Module 3: Foundation of Automation
Modul 3: Automation, IoT & AI
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:16:08
Abstract
Key terms: Managed data, semantics and file formats
Objective
Module 3 we leave behind the negative images from the early days of automation. A gloomy and misanthropic image of automation - both a bliss and a curse. We get to know the positive sides and learn to apply them. How do we become a sustainable "Formula 1"?
Content
What does it take to be able to work together in a digitally networked environment? How many "techie genes" are needed to work efficiently and effectively with structured data? The third module gives an insight into the principles of data architectures, data formats, attributes and platform technology. Machine readability as an important requirement but also as a clear challenge e.g. to security requirements. The module offers the opportunity to prepare for the voluntary buildingSMART Professional Certification.
