Framework for the Development of a Cyber-Physical Systems Learning Centre

Abstract The paper presents a framework for the development of a Cyber-Physical Systems Learning Centre that focuses on implementing Industry 4.0 concepts for teaching, training, and research. The Centre includes a series of specialized learning labs that allow the development various technical skills needed for production from the concept phase to the final product. The Learning Centre is expected to complement students’ qualifications and abilities by providing new technical skills that emphasize the inherent multidisciplinary nature of smart systems and advanced manufacturing. The Centre will also be a modern training facility for specialists from industry who are interested in the advantages of implementing Industry 4.0 concepts in their facilities.
