MIREA – Russian Technological University trains a new generation of engineers who create hardware and software systems for managing smart manufacturing. Combining equipment into a single system in the university’s laboratories allows creating digital twins of smart manufacturing systems that are as close to the real ones as possible. This makes it possible to develop both new software for production management, debugging, and optimisation of existing production systems and technological processes.
“We are actively developing the university’s infrastructure, creating unique megalaboratories and modernising curricula in order to qualitatively change the level of training of our graduates. The agreement will make it possible to train specialists who will ensure digital transformation of manufacturing industries through automation of production systems and optimisation of production processes, collection, storage and processing of large data arrays using the Internet of Things and cloud services, as well as development and implementation of Russian engineering software and digital platforms,” said Rector of MIREA- Russian Technological University Stanislav Kudzh.
