Course details

More about this course
  • This course will help you recognize how the "digital thread" is the backbone of the digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) transformation, turning manufacturing processes from paper-based to digital-based. You will have a working understanding of the digital thread ? the stream that starts at product concept and continues to accumulate information and data throughout the product?s life cycle ? and identify opportunities to leverage it.
  • Gain an understanding of how "the right information, in the right place, at the right time" should flow. This is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of a digital design process. Acknowledging this will enable you to be more involved in a product?s development cycle, and to help a company become more flexible.
  • Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos.
  • This is the second course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing?s ?Fourth Revolution,? aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional goal. To learn more about the Digital Manufacturing and Design Technology specialization, please watch the overview video by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: https://youtu.be/wETK1O9c-CA
