01Introduction to Industry 4.0 and 5.0
Core technologies of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 — artificial intelligence, data science, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cloud computing. Understanding the evolution of industrial automation and real-world use cases in manufacturing environments.

From regression, decision trees and Support Vector Machines (SVM) to recurrent neural networks and deep learning. Emphasis on feature selection techniques and ensemble algorithms applied to industrial datasets.

IoT/IIoT architectures, protocols and devices, with a focus on the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). Industrial IoT applications in real-world manufacturing scenarios.

Fundamental concepts and architectures of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), their relationship with automatic control, distributed real-time embedded systems, IIoT and digital twins within the Industry 4.0 framework.

Creation and deployment of digital twins for modelling physical objects and processes, using photogrammetry, machine learning and large language models. Real-world use cases in Industry 4.0 applications.

Extended Reality (XR) technologies and their relevance to Industry 4.0. Hands-on development of XR solutions for training, design and digital transformation of industrial processes across different sectors.

Circular economy principles embedded within the Industry 4.0 framework — remanufacturing, industrial symbiosis, smart cities and the design of sustainable production chains. Practical skills for real-world circular economy applications.

Fundamental NLU/NLG techniques and machine learning models for text analysis, with a focus on industrial applications such as document processing, automated reporting and conversational AI systems.

01Industrial Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity principles for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT), from threat detection and vulnerability assessment to incident response and security of industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC UA).

Signal processing methods, data compression, dimensionality reduction and optimisation techniques for large-scale industrial datasets. Spatial data indexing structures and iterative optimisation schemes.

Integration of AI, IoT and data analytics to build a manufacturing environment that dynamically adapts to production and supply chain requirements. Principles of digital and innovative industrial transformation.

Scientific methodology (research design and execution), technical writing, and project management. Use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for document drafting and project scenario simulation.

Blockchain technology, cryptographic security and consensus mechanisms (Proof of Work, etc.), applied to improving transparency and integrity in industrial supply chains and distributed trusted systems.

From digital image filtering and feature detection to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), depth estimation and object tracking in industrial production lines. Practical exercises in feature matching and image alignment.

Principles of interactive systems design, usability evaluation methods and user interface development techniques, applied to real-world industrial information systems. From requirements gathering to prototype development.

Penetration testing methodologies and incident response procedures for industrial networks (IT/OT convergence). Vulnerability discovery tools (Nmap, Metasploit, OpenVAS) and exploitation techniques targeting industrial protocols.
