Summary

Brief Course Description
The course responds to the trend of integrating information technologies into all levels of production control. It focuses on the Industry 4.0 concept as an active and autonomous approach to the digital lifecycle of a product, in which products exchange information with machines and production resources about preceding operations as well as subsequent manufacturing steps. Every product and process carries a digital identification containing information from the design stage through the individual steps of the production process up to recycling, thus leaving a digital footprint that can be used to improve quality and to provide new services. The teaching covers the entire vertical required to implement modular, connected and secure automation — from real-time control systems through industrial communications to information and visualisation systems.

Professional Knowledge
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• explain the principles of the Industry 4.0 concept and its relation to the digitalisation of the production process and of the product lifecycle,
• define the terms Cyber-Physical Systems, Smart Factory and Smart Product and describe the relationships between them,
• characterise the use of the Internet of Things and Internet of Services concepts in industrial automation,
• describe the architecture of control and information systems across the individual levels of production control,
• explain the principles of real-time control systems, industrial communication standards and superordinate information and visualisation systems.

Professional Skills
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• configure and commission a control system for a given technological task under laboratory conditions,
• design and implement the interconnection of production system components by means of selected industrial communication interfaces,
• implement the acquisition, transmission and processing of operational data between the control and information levels,
• create a visualisation interface for monitoring and operating a technological process,
• verify the functionality of the implemented solution and carry out diagnostics and removal of identified deficiencies.

General Competences
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• independently solve assigned technical tasks within the professional field of the course,
• clearly present and defend the proposed technical solution in both written and oral form,
• search for and critically assess professional information, including technical documentation in Czech and English.
