Mestrado em Automação Inteligente

This program gives you the prerequisites for a leading role in the future smart factory where digitization and virtual tools affect the daily work of both supervisors and operators.

About The Program

In the future smart factory, digitalization will not be limited to mechanical equipment and production systems, but also greatly affect the daily work of both management and operators. The machine and production equipment will be designed, constructed, launched, and run based on models, simulations, and optimizations using artificial intelligence and other advanced computer technologies. High demands on productivity and deliveries are today a matter of course in the modern industry, while business and sustainable development are natural elements in all activities.

The Intelligent Automation Master's Programme provides you with the tools to develop and validate the future manufacturing system using virtual engineering tools. For many years, the use of computerized engineering tools and virtual technologies has increased. There is nothing to suggest that the trend will slow or reduce. On the contrary, the future manufacturing system will be characterized by a higher degree of intelligent technology realized through autonomous, connected, and smart components.

The Focus of Your Studies

The Master's Programme in Intelligent Automation focuses on providing you with the skills required for tomorrow's engineers so that you will be able to address challenges and take advantage of new technological solutions. Through your studies on the Master's Programme, you are expected to acquire a holistic view of the link between production technology, industrial automation, and information technology.

Intelligent Automation is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how complex engineering problems and systems should be designed and managed from a lifecycle perspective using virtual engineering tools. The Master's Programme includes various techniques and tools, such as modeling, simulation, optimization, digital twins, product lifecycle management, and also industrial system philosophy, system thinking and sustainability, and innovation in order to meet requirements of the future "Smart factory".

We are a modern and welcoming university, with first-class education and internationally competitive research, a place where we strive for the greatest accomplishments.

Ever since its inception in 1977, we have aimed for excellence. Every decision, every achievement has emerged from a focus on creating excellent and well-known educations and research specializations that make a difference to reality.

Education

We are a modern and welcoming university, with first-class education and internationally competitive research, a place where we strive for the greatest accomplishments. The University of Skövde offers a wide range of postgraduate studies and International Master's programs taught in English as well as three Bachelor's programs.

Research for Change

The researchers at the University of Skövde want to contribute to making changes. That is why our research efforts are carried out in tight collaboration with our community. Furthermore, the research has a clear connection to the education at the university.

Our aim is that the university's research should make a difference locally, nationally as well as internationally. The share of the research that receives external funds is 66% (2019), and our principal contributors are KK-stiftelsen (The Knowledge Foundation), the EU, the Region Västra Götaland, and private companies.

The University of Skövde has five research fields. Three of these are Systems Biology, Informatics, and Virtual Engineering. These three form the foundation for INFINIT. The university's joint theme of Digitalization for Sustainable Development should always be integrated into all research projects and environments to the greatest extent possible.
