Real-time Simulation for Industry 4.0

Module code: EG4231

Are you ready to revolutionise how industries operate in the era of Industry 4.0? Are you interested in manufacturing in the near future with full assistance from robots and automation lines? The Real-time Simulation for Industry 4.0 module equips you with cutting-edge skills in real-time simulation techniques, essential for testing and validating complex systems in motor drives, automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. You will learn to create and apply dynamic models using industry-standard simulation software and hardware tools, such as OPAL-RT, for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and rapid control prototyping. This module focuses on developing your ability to critically analyse simulation results, validate system performance, and propose optimisations. Through a combination of lectures, practical workshops, and projects, you will gain hands-on experience in real-time testing and simulation, preparing you to tackle real-world engineering challenges with innovative solutions.
