CFD modeling in Industry 4.0: New perspectives for smart factories

Abstract Industrial market is becoming increasingly competitive and companies need even more advanced resources to advantage over competitors. As an example, simulation is part of Industry 4.0 technologies and a key tool for lay out re-configuration, in order to realize a flexible product customization but also to optimize manufacturing processes. For these reasons Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation can determine a competitive advantage for smart factories in the light of possibilities offered by new technologies. The research is focused on a conceptual solution to integrate CFD simulation with technologies of the Industry 4.0, in order to open new opportunities for companies in terms of in terms of growth and competitiveness

Proceedings of the GPEA Polytechnic Summit 2022: Session Papers

Welcome to GPEA PS 2022 Each year the Polytechnic Summit assembles leaders, influencers and contributors who shape the future of polytechnic education. The Polytechnic Summit provides a forum to enable opportunities for collaboration and partnerships and for participants to focus on innovation in curriculum and pedagogy, to share best practices in active and applied learning, and discuss practice-based research to enhance student learning. This year a view on the aspects of applied research will be added. How to conduct research in a teaching first environment and make use of this. Which characteristics of applied research are important to be used in teaching and vice versa?The Summit will – once again - also provide an opportunity to examine the challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19 and will offer us all an opportunity to explore the ways in which we can collaborate more effectively using our new-found virtual engagement skills and prepare for a hybrid future.
