Planet 4 – Inspired by Industry4.0 Challenges
Planet4 – Practical Learning of Artificial Intelligence on the Edge for indusTry 4.0 project aims at filling the gap between scientific research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and its industrial application as enabling technology for the Industry 4.0 paradigm. The project enables a knowledge transfer between academia and industry by achieving the following objectives:
- design and execution of a b-learning course for the integration of AI technologies in I4.0 applications, with particular focus on ML, edge computing and Industrial IOT technologies;
- formalization and evaluation of a novel method for the description of industrial digitalization needs and pains aimed at enabling fast identification of the most appropriate AI methodologies;
- formalization of a framework of soft skills and related training materials for 4.0 Innovation and Change Management training workshops, aimed at empowering learners with those transversal skills essential to working in the frame of the 4th industrial revolution;
- design and development of a portal for the collection and sharing of best practices in the application of AI and ML on the edge for I4.0 applications.
The project approach is cross-disciplinary and focuses on both hard skills in AI and ML technologies and soft competencies needed to manage the changes introduced in the industrial ecosystem. Moreover, the project will give academics the possibility to gather needs and requirements from the industrial world, allowing the adaptation of AI teaching to better fit the real-world industrial pains and needs.
