replicas, understanding their intricacies, and harnessing their potential to optimize performance and efficiency.
