The Evolutive Learning Factories ELF) program aims to transform our campuses into Industry 4.0 training factories. Find out how it is being rolled out on the Cluny campus.
The Cluny campus is transforming its educational platforms to meet the challenges of the industry of the future, and in particular to enhance the appeal of careers in the woodworking sector.
Featured project: Welding simulator
The ELF in Cluny has acquired a new welding simulator with funding from the Arts & Métiers Foundation and sponsorship from Comège. This demonstrator aims to help students discover and perfect welding techniques.
Learners have access to physical equipment (welding test pieces, torches, welding machines, etc.) onto which virtual models are superimposed using augmented reality. Everything is viewed through a virtual reality headset. The goal isto immerse the learner in a world that provides the most realistic perceptions possible, both visually and auditorily. To make the immersion as effective as possible, equipment from FRONIUS, one of the world leaders in welding equipment, was chosen.
On the rest of the campus
The Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Cluny aims to create LAB LEAN 5.0 by the end of 2026, an innovative laboratory for experimentation, observation, and teaching focused on operators and new industrial technologies. This project, which combines the study and integration of Industry 5.0 advances in industrial performance, will place people at the heart of the process.
The project is structured around four areas: training and action, research and innovation, network coordination and knowledge dissemination, and business support. It aims to place students at the heart of the system, study the impact of advanced technologies on operators, develop concrete demonstrators of the industry of the future, and strengthen the links between education, business, and research. The project already benefits from the support of the NCU RITM-BFC program (reference ANR-17-NCUN-0003).
At the same time, second- and third-year students in the Grande École Program will have access to a collaborative robot as part of their education. ROAM (Robot Collaboratif Arts et Métiers) is a demonstrator that incorporates innovative features and paves the way for educational projects combining technology and traditional know-how within the framework of Evolutive Learning Factories.
