Aims

The module aims to develop students’ knowledge and practical understanding of automation and IoT for industrial processes and applications.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Understand and evaluate the difference between various types of automation hardware to choose an appropriate device for an application.
2.
Develop understanding of the control and operation of hardware
3.
Design interfacing techniques between Automation hardware and industry grade IoT/edge platforms using hardware/software techniques.
4.
Import and analyse the data in IoT/edge platform from sensor and automation hardware to produce meaningful results.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Automation hardware such as raspberry pi, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. Programming the automation hardware using various techniques to understand its control and operation. Automation hardware input/output consideration. Sensors’ integration and data collection through automation hardware. Introduction to cloud/edge platforms, e.g. AWS, Siemens Mindsphere, etc., their role and applications. Learn interfacing techniques between automation hardware and cloud/edge platform, e.g. Siemens Mindsphere using i) hardware technique, OR ii) software technique. Cloud/edge platform setup, data import and monitoring for display and real-time analysis to demonstrate the concept of IoT.
