Learning Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems and Industry 4.0-Compliant Solutions

The growing importance of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in industry results in a large demand for CPS talent and know-how. The mission of academia is to address the needs of industry for CPS engineers and to develop a curriculum to fill the existing gaps in the qualification of the CPS workforce. This curriculum for a Master of Industrial Informatics has to take into account the particular needs of local industry in order to prepare human-forces capable to work and live with Industrial CPS (ICPS) and Industry 4.0-compliant environments. This paper introduces the ICPS field with emphasis in technological solutions and presents a Binational (Germany-Argentina) Master's Program in Industrial Informatics, mapped into the RAMI 4.0 specification, developed in conjunction between Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Santa Fe (Argentina) and University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer (Germany) for teaching Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) in both countries.
