Industrie 4.0 Summer School

The summer school “Industrie 4.0” gives an insight into the objectives and strategies of Industrie 4.0, shows the current status of activities and provides information on how to benefit from the ideas linked to Industrie 4.0 today. In addition to a theoretical introduction to Industrie 4.0, the main technologies and processes for the implementation of Industrie 4.0 will be introduced and then addressed in greater detail in a workshop. The aim is actually to enable digitisation. Starting from the process itself, the digitisation of processes will be introduced and then expanded on using hands-on examples. A model system will be used to demonstrate the technological possibilities.

  • Learn why Industrie 4.0 is so important for European industry and what is hidden behind the keyword I4.0.
  • Find out about the development strategy for Industrie 4.0 and what actions still need to be tak
  • Learn the keywords related to Industrie 4.0 from Augmented Reality to Cloud, CPS and IoT and on to SmartFactory, value creation chains and XaaS.
  • Look through the entire digital value creation chain from the intelligent sensor through to cloud services.
  • Understand which technologies make a machine, system or factory Industrie 4.0-capable in industrial communication.
  • Discover the significance of IT, IT infrastructure and IT security in the context of Industrie 4.0 for an automation system.
  • Design your first digitised processes yourself and find out about the effects on a model factory.

What is Industrie 4.0?

Being sustainable is one of the most important objectives of European production facilities. Together with industry associations, industry and universities, with Industrie 4.0 the German government has launched an initiative that aims to establish Germany as a leading provider of Cyber Physical Systems.

Industrie 4.0 is therefore not a technology but rather a work plan that relates to all areas of production.

New challenges are to be met and activities coordinated starting from processes through digitally networked systems, people and machines through to systems and products. The Industrie 4.0 platform achieves this with a holistic and coordinated strategy. Industrie 4.0 is a long-term development strategy that is only gradually gaining ground in industrial production and has different effects in different industries.

In the past few years the key areas of work have been identified and published in various publicly accessible, strategic publications. RAMI 4.0 has also been developed as a reference architecture model that covers all areas of the digital value creation chain. On the basis of this we are now able to develop new forms of production.

Sorry, no further registrations possible

We are very sorry, registrations for the upcoming Industry 4.0 Summer School are no longer possible.

Therefore, the registration form has been removed from this page on June 1st, 2019.

We kindly ask you to understand that we do not accept any further registrations, because the class is already full. We offer, however, a waiting list for potential participants in case an already registered member withdraws application. If you want to add your name to the waiting list, please write to 4.0industrie(at)fh-aachen.de to let us know.

Course Credit, I4.0 Certificate and Transcript

A participation certificate is issued for all I4.0 Summer School students and handed out at the end of the summer school. The certificate lists the topics covered, the duration of the summer school and the course credit (4 ECTS credits). The course credit does not apply for internal I4.0 students (i.e. FH Aachen students, who take part in this course over a longer time period and receive therefore 5 ECTS).

All I4.0 participants have the option to take the final written exam. In the application form, please answer the question "Do you wish to take the final written exam?" correspondingly. Those, who write the exam, will get a I4.0 transcript with a grade for their test performance. The grading scheme is as follows:

from 1.0 to 1.5    =  very good
from 1.6 to 2.5    =  good
from 2.6 to 3.5    =  satisfactory
from 3.6 to 4.0    =  sufficient
above 4.0            =  failed

Accommodation and Food

Accommodation and catering costs are not included in the participation fee. The registration fee includes only beverages during the course at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences.

As all applicants wishing to attend the summer school have to find housing on their own, please find below some useful links:
