Virtual factory and robot cell simulation
We already see how digitalization has challenged and transformed several different areas of our everyday life as well as our professional life. The objective of the course is to increase the student's knowledge concerning the virtual factory and robotic simulation level to create the digital twin of the production and the process. These techniques enable capabilities of industry 4.0 technologies. In the course, students will gain theoretical knowledge on virtual factory and robotics simulation technologies as well as practical handling of industrial robots. Robotic applications in focus are arc welding, robotized controlled milling and grading.
Content
- Virtual factory and digital twin including factory scanning
- Understanding and knowledge to use robot simulation tools to make decisions regarding factory solutions
- Simulation and programming of industrial robots using commercial robotic simulation tools
Prerequisites
Three years of higher education (Bachelor level) in engineering & technology (bachelor’s degree corresponding to 180CP). Alternatively relevant professional work experience.
Attach resume if your application is based on work experience. A template (in Swedish) is available at our website www.hv.se/produktionskurser
Course material
Elected scientific articles, lecture notes, reports and manuals.
Implementation and pedagogic concept
The course is based on University West’s concept of work integrated learning, which aims at integrating both theory and practice in education. Theoretical lectures are combined with case studies and practical examples.
The course format (campus or distance) can vary. The form is stated when the course being announced. The current courses can be found here.
