AI in Manufacturing (MADE) - REBOOT

The course aims to provide a clear understanding of the key concepts of artificial intelligence and its applications in the manufacturing sector, analysing techniques, challenges and opportunities. It also presents key industry figures to support the strategic adoption of AI in production processes.

The REBOOT (Rebooting manufacturing industry with digitalisation skill development) project aims to make digital upskilling opportunities available and accessible to employees in small and medium-sized organisations (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector. Advanced digital skills courses are available in key areas for manufacturing like Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). The project is funded under the DIGITAL Europe Programme of the European Union.
