CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The objective of the course is to teach students about information systems of industrial companies, particularly those that are utilized for management of industrial operations, e.g. Manufacturing execution systems (MES). Thus, in this course the viewpoint of students to automation is enlarged and they are able to understand the role of automation in the larger context of a value network. This higher level viewpoint includes a human-in-the-loop of control and business objectives. The content of the course consists of the following topics: enterprise architecture and the role of operations management in it; information systems for industry and their relation to automation; development process of information systems for industry; integration of information systems with automation (e.g. OPC UA and IoT)

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Teaching at the course will include lectures, personal homeworks, a teamwork and an exam. Material at the course contains excerpts from selected literature, illustrative examples from practice and research, and programming excercises. The examples are taken from different application domains including discrete part manufacturing, process industry, electric power delivery and agricultural production. The teamwork imitates the development of information systems for industry in laboratory environment based on quite detailed instructions. Grading is based on homeworks (1/3), the teamwork (1/3) and the exam (1/3).

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures. Homeworks. Exam (incl. preparation). Teamwork.
