Abstract

The emergence, in the context of Industry 4.0, of tools for developing Digital Twins of automated industrial systems brings about a paradigm shift in the development of control systems. Their virtual commissioning allows for shortening delivery times of automated solutions, among other benefits, but also highlights the need for competent technicians in these technologies. The academic classroom is a breeding ground for future professionals. This article presents an initiative carried out by the Technological Innovation and Intelligent Systems area at Tknika to exploit and transfer results of projects and services developed with these tools to vocational training teachers.
