Prof. Dr. Carsten Burmeister
Head of the programme
Master IT-Engineering - Smart Manufacturing
The programme's contents
If you want to deepen your knowledge obtained in your bachelor's degree course with a technical and scientific challenge, you may decide for a 3 or 4 semester programme (depending on your prerequesites) in IT Engineering at FH Wedel in order to obtain a master's degree. Most students need more semesters than this minimum, because our curriculum is rather challenging.
Our master's programme enables you to carry out scientific work and provides you with deep theoretical and analytical skills. You will acquire the techniques to enable you to solve complex problems.
Smart manufacturing is a dynamic field that harnesses advanced technologies to transform traditional manufacturing processes into more efficient, agile systems. Specializing in this area allows you to engage with emerging innovations such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics. These technologies enable real-time data analysis, predictive maintenance, and improved connectivity between manufacturing systems, ultimately enhancing production efficiency and quality.
By specializing in smart manufacturing, you'll learn to design and implement systems that streamline operations, reduce downtime, and foster collaboration across various manufacturing domains. Additionally, concepts like digital twins—virtual replicas of physical systems—allow for comprehensive testing and optimization before implementation, minimizing errors and costs. As industries increasingly recognize the necessity of digital transformation to remain competitive, expertise in smart manufacturing positions you at the forefront of this industrial evolution.
