Credit Points: 15 credit points

Workload: 48 hours

Prerequisite: BDA213 Data Analytics in Smart Applications

Co-requisite: N/A

Aims & Objectives

This is an elective unit out of a total of 24 units in the Bachelor of Data Analytics (BDA). This unit addresses the BDA course learning outcomes and complements other courses in related fields by developing students’ specialised knowledge of data analytics in smart applications to meet the latest industry demands . For further course information refer to: http://www.mit.edu.au/study-with-us/programs/Bachelor-DA. This unit is part of the AQF level 7 (BDA) course.

Smart industry and manufacturing are composed of fully integrated, collaborative manufacturing systems that incorporate data-driven technologies to respond to the changing demands and conditions within the production and supply environment. The smart industry covers sectors such as smart grids, smart buildings and smart cities, smart logistics and supply chains. The applications can also stem into smart mobility and traffic, smart workplaces and environments, and smart services.  The smart side of manufacturing directly deals with the role of data in industry and automation. The data preparation and processing technologies that revolutionized the industry to be smart include the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, autonomous robots, augmented reality, cybersecurity, realistic simulation, additive manufacturing and so on.

In this unit, students will learn to plan, design, and evaluate smart industry automation using data analytics tools and methodologies.  They will gain knowledge of tools and methodologies in data analytics solutions for smart industry automations.  Students will also gain practical experience of deploying and testing smart applications that are relevant to industry market demands.

This unit will cover the following topics:

  • Robotics and automations
  • Simulation and augmented reality
  • Cognitive computing devices
  • IoT: components, topology and design considerations
  • IoT strategy and implementation for system quality assurance and business continuity
  • IoT in real life applications
  • Future trends in IoT
