MODELLING IN VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

By taking part in this course you will learn about the role of visualization in industrial applications with a specific focus on Industry 4.0. You will learn how to evaluate and develop production systems and processes that integrate visualization technologies, such as digital twins, virtual and augmented reality and are supported by artificial intelligence.

The course aims to support and facilitate our partner manufacturing companies to become competitive in digitally-enabled production. During the course, we address the potential prerequisites and capabilities required for implementing industry 4.0 in the context of an overall production system. More specifically, we increase the competence base of companies in three areas—internal logistics systems, virtual factory, and sensor and signal processing—which can holistically interconnect the key components for the successful implementation of industry 4.0. This course is offered in a collaboration between Mälardalens högskola (MDH), Högskolan Väst (HV) and Linnéuniversitetet (LNU).

Our imagination has always been a powerful source of alternative realities e.g. imaginary artifacts, characters, stories art and literature. Over time, new technologies such as moving images and Virtual Reality have opened up more ways to create and let others experience new realities. Mixing real and virtual worlds has always been attractive but it only became possible recently due to technological developments. Video games created interest in Virtual Reality, not only in the field of entertainment but also for industrial applications. The course examines phenomena of human interaction with virtual and augmented reality. We examine different aspects of human perception of virtual reality, depending on factors such as true-to-life rendering and experience. We look at how people act when they take part in virtual environments. We also look at the methods for building effective interaction scenarios and measuring interaction quality with both qualitative and quantitative tools. The course is aimed at those who are professionals.

In this course, you will learn how data analysis in virtual production can improve your organization's results! Data analytics in virtual production uses advanced techniques to collect, analyze and present data to improve production. This system is designed to help companies optimize their production and increase efficiency. By learning how to model, do scenario analysis and evaluate using industrial software, identify bottlenecks, and use AI methods and applications, s necessary to succeed with a full production analysis.

Learn about digital twins and how they can be used in smart production! A digital twin is used to create a virtual model of a real production system. Among other things, it can be used to simulate how the product will be manufactured, how materials flow and how machines move. The course gives you knowledge of industrial digital twins and their application within the framework of smart production.

The course will give insights in fundamental concepts of machine learning and actionable forecasting using predictive analytics. It will cover the key concepts to extract useful information and knowledge from big data sets for analytical modeling
