IR 4.0 Applications Track

Projects related to IR 4.0 (4th Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0) are welcome to participate in this track. The application domains may be in one of the following areas:

• Smart manufacturing
• Waste reduction
• Real-time inventory and supply chain management
• Fault diagnosis
• Data acquisition and classification
• Task offloading
• Real-time monitoring
• Predictive analysis and maintenance
• Optimized energy management
• Productivity and yield improvement
• Automation and advanced robotics

In essence, IR 4.0 is an integration of new technologies that include Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning into the manufacturing environment. The adoption of the IR 4.0 concept leads to increased automation, predictive maintenance, self-optimization of process improvements, and heightened efficiencies and responsiveness.

Sample projects:

• Core IR 4.0 platform which interacts with thousands of connected devices in manufacturing plants and displays all manufacturing KPI (quality e.g. yield, cost e.g. defect, and delivery e.g. machine downtime) in real time.
• Tile Inspection and Sorting System
• Automated Cell Detection and Characterization Using AIoT for Bio-Research and Manufacturing Towards IR 4.0

Benefit of joining:

• Technology training on the concept of IR 4.0 and the supporting technologies.
• Gain hands-on experience on developing IR 4.0 application.
• Enhance your employability and access to high-income job opportunities.
