Linking higher education and industry through AI-enhanced case-based learning and simulation for sustainable, human-centric manufacturing.
4SiM addresses the growing need to teach and practice systems thinking in modern manufacturing. By combining real-world cases, simulation, and AI assistants, the platform raises learner motivation (ARCS/IMMS), improves decision-making skills, and accelerates transfer of knowledge from academia to the workplace.
4SiM strengthens curricula with experiential learning that mirrors complex socio-technical realities, improving engagement and outcomes.
Companies benefit from graduates and trainees who think systemically and can act on data and human-factor insights.
Human-centric and sustainable production contributes to resilient European industry and better workplaces.
Early pilots suggest measurable gains in learner engagement and clearer links between theoretical constructs and real manufacturing constraints.
