Description

This module aims to provide students with the background of Industry 4.0 and how this conceptual framework can be applied in the biopharmaceutical sector. The course will provide students with the knowledge and understanding of the emerging needs of the biopharmaceutical sector as it progresses towards greater integration of technology and data, to become more agile, to increase productivity and competitiveness.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Demonstrate they have detailed knowledge and understanding of the background to Industry 4.0 and emerging needs in the biopharma sector, the source and quality of existing data and applicability of industry4.0

2.

Demonstrate they have detailed knowledge and understanding of the application of predictive modelling, automation systems, PLCs, robotics, vision systems 

3.

Evaluate embedded systems, the internet of things (IoT) and the cyber-physical systems (sensors, control boards) necessary for data acquisition

4.

Formulate judgements on the relevant value and application of existing data sources, design tools, digital twins, simulation models, and augmented reality/virtual reality.

5.

Integrate knowledge and formulate judgements on the application of robotics and industrial vision systems to biomanufacturing operations.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be taught using on‑line lectures. A range of Computer‑Aided Learning (CAL) packages are also used to support this module (e.g. Moodle,Adobe Connect, Panopto, Camtasia). Students are provided with electronic materials for self‑assessment and preparation for assessments/assignments. Self‑directed, student‑centred, independent learning is a core aspect through completion of module coursework.

Module Assessment Strategies

The assessment approach for this module will be 100% continuous employed including some of the following: Enquiry based Projects, Assignments/mini projects including Viva/Presentation Short-form assessment exams incl. MCQs, Short answer and Long Answer Questions.
 

Repeat Assessments

Students will have opportunities to re-submit work  as agreed with their lecturer.

Indicative Syllabus

The following is a summary of the main topics included in this module: Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Revolutions, Regulatory Considerations, Automation & Process Control, Networking and Cloud Computing, AR & VR, Collaborative Robotics & Machine Learning, Data Analytics and Visualization, Cyber-Physical systems, Blockchain & Location systems (RFID).
