The factory of the future is here—and MIT’s research and applications are leading the way in enabling this transformation. In our interactive 10-week course, you’ll draw on MIT’s more than 100 years of university-industry collaboration to learn how sensors, software, and systems can create a smart enterprise at any scale. From modeling to manufacturing systems to advanced data analytics, you’ll acquire the smart technology strategies you need to get—and stay—ahead.
This course is part of our Professional Certificate Program in Industry 4.0
Smart manufacturing is a convergence of modern data science techniques and artificial intelligence to form the factory of the future. Smart manufacturing is about increasing efficiency and eliminating pain points in your system. It’s characterized by a highly connected, knowledge-enabled industrial enterprise where all organizations and operating systems are linked, leading to enhanced productivity, sustainability, and economic performance.
This online program brings together cutting-edge technology like machine learning, the Internet of Things, and data analytics to understand the current transformation of the manufacturing sector.
In keeping with MIT’s founding principle, Mens et Manus (Mind and Hand)—the synergy of theory and practice is at the heart of the learning experience—you’ll learn by doing. The program centers around a smart machine—a fiber extrusion device, fondly referred to as FrED—to demonstrate concepts as well as incorporate problem-solving skills into the curriculum. Furthermore, you'll have a chance to engage with your peers and expert learning facilitators to explore how these concepts can be leveraged in your organization. Regardless of where you are on your smart manufacturing journey, this program provides the latest thought leadership in smart manufacturing techniques.
