Production SystemsLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

Upon completion of the course the student knows various systems of the machine production process from functional cells to fully automated unmanned factories. The student knows the systems design principles and is able to design a functioning production system for a given product. The student can use a functional production system and is able to participate in production development projects.

Content
