abstract
- This paper describes a proposal for a flexible laboratory where students can learn automation through the implementation of cyber-physical system, digital twins and physical elements. This flexibility is possible due to the fact that the laboratory can be configured as one of the options mentioned above, and the experimentation can be onsite or remote, all of these elements are included on the same platform. This type of systems is emphasized because they are technologies that are currently part of Industry 4. 0. It is essential that engineering students master these technologies. The proposed flexible laboratory was used in the course 'Industrial Networks Project', and after experimentation, it was observed that this laboratory contributes to student learning, in addition to generating motivation and engagement. © 2024 IEEE.
