COURSES

Alta flessibilità, domanda dinamica, crescente personalizzazione, elevati standard di qualità, piccoli lotti e breve ciclo di vita sono i fattori chiave dell’era dell’Industria 4.0. I sistemi innovativi e flessibili di produzione e assemblaggio (FMS e FAS) devono combinare questi fattori, unendo produttività e versatilità, qualità e adattabilità. In questo contesto, le macchine di produzione ad alta velocità, i dispositivi di movimentazione robotizzata, i sistemi a guida automatica (AGV) e gli operatori umani sono collegati e devono agire in sinergicamente.

Il corso si propone di esplorare un panel coordinato di:  (1) metodi di progettazione, (2) strategie di supporto e (3) approcci quantitativi per aiutare gli operatori dell’Industria 4.0 nella gestione tattica e operativa di sistemi di produzione innovativi.
