1. Changes in the past 100 years through structural change

100 years: Increase of productivity in manufacturing: < 4000%

50 years : Increase of productivity in the office: < 4000%

100 years : Income increases due to these productivity increases: < 3500%

100 years : Increase of life expectancy more than doubled (the average in Germany has increase by 38 years)

Industrial Revolution

This was the beginning of

a profound and lasting

transformation of

Economic conditions

Social conditions

Working conditions

Living conditions

The German

Government is sure

that Industry 4.0 will

have a similar effect

on our society and

country.

Cautions of political visions

I had a dream: Vision of the perfect apprentice?

Technical Visions enables you to see visually what is possible:

Industry 4.0: A vision on the road to implementation

Learning 4.0: A vision that still needs to be developed

Industry 4.0 requires Learning 4.0

6

The Vision: Learning 4.0

„Wer Visionen hat soll

zum Arzt gehen!“

Helmut Schmidt 2002

“Whoever has visions should

go to a doctor!”

Training Systems

The term “Industry 4.0” comes from a future oriented project of the high tech strategy of the German government and industry and this development should be promoted as soon as possible.

2. Industry 4.0

Training Systems

Goals and Features of Industry 4.0

8

The goal is the "intelligent factory“ (Smart Factory) Flexible and adaptable 1 piece for one client Self controlling production and logistics All parts are networked and exchange information autonomously Efficient use of resources and environmentally friendly Integration of all stakeholders in business and value add processes The Technologies basis are Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the “Internet of Things“

Training Systems

Industry 4.0 requires new service based, real time CPS platforms

The Internet of Things and services – networking of people, objects and systems.

Example: Automotive Manufacturing

Today Cyclic manufacture of vehicles

on the assembly line

Tomorrow Decoupled, fully flexible and highly

integrated production systems

Qualifications for Industry 4.0

With industry 4.0, the integration of IT into the production process will mean massive changes to the:

Work processes

Work content

And require the expansion of the qualification profiles of:

Skilled workers in the factories

Experienced engineers

And especially for those in the training sector

Initial approaches to the content of these skills exist today, but full systemization is still a long way off.

Changes to Vocational Education

16

The complexity of the systems are increasing

The rate of change of the knowledge increases

Production will be taken over by clever automation and robots

Future role will most likely be “operator of complex systems”

Systems thinking comes to the fore

In the short term, many jobs need to change, modernize and be rearranged

Mid-term, some occupations will disappear and new ones will be created

Training Systems

4. Learning 4.0 in Vocational Education

What is new? What is different?

Vocational education will take a back seat

Training in complex systems will be required (commissioning, maintenance, and diagnosis)

Lifelong learning will be essential

Knowledge of IT and networking will massively increase in all occupations

17

Training Systems

In the Automotive Industry, the future of automated 4.0 production has already begun How do we train the people to meet the requirement? Today I want to share with you the experience in Germany.
