Overview

Industrial Automation & Applications - Level 3

Industrial Automation & Applications, also known as smart manufacturing, is the realisation of the field’s digital transformation, bringing real-time decision making, increased productivity, flexibility and agility. Industrial Automation & Applications is transforming how businesses make, improve and distribute their products. Manufacturers are incorporating new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and analytics, and AI and machine learning into their manufacturing facilities and processes.

The development of smart factories offers a fantastic opportunity for the manufacturing industry to enter the fourth industrial revolution. Analysing massive volumes of data received from factory floor sensors ensures real-time awareness of manufacturing assets and can provide tools for doing predictive maintenance to minimise equipment downtime.

This course will explore the automation and application aspects of Industrial Automation & Applications. This is very useful for students studying mechanical, manufacturing and industrial engineering. Furthermore, those experts who are already a part of any manufacturing industry will gain further understanding about numerous technological developments that can alter their current methods accordingly.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
