It is an introductory course to the Master, so all those admitted (according to the Master's regulations) may take it.

The objective of the course is for the student to be able to identify the models and reference structures of the Connected Industry 4.0, its component parts and interconnection, and to identify and know the technologies involved in the Connected Industry 4.0. In the course, the definitions of IC4.0, the models and structures of IC4.0, its fundamental objectives, its main structures and organizational models and main applications and examples will be studied, including the aspects of Sustainable production in IC4.0. After the course, the student will be able to identify the models and reference structures of the Connected Industry 4.0, its component parts and interconnection, and to identify and know the technologies involved in the Connected Industry 4.0.

The contents to be developed are: - Definitions of IC4.0 - Fundamental objectives of IC4.0 - Main structures of IC4.0 - Organizational models of IC4.0 - Main applications and examples of IC4.0

The training activities carried out in the subject are: AF1: Lectures/theoretical classes AF4: Laboratory practices. AF5: Tutorials AF6: Group work. AF7: Individual student work. AF8: Partial and final exams. The teaching methodologies that will be used are: MD1: Lectures will be given, with lectures in class by the professor with the support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the bibliography is provided to complement the learning of the students, aimed at the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. MD3: Theoretical-practical classes and laboratory practices will be used for the acquisition of practical skills related to the subject program. Group work will be carried out by the students in which a practical case will be developed on production and service technologies and visits will be made to relevant centers of interest. MD4: Presentation and discussion in class, under the moderation of the professor, of topics related to the content of the subject, as well as practical cases. MD5: Students will carry out group work in which a practical case will be developed on the models and structures of Connected Industry 4.0 implemented in different companies assigned by the professor, in which a presentation will be made.
