PURPOSE OF THE COURSE
Students graduated from Chalmers Master's Programme in Production Engineering must have achieved the knowledge and judgment skills to be able to conceptualize, develop and improve production systems with an emphasis on digital technologies and sustainability.
The primary objective is to convey fundamental knowledge about the role of digital technologies in production systems and to serve as a foundation for further learning in more specialized courses within the Master's Programme.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After this course the students will be able to:
LO1.- Analyze and contrast paradigms in the history of production systems and project the impact of digital technologies on the future of industrial production systems.
LO2.- Evaluate a range of enablers and challenges that influence decision-making in a production system.
LO3.- Compare and contrast the application of digital technologies in current production systems and recommend their implementation in the design of new ones.
LO4.- Analyze and evaluate the role of automation in a production system considering both physical and cognitive aspects.
LO5.- Describe how connectivity can enable an adaptive information system in a production environment.
LO6.- Describe basic data analytics to address problems in production systems.
LO7.- Identify and evaluate the implications of digital technologies regarding environmental and social sustainability in production systems.
COURSE CONTENT
The course covers the following topics:
- History of production systems and production paradigms;
- The application of digital technologies in current production systems;
- Connectivity applications in production systems;
- Use of data analytics for optimization of production systems;
- Levels of automation for a production system;
- Implications of digital technologies regarding sustainability.
ORGANIZATION
Students will learn the course content using a problem oriented pedagogy supported by lectures. This course includes one company project with associated analysis, and lectures about digital technologies and sustainability.
The learning activities are:
- Lectures: Provides theoretical foundation and support for project work;
- Assignments: Reflections of the use of the digital technologies and impact on the development of sustainable production systems;
- Project: Applying skills learned throughout the course to analyze and improve productions systems;
- Presentation: Be able to present and defend project results.
EXAMINATION
The course examination is based on three parts: modules' assignments, project work, final exam. It is compulsory to sign up for the exam in order to join a session examination.
- Modules' assignments - Pass or fail. You have to pass all the assignments.
- Project - project's assignments, report and presentation - maximum 30 points (report = 20 points, presentation = 10 points, assignments= pass or fail).
- Exam - maximum 20 points, you need at least 8 points to pass.
The grading scale is: Failed, 3, 4 and 5.
The points are summed up and result in the following scale:
40-50 points = 5 (the maximum grade cannot exceed 50 points).
30-39 points = 4
20-29 points = 3
0-19 points = Failed
Modules' assignments
All assignments from the different modules must be approved to pass the course. The expectations from each assignment, are explained in each exercise in the Assignments section (the assignments will be published along with the development of the lectures).
The mandatory activities are:
Exam
The student needs to pass the exam in order to be approved in the course and achieve a final grade. The written exam covers the content of all the different modules in this course:
- Introduction
- Sustainability
- Digital twin
- Data
- Connectivity & 5G
- Automation
Project
The project work aims at applying the skills throughout the course to understand and implement digital technologies for the development of a sustainable production system. This is a group activity and further information can be found in the Module "Project". Directions for the project can be found here.
