Industry 4.0 will work with connected machines that will know the object's production history and final demand in order to respond perfectly and independently. These connected objects also become capable of interacting with their environment.

The machines communicate with each other and adapt to the demand in real time. They are also able to contact a specialist in the event of a breakdown, who can then analyze it remotely, thanks to augmented reality glasses for example, which saves time and money for the company.

IoT systems and communicating objects are invading our environment and revolutionizing our daily lives. Connected systems are at the heart of innovations related to smart grids (for efficient energy management), smart buildings (for efficient supervision of buildings), smart cities (for coordination of services to citizens) and smart industry (for more efficient organization of production).

The engineers we train in the fields of digital factory, networks, IoT, automation and robotics, are at the heart of the challenges and evolutions of our society.

While the UniLaSalle - ESIEE-Amiens engineering course offers the greatest opportunities in the digital sector, other UniLaSalle courses approach digital technology through its agricultural applications (Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Digital and Embedded Technologies) and geological applications (Digital Geology option within the Geosciences and Environment engineering course)
