Abstract

The movement to digitally transform Saudi Arabia in all sectors has already begun under the focused “Vision 2030” programme. Consequently, the task of renovating and standardizing manufacturing and other production industries to compete with global challenges is essential. The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), triggered by the development of information and communications technologies (ICTs), provides a basis for smart automation using decentralized control and advanced connectivity (e.g., Internet of Things). In the areas where the spirit of Industry 4.0 has been embraced, some industries have already implemented these ideas and yielded gains. Learning the principles of Industry 4.0 and having knowledge of this digital industrial revolution is essential for future engineering graduates. In this paper, a case study on building a learning factory from scratch based on the concept of Industry 4.0 is introduced. The initial achievement of a fully automated production line is presented. In doing so, a system with a smart design having smart control and smart monitoring is developed.
