Towards Průmysl 4.0 at Brno University of Technology Prof. Pavel Václavek – Cybernetics in Material Science Research group leader

2 Brno University of Technology  the second largest and oldest technical university in Czech Republic  established in 1899 by Franz Josef I.  8 faculties and 3 institutes  students  Ph.D. students  employees

3 Research centers at BUT  State-of-the-art R&D infrastructure built within OP R&DI  European centers of excellence  CEITEC – Central European Institute of Technology  IT4Innovations  Regional research centers  CVVOZE - Research and Utilization of Renewable Energy  SIX - Center of Sensor, Information and Communication Systems  NETME - New Technologies for Mechanical Engineering

4 Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication Department of Control and Instrumentation  established 1960, tradition in applied research of control and automation of industrial processes  education programs aimed to automation  Bachelor – Automation and Instrumentation  Master – Cybernetics, Control and Instrumentation  Ph.D. – Cybernetics, Control and Instrumentation  close cooperation with CEITEC

5 Central European Institute of Technology  established by as European center of excellence in Brno in 2011, start-up phase finished in 12/2015, now in full operation  fundamental and applied research in engineering, materials and life-science  group Cybernetics in Material Science  automation, instrumentation, robotics  synergies with material science (tools, sensors,…)  synergies with life-science (HMI, man-machine interaction)

6 CEITEC - Cybernetics in Material Science FEEC – Department of Control and Instrumentation Wired and Wireless Industrial communication High-performance embedded systems Computer Vision Smart sensors Sensors design using new materials Signal processing Measurement of electrical and non- electrical quantities Algorithms Industrial processes control Drives and Power Systems Control Automatic control Sensors & Measurement Robotics Embedded systems, communication and computer vision

7 Research projects related to Industry 4.0  Cooperation on national level - key role of centers of competences TA ČR  CAK 3 – Center of Applied Cybernetics 3  CIDAM – Center of Inteligent Drives and Advanced Machine Control  Advanced sensors and sensor data processing methods  International cooperation in FP7/H2020 projects  EMC² – Embedded Multi-Core systems for Mixed Criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real- time environments

8 Changes in research  Strong link between fundamental and applied research needed  supported by H2020 but difficult within national projects  Complete solutions required, not only particular technology  Faster development of many innovated components in parallel  virtual prototyping of components  model-base design

9 Virtual prototyping Source: KEMET Source: Infineon Source: Siemens EV

11 Cooperation with industry and institutes  International cooperation within FP7/H2020 project, contract research  National cooperation within TA ČR projects, contract research  Key partners– Infineon Technologies, Siemens, Daimler, NXP, ZF Friedrichshafen, AVL, Danfoss, B&R, ABB, Honeywell, Fraunhofer, TU Dresden, OTH-AW  National cooperation with CTU and UWB  Cooperation with companies abroad is more intensive than cooperation with Czech companies  Preparations for new regional center for SMEs support are under way in cooperation with South-Moravian Innovation Centre

12 Challenges in education  Industry 4.0 in Czech Republic is just starting, but the technological change already started  What should be the focus of studies?  Deep knowledge of technologies and underlying theory (developers of technologies)  Knowledge of the technologies and their properties (application engineers)  Knowledge of selected products (technicians)  Study programs already contain most of the needed topics, optimization needed  New study programs on national level expected
