Full programme
The course aims to study the problems relating to methodologies, technologies and tools for business integration In particular, the problems relating to CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) will be analyzed by analyzing the architectures for the physical / logistic and logical integration of the company, the methodologies for defining the reference architecture for integration, implementation architecture, integration / implementation and migration strategies, subsystems, modules and components (CNC Computerized Numerical Controller, PLC Programmable Logic Controller, MC Machine Controller, RC Robot Controller, AC Area Controller, FMS Flexible Manufacturing Systems, communication networks and the role of distributed and integrated ICT (Information and Communication Technology). In particular, the CAD / CAE / CAPP / CAM (Computer Aided Design / Computer) subsystems will be analyzed Aided Engineering / Computer Aided Process Plan ning / Computer Aided Manufacturing) and in particular the different approaches to CAPP and the different types of CAPP systems, respectively EDP (Electronic Data Processing), Variant based on GT (Group Technology), Generative (based on Expert Systems and AI (Artificial Intelligence) ). The CRM (Customer Relationship Management) subsystem, the product development methodologies according to the CE (Concurrent Engineering) in relation to the various company organizations, the importance and types of shared information, the shared architectures and relational and distributed databases, Groupware, PDM (Product Data Management), Distributed Object Technology (DOT). The technologies and systems Cloud Computing, Cloud Manufacturing, IOT (Internet of Things) will be analyzed and studied in relation to the problems of integration and tactics and strategy to achieve the competitive advantage, in relation to the different application areas and risks and opportunities. , IOE (Internet of Everythings) and the Industry 4.0 paradigm. With regard to this Industry 4.0 paradigm, we will deepen in relation to its historical development in the context of Industrial Revolutions, the Security and Privacy issues, the concept of smart devices. Finally, the concept and pragmatic / pragmatic of communication will be discussed, including suggestive communication, in relation to both ICT systems, Human / Machine Interaction and human operators and the need to define and develop common communication protocols in relation to the different purposes and reduce the complexity of applications especially in multi-channel communication.
