Web based resources (IIC etc)
The Industry IoT Consortium is probably the best place to explore current efforts of advancing the knowledge and standards including:
- updated reference architectures (and patterns)
- open white papers on the most important subjects/use-cases and technologies (to be discussed)
- Foundational documents (and resources for communication)
Patterns and best practice examples, systems and models for re-use and inspiration are valuable. Education happens through systematic "Learning by doing" - and is a continuous process going well beyond a formal education- at NTNU or elsewhere. Knowing where to start is often a great challenge, and guidance may be hard to find- even though Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0 and similar concepts are everywhere on the internet and already a part of popular culture in various forms....
Models like the OSI model for the internet and the ISA 95 model for industrial information systems are well known patterns/theory used in the industry and current "state-of-the-art", below example (figure by Badarinath Katti, thesis, 2020):
Learning factory examples
"The future of Industry 4.0 Education" as outlined in the recent textbook/collection from Springer Science (Darmstadt), and examples implemented by e.g. Festo Didactic as Cyber-Physical Learning Factories at NTNU and elsewhere.
Model of learning factories in the context of Industry 4.0 (above) first presented in a paper from 2020 (Tvenge et al.), available at NTNU Open:

People-Profits-Planet (Stories and context)
This wiki-page will form a joint study of this wide topic (Industry 4.0) and education to support the smart factories of the future.
We start through a project and aim to continue after the project - through ongoing support at our places of work and life (support) at home.
