Abstract
In the 60’s, the first Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Software appeared. Nowadays, it belongs to the most common tools used in industry. Nowadays, digital simulations of complete industrial processes are implemented in factories. This new concept is one of the main components of the Industry 4.0 paradigm. Indeed, thanks to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and the huge amount of data produced by the different systems of the production lines, it is now possible to simulate all these systems with virtual twins. These twins are used in order to validate real industrial processes before to be built. They are also efficient learning tools, allowing the students to be trained in absolute safe conditions. In this article, we present how students use virtual industrial processes driven by Programming Logic Controllers (PLCs) programmed in Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language.
