Intelligent Machining

Manufacturers are increasingly utilizing self-aware machine tools that are able to make decisions related to machine activity processes. This is called intelligent machining, and through this course, participants receive a primer on its background, tools and related terminology. They learn about various sensors and sensing techniques, process control strategies, and open architecture systems that can be leveraged to enable intelligent machining. This is the fifth of nine courses in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology series that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” commonly known as Industry 4.0.

This online course is available on the Coursera platform.

Course Duration: Approximately 9 hours
