Arts et Métiers is committed to supporting Industry 4.0 by transforming its educational platforms to respond to the challenges of the industry of the future and train the key players in this transformation: Evolutive Learning Factories
Evolutive Learning Factory Logo - Arts et Métiers - ENSAM Evolutive Learning Factories (ELF) are :
Production lines representative of the industry of the future, entirely digitized and replicated with digital twins
Scalable equipment enables our students to imagine solutions to help industry mature and respond to technological and environmental challenges
Sites open to high school and middle school students to show young people what the factory of the future will look like!
Each Arts et Métiers campus is moving towards developing a Learning Factory. These connected, scalable educational spaces combining real and virtual components will help increase the level of technological, digital, societal and environmental expertise drawing on each campus’s facilities and equipment.
