DigiTalent 4 Industry
The digital transformation to Industry 4.0 was leading to new digital developments for machines, production lines and installations. Thanks in part to advanced sensors and the use of artificial intelligence, existing assets could be optimised with regard to maintenance, energy efficiency, lifespan, productivity, and so on. This digitalisation required the sharpening of existing competencies or the acquisition of new ones, for example by following the correct training.
The aim of this project was to combine the expertise of Flanders Make, KU Leuven Campus Bruges and BEMAS for the development of a broadly applicable guidance path to support companies and employees in expanding the competences available to deal with this digitisation of products and processes. The demonstrators of the Machine Upgrading 4.0 and Smart Maintenance pilot projects were used as Experience Centres where the focus lay on upgrading existing machines and installations, and condition-based maintenance using smart digital machines, production lines and installations.
Due to the clear need among technicians for additional digital skills, these Living Lab demonstrators were ideally suited to be used as Experience Centres in order to introduce employees to this digitalisation in an experience-oriented manner and to give them insight into the required competencies.
On that basis, the need for additional digital skills could be listed. Subsequently, these needs could be linked to available training courses of various educational institutions.
