Introduction To Cyber-Physical Systems & Internet of Things - Module

The aim of this module is to enable the learner to programme standard ICT Boards, I/O, sensors and gateways in order to collect time-series data streams. Furthermore, the application of data stream analysis at the Board/Gateway level (edge computing) will be explored. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will also be considered with exposure to Software platforms such as Blue Prism

The module is broken down to provide an overview of the following areas:

Understanding embedded systems, the Internet-of-things (IoT) and the cyber-physical systems (sensors, control boards) necessary for data acquisition in business environments.

Understand standard ICT Boards, I/O, sensors, and gateways in order to collect timeseries data streams.

Manage and apply data stream analysis at the Board/Gateway level

Appreciate how edge computing can be used in data acquisition

Be able to program an application to acquire and log time-series data streams, with appropriate timestamps, data cleansing and formatting.

Applications Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

On successful completion of the module students will be able to implement an application to capture and analyse relevant real-time industry data, relevant to the learner's practice.
