## Manufacturing Analytics

DATA 1065 / TEDA 1065: 2 Credits / 60 Hours

### Introduction

Welcome to Bridgerland Technical College. This course is competency-based, allowing you to progress at your own pace, while continually demonstrating competency through a variety of assignments and assessments. Specific requirements to successfully complete this course will be outlined in this syllabus.

### Course Description

The Manufacturing Analytics course provides students with experience working as a data practitioner in the field of manufacturing. Utilizing real‐world situations, they gain experience with the types of tasks which are required of data practitioners working in manufacturing. Students go through the data cycle with multiple sets of data and different situations that can arise in manufacturing situations. Students optimize manufacturing data and practice predictive maintenance. They access a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)‐driven manufacturing system to a database and process that data as though in a live working environment utilizing data analysis programs and techniques. Students who complete this course are able to work with manufacturing data.

### Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

- Apply techniques learned throughout the program on datasets from the field of manufacturing.
- Analyze data from multiple real‐world scenarios.
- Present findings using a visualization tool.
- Setup data transfer from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)‐driven manufacturing system to a database using Kepware.
- Analyze data in a manufacturing optimization scenario.
- Analyze data in a manufacturing predictive maintenance scenario.
