SIT Learning Factory

This project studies the benefits of immersive technology to help students and operators visualise and operate manufacturing processes using augmented objects layered over physical machines. 

Digitisation has brought about revolution in diverse aspects of industrialisation, ranging from office automation to digitalised supply chain.

In recent years, industrial companies have explored Industry 4.0 technologies to transform manufacturing and efficiently track processes for optimal resource allocation.

As part of SIT’s applied teaching and learning pedagogy, the team acquired and set up the SIT Learning Factory to demonstrate various aspects of Industry 4.0. It provides a platform for students to understand how complex systems are integrated, with numerous sensors transferring data via industry protocols such as OPC-UA and Modbus.
