A Literature Survey of Energy Sustainability in Learning Factories

摘要

Commercial competence to satisfy customer demands requires companies to provide the necessary skilled engineering staff and fight against time to achieve that. Learning Factories (LF) aim to provide training and education so that the manufacturing facility can respond to its production aims. However, the implementation of learning factories concept is adopting different styles especially with the rise of Industry 4.0. On the other hand, sustainability concerns are becoming more serious and need to be fulfilled due to the recent climate changes. In this paper, a literature survey of the recent developments in this field is conducted with regards to energy sustainability. In particular, an analysis of the pedagogical aspect in terms of the applied learning theories, curriculum design and learning environment is explored. Further, some criticisms based on the analysis are put forward, and some research topics are suggested in relation to both the pedagogical and technical aspects.
