Addressing the practical needs of industry in the field of Industry 4.0

TestBed provides services for industry that enable businesses to design, test, and optimize Industry 4.0 application solutions tailored to the individual needs of each business and process. The workplace enables the creation of a number of variants of solutions in laboratory conditions very close to reality, which can be verified in a digital environment and the most suitable one can be implemented into real operation. Businesses thus avoid many risks and are able to quickly, and efficiently design, validate, and implement innovations in their operations. TestBed 4.0 is designed for a very wide range of situations and applications of digitization of common and specific needs of every industrial enterprise.

Today, the importance of the Industry 4.0 concept is gaining prominence in every, not just industry. The importance of this idea in this case is based on the principle of intelligent factories and the problems that naturally accompany them. These are mainly elements of digitization, simulation, optimization, but also the independent implementation of these technologies in older companies. The importance of these concepts is gaining more and more prominence due to the ever-increasing form of demands for competitiveness, thanks to which companies are profitable and prosperous. Another important part is the form of creating digital twins using visualization, which creates a digital model of, for example, a manufacturing company or its individual parts.

To solve these problems, a top laboratory of augmented and mixed reality was built, which is equipped with the latest software as well as hardware technologies, which provide students with quality and valuable teaching. As a result, students will develop their creative and technical thinking, the ability to make logical decisions and analyze important aspects that will affect the final results of their work.

Laboratory focus

The laboratory of augmented and mixed reality is mainly dedicated to the creation of a digital image of a manufacturing company or its selected parts, using various software platforms, which have a unique role in this process.

The focus of the laboratory is divided into three basic parts:

• creating digital models,
• creation of dynamic animations,
• simulation of production and logistics systems and their processes.

Students can apply their knowledge in these areas and can create simulation models of production lines, processes or even transport thanks to the dynamic simulation module from Siemens-Technomatix Plant Simulation and then look for ways and possibilities for a specific form of production process optimization. In cooperation with the practice, students are able to create simulation models of production on real layouts and thus check and identify bottlenecks, define the utilization of individual workplaces / operators or determine the throughput of the system. To create a digital model of a manufacturing company, modeling software such as Solid Works or Factory Design is used in this laboratory, where the student can design and model his own version of the manufacturing company.

The laboratory is largely dedicated to the creation of dynamic animations and static (photorealistic) images, which help to complete the compact image of the manufacturing company thanks to the Twinmotion software platform. Within this platform, the student can also model the display of the selected production space and thus create its variations and modify the views of the display as needed. Designed with a simple, intuitive user interface, it makes learning and work easier. In addition, Twinmotion creates high quality images and animations in real time.

Laboratory goals

• Creating simulation models in a software environment with subsequent verification.
• Work on solving simulation problems.
• Creation of dynamic animations for the purpose of visualization of selected production objects.
• Gaining knowledge from practice through layouts when creating digital models.
• Extension of theoretical and technical knowledge of students in the subject area of ​​digitization, software and hardware support.
• To deepen students' abilities in the process of correct decision-making and analysis.
• Creation of student final theses in the subject area.
• Cooperation with practice.

Laboratory focus

Managing business processes is one of the main pillars of a successful company. In the laboratory, students research production and non-production processes and, within the framework of digitization and simulation, create solutions for streamlining business processes. The laboratory is equipped with 10 modern computers, on which students solve the assigned problem, an interactive touch board with a projector and a SMART screen. Teaching is realized in software programs. The most used are Tecnomatix Plant Simulation and SolidWorks. In the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation program, students solve logistics processes, the company's supply activities and the optimization of the company's production process. Modeling of 2D and 3D models is realized by teaching in the SolidWorks program, where the student will gain considerable experience with modeling and simulation. Process Simulate is another software tool used in the teaching process. Process Simulate is a digital manufacturing solution for verifying the manufacturing process in a 3D environment. Process Simulate is a key tool for rapid time-to-market by allowing you to virtually validate production concepts in advance - throughout the new product launch lifecycle. The ability to leverage 3D product and resource data facilitates virtual validation, optimization, and execution of complex manufacturing processes, leading to faster startup and higher production quality. Students will test their proposed improvements in production processes. When working with SolidWorks software, they will use theoretical knowledge from subjects as the basis of construction.

Laboratory goals

• connection of theoretical knowledge with translation studies,
• improving the productivity of existing equipment from practice,
• calculation and reduction of unnecessary stocks and production time.
• 3D modeling and its application in practice or further use of models for 3D printing and the creation of prototypes or models of production machines and tools.
• developing cooperation and creativity between students in solving collective tasks.

Laboratory equipment

• 1x CTOUCH Riva,
• 1x Interactive touch panel,
• 1x EPSON EB- 695 Wi.
