Project Summary

Nowadays in Europe, automation is reshaping the manufacturing tools to decrease the product cost withinenvironmental objective guidelines, customized production and valuable improvement of work conditions. At oppositeside, in least developed countries of Asia the labour market has mostly found employment in farming andmanufacturing is still using low cost manpower with poor qualification profile. For these Asian countries, the industrialstructure of the economy is still at its beginning and is facing many challenges with their education system. One of themis the lack of expert educated with corresponding skills to work on new technology of automation in processing andmanufacturing system. It is usual in the corresponding factories to find foreigners holding high qualified job profile asuniversities have not yet incorporated dedicated lab to provide the right skills to their students. Asean Factori 4.0 projectpropose to contribute to this challenge by the design of a set of industrial automation labs with a corresponding stafftraining program to initiate the foundation of center of excellence in Automation. In each institution, different kinds ofpedagogical process will be implemented and tested to create a network of competencies among our partner countriesfollowing their local needs and to permit cross learning approach during the project. Through the Industry 4.0 roadmap,the project is the first step to educate students to prepare a future generation of qualified workers able to implementadvanced manufacturing and processing machinery.
