**Nanyang Polytechnic Open Day | Sino-German Dolang Solar Customized PV Lighting Production Line: When "Teaching Factory" Meets Industry 4.0**
Today, the Dolang Solar customized photovoltaic lighting production line made its debut at Nanyang Polytechnic's Open Day, becoming the star of the event. Showcasing the deep integration of education and industry through the "Teaching Factory" model, it offered a glimpse into the future of vocational education!
**Production Line as Classroom: True Knowledge Comes from Practice**
As a prime example of Singapore's "Teaching Factory" philosophy, this production line brings real-world industrial scenarios onto campus. Students can immerse themselves in an Industry 4.0 environment equipped with smart devices and AI systems without leaving campus, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and hands-on projects. Embracing Nanyang Polytechnic’s "learn-by-doing" ethos, students gain practical skills by participating in production line debugging, data analysis, and other tasks—directly aligning with industry demands.
**Future-Ready Tech, Cultivating Tomorrow’s Talent**
Built on the "Practical + Future-oriented" concept, the production line integrates enterprise-grade industrial internet devices and dynamic algorithm systems. It not only meets current smart manufacturing needs but also anticipates technological trends for the next five years. Staying true to the "Teaching Factory" principle of "what students learn is what industries need," the line equips learners with cutting-edge skills like industrial robot programming and digital twin applications, shaping them into sought-after multidisciplinary professionals.
**Industry-Academia Collaboration: A Global Ecosystem**
Inspired by Singapore’s trilateral synergy among government, academia, and enterprises, the model features corporate engineers mentoring on campus, faculty engaging in R&D, and student projects addressing real industry challenges. This dynamic, evolving ecosystem lies at the heart of the "Teaching Factory" success.
**Open Day Highlights: Where Tech Meets Education**
On-site, students operated robotic arms for precision assembly, while experts hailed the production line as a "textbook example of Industry 4.0." Driven by real-world projects, the initiative embodies Nanyang Polytechnic’s "Teaching Factory" vision of fostering innovation and collaboration, empowering students to tackle complex engineering challenges and redefining education through hands-on excellence.
