Title and contents of the funding project
| The fischertechnik learning environment is used to learn and understand Industry 4.0 applications. The learning environment simulates the ordering process, the production process, and the delivery process in digitalized and networked process steps. It integrates common practical technologies such as PLC for control, MQTT for communication, and a cloud connection for monitoring production. The learning environment enables the University of Hohenheim to expand its existing range of courses to include application-oriented, realistic content, enabling students to learn diverse techno-economic skills as hands-on as possible in a way that focuses on application and sustainability. |
Course format | Independent use of the platform by students in the context of projects, either in dedicated project modules or seminars. In addition, it is also planned to use the system as part of larger teaching events, e.g., as a demonstration of Industry 4.0 solutions in lectures in the lecture hall, exercise courses, or tutorials. It is also possible to use it for a final thesis. |
