Description
What is the Digital Solutions 4.0 Senior Technician?
The Digital Solutions 4.0 Senior Technician is a course designed to train highly qualified professionals in the area of digital solutions for Industry 4.0. The main focuses include I-IOT, robotics and smart technologies, edge and cloud computing.
Students acquire advanced skills in the design and development of I-IoT solutions, using cutting-edge technologies such as sensors, actuators, wearable devices and wireless networks also for information exchange. In addition, with a view to industrial automation, students learn to handle large amounts of data and use advanced analytics techniques to extract useful information from such data efficiently and quickly.
The course covers topics related to Industry 4.0, such as collaborative robotics, augmented reality and digitisation of production processes. The aim is to acquire skills in the design and development of industrial automation systems, manage cloud-based infrastructures and use technologies such as edge computing.
The professional figure coming out of the Digital Solutions 4.0 Senior Technician course is in charge of the following operational activities:
- Back-end developer specialising in applications for the collection, management and presentation of data gathered with IoT devices from machines and industrial plants of the Industry 4.0 generation.
- Is particularly involved in manufacturing production processes and energy systems.
- Defines the most suitable IoT protocols and platforms to interconnect sensors, microcontrollers, PLCs, automation and preventive maintenance systems.
- Develops software systems for filtering, storing and processing data in the field (Edge computing) or with cloud infrastructures.
- Creates web panels and dashboards for the concise presentation of industrial process monitoring data.
Courses are activated subject to approval by the FVG Region
