SFU Mechatronics, in partnership with EMC

A smart factory is an interconnected network of machines, processes, communication systems, and computing power. It is a cyber-physical system that uses advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to analyze data, drive automated processes, and to improve productivity, safety, product quality, and customer experience.

### LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Learn the architecture and building blocks of smart factories, in particular, how the integration of the smart factory building blocks improves quality and productivity.
• Gain hands-on training using state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 smart factory from SMC. The training equipment includes programmable logic controllers (PLCs), collaborative robots, vision and RFID sensors, and digital twins.
