Adoption of Industry 4.0 Learning Factory teaching framework for Uzbek Technical Universities for robot programming
Keywords:
Learning factory, digitalization, robot programming, Industry 4.0.Abstract
The proposed "Learning Factory" framework developed by Tashkent Turin Polytechnic University (TTPU) is based on the design, hardware, production, integration and management phases, as well as three manufacturing levels: Shop Floor, Control and Top Floor. The first layer of the outlined framework, initially implemented and validated to teach engineering students for shop floor activities, proposes a 'machine coding and operation' layer for product and process monitoring. This layer is intended to teach mechanical engineering students of the manufacturing process course. The next step of the proposed framework deals with robot programming in shop floor activities. To address these issues, professors at Tashkent Turin Polytechnic University developed a teaching laboratory manual for shop floor robot programming for mechanical and industrial engineering students. This level uses RoboDK offline robot programming and URe5 collaborative robot for case study. It is expected that this layer will generate new competences, support the emergence of new business models, business networks and spin-offs in the region.
