Introduction
The programme “Industrial Control Engineering and Smart Automation System Design for Modern Factories with Artificial Intelligence Integration” develops professional practice in Engineering. It connects the subject with workplace challenges by examining existing evidence and practices and choosing methods appropriate to the organization and its available resources.
The learning progresses from electrical systems, control, and operational efficiency to project planning and implementation control, with practical work on artificial intelligence applications and controls, designing digital transformation and developing services, engineering design, modeling, and simulation. Participants prepare outputs to support workplace application and review the quality and results of implementation.
Learning objectives
- Read a training electrical system and identify inspection, protection, and control requirements in an application related to “Industrial Control Engineering and Smart Automation System Design for Modern Factories with Artificial Intelligence Integration”.
- Design an AI use case with verification criteria and human review.
- Assess digitization opportunities and define implementation requirements that improve a service or process.
- Build an engineering model and assess its assumptions, limitations, and verification results.
- Prepare a project plan connecting scope, time, resources, and risks.
Learning areas
1. Electrical Systems, Control, and Operational Efficiency
- Read a training single-line or control diagram, identifying supply, loads, protection and measurement devices, and system boundaries.
- Analyze load, power quality, and efficiency requirements and fault indicators, checking data accuracy and conformity with equipment specifications.
- Identify the roles of protection, earthing, isolation, coordination, and control, referring settings and execution to specialists and approved technical references.
- Design an inspection and testing checklist covering criteria, tools, responsibilities, safety procedures, and permits without instructions for intervention on an energized circuit.
- Prepare a technical report comparing readings with approved limits and presenting possible causes, proposed actions, and approval requirements before execution. The application examines a case related to “Industrial Control Engineering and Smart Automation System Design for Modern Factories with Artificial Intelligence Integration”.
2. Artificial Intelligence Applications and Controls
- Identify a task that AI can support, and separate inputs and human decisions from outputs produced by the tool.
- Prepare suitable test data and examples while respecting confidentiality, privacy, and permissions, and use de-identified training exercise data.
- Write clear instructions covering the task, context, constraints, and output format, and compare multiple formulations using a fixed set of examples.
- Check outputs for errors, bias, and unsupported information, and identify cases that require specialist review.
- Assess the feasibility of use in terms of quality, time, cost, and risk, and document controls for approval, monitoring, and stopping when failures occur.
3. Designing Digital Transformation and Developing Services
- Distinguish information digitization, step automation, and business model transformation, and identify the problem targeted by the digital intervention.
- Map the beneficiary journey, touchpoints, and repeated data requests, and identify opportunities for simplification before selecting technology.
- Analyze readiness across procedures, skills, data, and technical infrastructure, and document gaps and dependencies on existing systems.
- Specify solution, integration, access permission, usability, and accessibility requirements, and establish testable acceptance criteria.
- Design a limited-scope pilot with indicators for time, quality, and use, and define conditions for continuing, adjusting, or stopping.
4. Engineering Design, Modeling, and Simulation
- Translate needs into requirements, design limits, and load or operating cases, documenting criteria and references relevant to the case.
- Prepare an engineering model showing dimensions, materials, relationships, and constraints, and review consistency between drawings, assumptions, and inputs.
- Select a simulation method suited to the problem, define boundary conditions, and examine the sensitivity of results to input quality and model settings.
- Compare outputs with a reference calculation or available test data, distinguishing calculation accuracy from the validity of the model's representation of reality.
- Prepare a design report explaining results, limitations, risks, and required modifications, specifying matters requiring specialist engineering review and approval.
5. Project Planning and Implementation Control
- Define the project rationale, expected results, stakeholders, and success criteria, and document the scope of work and exclusions.
- Break deliverables into work packages and related activities, and estimate durations, resources, and activity dependencies.
- Prepare a schedule and cost baseline, identify delivery and review milestones, and clarify approval and escalation responsibilities.
- Analyze implementation risks, define responses and warning indicators, and control change requests and their effects on time and cost.
- Build a progress report covering variances, decisions, and lessons learned, and define procedures for accepting deliverables and closing the project.
Practical outputs
- A functional diagram, checklist, and preliminary analysis of electrical system performance.
- A use case brief and a test template for the quality of AI outputs.
- A digital transformation roadmap covering the beneficiary journey and implementation requirements.
