Learning Outcomes

- The study module provides a balance of courses requiring student to understand and explain basics of robot components and automation systems design and control taking into account different levels in the factory. The module also includes advanced courses where student should be able to design and create operational robot and/or factory automation systems. As a whole, after the completion of the module, a student should be able to apply a complementary knowledge obtained in different courses to solve heterogeneous problems in the domain of factory automation. The objective of advanced studies for factory automation is to train students in specific disciplines of the field.

Additional information

The advanced studies are firstly aimed at providing profound know-how on the latest industrial technologies available. Most importantly, the advanced studies are intended to train students in practices that are prerequisites for innovation and for performing professional and/or academic research and technical development within the field. Factory Automation advanced students will learn how to identify, model, program, control, validate, verificate, orchestrate, choreograph and architect manufacturing systems. In particular, the discipline of Factory Automation makes it possible to build the next generation of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems, with special focus on the important role of applied Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Students who graduate from Factory Automation can expect to work for different stakeholders of the added-value chain of industrial automation, including not only manufacturers but also automation suppliers, machine builders and system integrators.
