Transform your business with Industry 4.0 technologies and smart data analysis

The ability to gather and analyse real-time data at lightning speeds is what gives businesses who embrace I4.0 technologies the edge.

On this three-week course from RMIT, you’ll discover how I4.0 technologies can optimise processes and transform data analysis. Learning from academic experts and industry professionals, you’ll find out what I4.0 technologies are and their applications across the sectors.

Discover Industry 4.0 technologies and how they can transform data analysis

You’ll gain insight into the background and compatibility of I4.0 and explore its real-life uses. This will give you the tools to assess the integration of these technologies into your existing projects.

Learn how digitalisation and smart manufacturing can revolutionise your business processes

You’ll see how I4.0 can make sensor technologies more efficient. Using real-life case studies and demonstrations you’ll learn how to transfer real-world data into the digital space and what to do with it once in the Cloud.

Explore how data aggregation, processing and visualisation can be improved with MindSphere

An understanding of computer networking and Cloud technologies can simplify processes and reduce upfront infrastructure investment.

You’ll explore how to achieve this with Siemens MindSphere, a platform which combines AI and advanced analytics to transform your output into meaningful, accessible data. With the skills to integrate this smart tech into your current systems you can optimise your operations and explore new business models with continuous data to back up your decisions.

By the end of this course, you will understand what Industry 4.0 technologies are and how your business can integrate these processes to become more efficient and effective in continuous data gathering and analysis.

This course is designed for learners with industry backgrounds, particularly in sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics, as well as IT professionals and data analysts with an interest in implementing I4.0 technologies.

If you would like to try out the procedures shown in the step-by-step demonstration videos, you will need to have a Windows/Linux/Mac (Intel-based only) computer with Oracle VM VirtualBox installed. You will also need to register a “Start for Free” account with Siemens Mindsphere.
