Learning Outcomes

To enable the student to use innovative technologies to support the improvement of process automation in an industrial environment, including the identification and analysis of alternatives in decision-making.
After attending this course, students will be able to:

O1 - Understand and characterise the needs and knowledge for developing system solutions and supporting the efficient management of infrastructures and resources.

O2 - Understand the different stages of process modelling and their associated functions;

O3 - Analyse, understand and be able to use appropriate technologies in the context of modern systems;

O4 - Differentiate between the various technologies available, advanced management models for production systems and recognise appropriate forms of integration.

O5 - Interpret the new challenges of systems management from the perspective of the SDGs -UN
