The course "Seminar Development of Automated Production Systems" aims at the practical project planning of automated production systems based on realistic industrial use cases. The content framework of the course results from the holistic, practical project planning task of an automated production plant. Firstly, the basics of production automation are taught as an introduction. The aspects of multi-machine systems and project planning are then examined in depth. An interdisciplinary approach to these sub-areas results in interfaces to Industry 4.0 approaches. The core of the course is the project planning of a use case based on the procedure taught. In doing so, the students should apply the methods taught in a problem-related and results-orientated manner and thus develop an automation solution. 

Learning Outcomes:

The students...

• are able to name and describe the automation tasks in production plants and the components required for implementation.
• understand the challenges that can arise when using automation solutions in production.
• are able to independently analyse a practical problem in production with regard to the application of automation. 
• are able to assess the results of automation problems and, based on this, develop and apply practical solutions.
