Significance of CAx technologies in Industry 4.0: The path from Education 4.0 to Industry 4.0 through lifelong learning in metal processing industry [articol]

Abstract

The implementation of CAx in Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enhances product development, manufacturing processes, and maintenance activities by leveraging digital technologies, connectivity, and data analytics. These implementations enable increased automation, improved productivity, better decision-making, and enhanced product quality in the context of Industry 4.0. One of the goals of the Education 4.0 is to define plans and programs for retraining, continuous learning and training of students, engineers, etc., that is, the development of higher technical education during the implementation of CAx technologies in accordance with the requirements of I4.0. This will lead to improve the level of competence and skills of teachers, engineers and students, related to CAx technologies. The education 4.0 is significant from the point of view of connecting the University and the enterprises through the development of lifelong education in the the enterprises, as well as from the aspects of the application of smart technology in I4.0
