Preparation of an Excellence Center in Industry 4.0 Based on Computer Engineering Paradigm

The presence of Industry 4.0 has altered the requirements of industrial workforces. Previously, the personnel in charge of information systems and plant operations were divided and worked in different concepts and methods. Nevertheless, the convergence of Industry 4.0 has encouraged the development of maintenance workforces capable of both information processing and machine maintenance. In response, an excellence center in Industry 4.0 in as aspect of computer engineering discipline is to be established to support the paradigm change in industry. The Asean Factori 4.0 project, an ERASMUS+ project funded by the European Union, is assisting with the process. The preparation of the excellence center is divided into two parts: the hardware and software definitions, and the staff preparations. The design and delivery of hardware and software is progressed according to the schedule, and the staff are being prepared as intended in the form of seminar and training. The feedback and evaluation strongly state that the audiences and the trainees are well satisfied and educated.
