Description

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge required to apply modern cloud and locally-based digitisation strategies to manufacturing and engineering workplaces and enterprises in their supply chain. The qualification includes strategies for networking of machines and sites, automation, digital data collection and processing, and other systems and techniques required to implement the cyber-physical systems and technologies often referred to under the general terms of Industry 4.0.

The qualification includes Industry 4.0–specific units of competency and units supplying supporting skills and knowledge. The qualification is suitable for both existing employees and new entrants to manufacturing and engineering organisations or supporting service organisations.

Completion of this qualification will enable a person to work in a variety of Industry 4.0–related roles including as a lead or ‘champion’ for Industry 4.0–implementation in an organisation or in more direct roles implementing automation, networking, data handling and other digital systems in an enterprise, either individually or as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
