Production Digitalization

The Industry 4.0 in a nutshell. Design and implementation of 3D process simulation, VR/AR for production factory floor. Knowledge of digital twins and machine vision applications in manufacturing. Project based study and use cases to test the digital tools.

NB! This course will take place in autumn semester 2026/2027 which starts on 31st of August and ends on 24th of January (you can find that information under start date section). TalTech's timetables for autumn semester 2026 will be published at the end of June via tunniplaan.taltech.ee.

After completing this course the student:

• designs, creates digital and simulation environments of production floor/cell and integrates virtual reality possibilities for visualization;
• selects performance indicators and quality enhancement measures for production monitoring;
• creates UI for controlling animations and adds VR/AR controller in the application,
• understands and integrates machine vision tools in practice.

Final assessment can consist of one test/assignment or several smaller assignments completed during the whole course. After declaring a course the student can re-sit the exam/assessment once. Assessment can be graded or non-graded. For specific information about the assessment process please get in touch with the contact person of this course. For specific information about grade transfer please contact your home university

Expected to have a basic understanding of production engineering, digital manufacturing models (e.g., production layout and process design), process simulation and performance analysis, and the application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in manufacturing.
