Course Overview
Effective from AY2024/25 Trimester 2 (January 2025), the Postgraduate Certificate in Data Engineering and Smart Factory will be retired. For more details, please refer to the full notice here.
The module will focus on the applications of robotic automation technology and IoT system on smart manufacturing processes.
The fundamentals of robotics and mechanism design will be introduced to enable you to implement robotic automation solutions on factory floor. You will learn to setup a robotic workcell, carry out offline robot programming and integrate sensors to enhance the capability of the workcell. Internet of things (IoT) will be introduced to enable data acquisition and monitoring of the manufacturing processes.
