Expansion of ExDES Teaching System

Exeter Digital Enterprise Systems (ExDES) lab is a key part of the engineering management research and PGT education, training students to generate and implement multi-disciplinary, advanced, and smart engineering applications in student-centred, and competence-orientated ways. ExDES currently consists in an Industry 4.0 demonstrator of 8 workstations, and AGV (Robotino) and a modelling & simulation multi-platform environment. The requested goods are three more stations and a desktop computer that must be seamlessly integrated in the current configuration: - A storage system; - A robot assembly station; - A human operated station; - A desktop computer capable to process and manage the significant volume of data and the multi-platform simulation capabilities.
