This module ties the ecosystem together.

We introduce the concept of the Digital Thread—the seamless flow of data from design to production to end-of-life.

You will analyze Data Networks and the Cyber Structure required to support a fully digitized facility.

We examine Design Process Technologies and how they feed directly into Production Processes.

A major focus is Intelligent Machining and Advanced Manufacturing Processes, where machines self-correct based on sensor feedback.

We explore the convergence of Sensors, Actuators, and IIoT specifically within the machining context and look ahead to Future Trends in autonomous production.
