Our project: joining forces to promote learning and to build sustainable teams
For our common future - and continuing friendships
KPI-NTNU Collaboration within Industry 4.0 Education
Project under the Eurasia program of Siu/Diku (now HK-dir). The current projects, and work on this wiki is based on cooperation with colleagues and friends at the KPI in Kyiv. This collaboration started around 2010, while building a common foundation for education within sustainable manufacturing.
HK-dir - our sponsor in Norway - challenged all the projects of the Eurasia program to present a 120 second (max) video about each project.

Stories and Context (Under Learning Factory examples)
Thesis work with a company/external enterprise
Research and development in the manufacturing industry - and many other industries and enterprises includes cooperating with universities like NTNU at several levels, for short term internships, small projects and thesis work- from bachelor level, via master thesis to a possible academic or "enterprise" PhD partly financed by the company- or through external financing (typically research grants).
A good example of a recent PhD-project for the company Jotne in Norway - on Digital twins, as published on the web for UiO in Oslo:
https://www.mn.uio.no/censss/english/news/young_talents.html
Doing a doctoral degree with a company
Remi Lanza recently finished his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from NTNU while working for Jotne.
-I contacted my Master´s thesis advisor because I wished to do a doctoral degree in simulation or software development. He told me Jotne was looking for a candidate so I contacted them, Lanza says.
He met with Jotne and then applied for the doctoral degree position at the company.
-For the thesis I researched how standards such as ISO 10303 can make sharing, storing, integrating and comparing data from different types of structural analyses and tests easier, in for example the aerospace industry, says Lanza.
He recommends applying for doctoral thesis work with companies who offer such positions, and as in his case, is supported by an industry PhD funding scheme.
-This way you are employed while you do your PhD, the research you do for the degree is relevant for the industry you are in and the company you are working for, and you get to meet and work with people who will be your colleagues after the degree is done, Lanza says.

Contribute to Open Standards!
We are "Technology Diplomats", playing the role of the UN for technology. Get involved!
(Gary Martz, Intel, on why it's important to contribute to standards)- ref. Brighttalk below
From LinkedIn and webinar by Brighttalk.com:
What do Wifi, USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth and #5G all have in common? They are standards that resulted from collaboration of companies across the industry (Intel among them), to solve a common problem. While standards aren't new to the #industrial sector--broadly interoperable standards for industrial #automation are. Tune in to.

However, the choice very much depends on the application, and the project and product- and evolution over time, which is a question of understanding (complex) requirements and possible use-cases, functions and capabilities.....over time....
Nice blog on IT-strategy and Architecture
https://ea.rna.nl/all-that-it-what-is-it-doing-to-us/
Aslo, much of visions of the future of smart manufacturing, including new (and more) sensors and increasingly advanced information systems for better decision-support are fueled by emerging ICT-technology we all use- more or less.
Industry 4.0 is about merging the physical worlds of operational technologies, with the virtual/digital domain of information technology. And in a human-centric point of view, it is the best use of new and old technologies and solutions that work best together - that will work best for us. A realistic approach must be both practical, economic, useful - but also inspirational and with a vision of future opportunities - and risks.
All that IT, is changing us as humans- and our business plans and requirements. The user-centric and human point of view is central to good IT, as elaborated very well in the series of reflections/blogs by Gerben Wierda (on IT-strategy and Architecture).
Of course, all that IT - and modern mobile phones for example - that are full of MEMS-based sensors and high performance integrated circuits - that are based on physical "machines", knowledge and materials technology- and design work in a manufacturing domain of its own (cleanrooms, fabs). In Norway, at least-we may find inspiration from research and education in the field of micro-and nano-technology based systems in particular...
Research School for Training the Next Generation of Micro- and Nanotechnology Researchers in Norway (TNNN)
(From NTNU Innsida):
Fakultet for ingeniørvitenskap01.07.2022
We are happy to announce that newly established research school in micro- and nanotechnology opens registration for PhD candidates, post doctoral researchers and their supervisors.
Research School for Training the Next Generation of Micro- and Nanotechnology Researchers in Norway (TNNN) is supported by the Research Council of Norway and will establish a vibrant national network of junior scientist working in Micro- and Nanotechnology. It will provide training in transferable skills and facilitate collaboration with industry.
