- Although digitization in the manufacturing industry has been going on for some years, the recent COVID-19 pandemic helped reveal a number of bottlenecks and challenges that still need to be overcome. Joint ongoing research by a number of European Universities aimed at developing a systematic training framework on Industry 4.0 happened to be performed in the midst of the pandemic. COVID-19 meant that suddenly, internal and external workers of different educational backgrounds and in different roles had to rapidly adapt to new working procedures and environments whilst learning to use new technologies. This disruption helped this research group to generate specifications of a Higher Education Industry 4.0 Training Framework (HEI4.0) that is relevant to foster skills and competencies that make manufacturing more resilient to other possible scenarios requiring social distancing limitations. This paper outlines the details of the research performed and contributes the concept and value of establishing what is termed as the ‘flow-cognitive profile chart’ of a manufacturing organization to effectively help it in its transition towards digital manufacturing. Based on this concept, the paper passes on to prescribe a HEI4.0 Training Framework intended to guide manufacturing organizations in addressing ‘COVID-19 type’ manufacturing disruptions that can take place in other future unforeseen circumstances.

- The development of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) in the 2010s has paved the way to a digital transformation, fuelled by increased connectivity and intelligence in the manufacturing industry. This technological driven transformation has led to fast paced developments in a number of engineering fields in the past 10 years. Within higher education institutions, educators are finding difficulties to keep abreast of the latest technologies and developments in the field as complexity increases and the need for cross-disciplinary knowledge is required. This means that educators may not be in an effective position to pass on knowledge to their students who are the workers of future generations. This situation implies that there is a need for both educators and learners to be provided a tool which supports them in addressing their Industry 4.0 skills gaps and mismatches. This research therefore aims to contribute an open and digital training toolbox to educate both current and previous generations of higher education institution educators and learners in Industry 4.0 technologies and concepts.

- The development in the past decade of Industry 4.0 technologies has brought many new opportunities to manufacturers. The increased digitization of manufacturing operations has led to new modes of production and product development. This digitization has also increased the quantity of sensorial data which is easily available and which can be used to support real-time decision making. That said, with the opportunities come as well a number of challenges. Principally amongst these is a skills gap within the workforce. Without the required knowledge organisations will find it difficult and complex not only to employ these technologies, but also to develop the new manufacturing paradigms of tomorrow. Hence an innovative and effective training methodology is required to address this skills and knowledge gap. As part of the development of this methodology, this paper presents the finding of a study carried out to analyse the knowledge and skills gap, preferred learning methods and styles of trainers, current and past students in engineering Higher Education Institutions. This requirements analysis has led to the specifications for a Digital Training Toolbox, which can be utilised to support the implementation of Inudstry 4.0 technologies and organisational concepts.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper presents the ICARUS Pedagogical Framework, or Reference model to address development of innovative pedagogical approaches to overcome the actual effectiveness problems in development, acquisition and application of the required knowledge and skills for the concepts related to Industry 4.0. The aim of the Pedagogical Framework is minimum twofold: 1) to define and guide and applications of innovative pedagogical methods to explore and address the needs of HEI educators and learners, and 2) to provide a model of the pedagogical methodology design space for future development and adaptations. In the send part of the paper a contribution to the formalization of the model using set theory approach is presented as well.
