Improving Malaysian HE Knowledge towards a Wood and Furniture Industry 4.0 - MAKING 4.0MAKING4.0 aims to develop an innovative curriculum to modernize the current HE offer in wood and furniture around Industry 4.0 in Malaysia. Thus, MAKING4.0 addresses the aim of modernization of the HE in Malaysia, improving its quality, its relevance for the industry and the skills acquired by students. MAKING4.0 will also boost the internationalisation of HE Malaysian system. To date there is not any project funded by the Erasmus+ CBHE programme tackling only Malaysia as partner country. IN4WOOD - Industry 4.0 for Wood and Furniture Manufacturers (575853-EPP-1-2016-1-ES-EPPKA2-SSA)The EU supports the 4th industrial revolution through its industrial policy and through research and infrastructure funding. However, challenges like training workers and future professionals remain. Furthermore the furniture and wood sector has identified that it has a shortage of professionals with high qualification in ICTs and other emerging technologies. Some of the specific skills and competencies that stand out as critical for managers in the furniture sector are ICTs skills that are crucial to operate in a modern business environment. They may require attention in terms of additional training and adjustments in the official curricula. These skills and competencies are the ones that are the most critical. The main outputs of IN4WOOD will be:

Metro-Haul has taken the 5G KPIs and already determined their implication for the optical network with these 5 targets: (i) 100 x more 5G capacity supported over the same optical fibre infrastructure, (ii) 10 times less energy consumption, (iii) Latency-aware metro network in which latency-sensitive slices are handled at the metro edge ensuring the metro network adds no additional latency, (iv) End to end SDN-based management framework enabling fast configuration time to set up or reconfigure services handling 5G applications, specifically 1 minute for simple network path set-up and 10 minutes for full installation of a new VNF and 1 hour for setting up a new virtual network slice and (v) reduction in CAPEX of a factor of 10, plus a reduction in OPEX of at least 20%.

Virtualization, together with the use of the MEC paradigm, enable both energy consumption and cost reductions, and open the door to new IoT or tactile Internet services. The novelties of ONOFRE-2 are (1) the proposal of architectures, planning methods and holistic control techniques for converged access/metro networks able to comply with the requirements of 5G, IoT and Tactile Internet services, (2) the introduction of the MEC paradigm as a key ingredient to attain the previous objective, and (3) the use of SDN and NFV techniques as additional enabling tools. |
