Abstract

The Digital Factory Vorarlberg is the youngest Research Center of Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences. In the lab of the research center a research and learning factory has been established for educating students and employees of industrial partners. We devised learning scenarios and developed courses addressing a wide variety of topics related to Industry 4.0 and showcase best practice scenarios for various topics of digitalization. In addition, novel methods and technologies for digital production, cloud-based manufacturing, data analytics, IT- and OT-security or digital twins are being developed. A centralized SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)-System is the core data hub for the factory. As an alternative to on premise manufacturing, orders can be pushed into a cloud-based manufacturing platform, which has been developed at the Digital Factory. In this paper, we present the basic concept of the Digital Factory Vorarlberg, some of the newly developed topics as well as learning scenarios for students and industry staff.
