PLANET4

Practical Learning of Artificial iNtelligence on the Edge for indusTry 4.0

2020-2023

Project No 621639-EPP-1-2020-1-IT-EPPKA2-KA

Aim of the Project

PLANET4 aims at training a new generation of AI and ML on the edge experts who will contribute to the spreading of the I4.0 real practices in the EU companies by enabling the use of AI and ML for the optimization of industrial processes. PLANET4 experts will lead this disruptive change thanks to a set of hard and soft skills they will be trained on during the course.

Especially when it comes to fulfilling the increasing needs regarding I4.0, a Uni-Business integrated approach is necessary in order to combine the theoretical knowledge with its practical application. A renovated educational offer should include hard and soft skills, mind-set and professional attitude, providing the participants with the necessary tools to work in groups towards realistic goals, evaluate situations, seek solutions and bring about innovation and topical issues.

RESEARCH RELATED TO

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Edge Computing

To better prepare European students to work in industry using emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things and Edge Computing, PLANET4 is conducting a study to identify:

Current industrial challenges - Questionnaire for Companies,
Knowledge about emerging technologies transferred to students - Questionnaire for Academics,
Students’ current knowledge about emerging technologies - Questionnaire for Students.

We invite you to take part in the research.

Presentation of the PLANET4 project on

13th International LLA Conference

“Current industry challenges and available technological solutions”

organized by Rzeszów University of Technology, Rzeszów, Poland

26 May 2023

On May 26, 2023 Carl Hans from the German company OHS Engineering GmbH, in his speech reviewed the current industry challenges related to the implementation of digitization in industry and modern technologies. These challenges includes:

the need to make significant initial investments related to the implementation of digitization,
the need to involve external expects with the competences required during the digitalization implementation,
the need to modernize the technical infrastructure so that it can be part of the cyber-physical system,
reluctance of employees to digitalization,
the emergence of new professions and the need to create new jobs,
insufficient competences in the field of soft skills among company employees..

Carl Hans presents the results of the Planet4 project
