The concept of a smart production systems emerged from the future factories, future cities and autonomous and adaptive robotic systems production philosophies that then has been supported with recent technological advances in IoT systems, communication technologies, high -performance computing, intelligent systems and algorithms and augmented reality. The concept initially developed and applied on the Industry 4.0 framework which is the 4th industrial revolution to digitise the manufacturing environment to provide optimal production conditions for the manufacturing environment and interoperability between cyber and physical systems. Later, this philosophy has been enhanced for different systems which has paved new enhancements and philosophies like digital twins, smart cities and 4.0 frameworks for manufacturing systems. The module is an interdisciplinary module that covers the manufacturing and production systems, applications of IoT systems, wireless communications systems and microcontroller applications, cyber-physical systems and overall smart production architectures in production systems and smart cities.   By the end of the module, you will have a good understanding of digitalised manufacturing and service systems, cyber and physical systems, cloud computing, digital twin concept and artificial intelligence applications in manufacturing systems and smart cities which will be underpinned with several use cases, practical applications and projects.      Pre-requisite or Co-requisite modules: None.
