Integration of digital learning in industry 4.0

The emerging advances in sensor systems, automation and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for manufacturing opens new possibilities for lifelong learning utilizing data from production. The data can be source for on-the-job practical learning as well as serve as cases for more formal learning situations. This paper proposes a model for company's implementation of learning, and discusses how this implies a closer integration with the learning activities to the cyber-physical manufacturing system as a seamless, integrated ICT learning and a hybrid human/machine intelligence model where data analysis, simulations and communication are sources for not only decision support, but also continuous learning and knowledge enhancement.
