Business simulation THE BLUE CONNECTION (publisher INCHAINGE) which students will play via a web interface (in English). ECAM La Salle is a forerunner in the deployment of this game (we work in parallel with professors from HEC). The game takes place in 6 to 8 rounds, the students work in teams of 3 or 4 and each plays the role of a manager within the fictitious company The Blue Connection:
- Sales management
- Purchasing/design department
- Supply chain management
- Finance department The company sells bicycles (only one model) to 3 different customers and is in great financial difficulty.
The goal of this game is to make the company profitable while developing a circular economy. In each round, the students test and deploy a circularity or life extension strategy (maintenance/warranty, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling). In the final rounds, they must choose their own strategy, implement it and explain it in an individual report.

-Practical on PLC/sensors/actuators communication using several industrial networks.
-Definition of safety regulations
-Procedure to perform risk analysis
-Definition of drive-based and controller-based motion planning followed by practicals

This course divided into four parts. In the first part will give an overview of industrial robots basic components and structures. Part 2 depicts principles and methods of programming robots. Part 3 describes industry robotisation and robots workstations. The final part touches the safety of industrial robots and cobots.
In this course, we will explore Arm construction and drives, Coordinates systems (BASE • TOOL • TCP • Part frame/User frame/Working frame), programming methods (Online • Offline), Robotized workstations/cells, risk assessments of robotic cells and standardizations/normalizations.

Choice of topic: Students select a project topic in agreement with their supervisor. The topic can be technical (such as developing an application, data analysis, etc.).

Implementation: Execution of the project according to the established plan, with possible adjustments based on needs and unforeseen circumstances.

Write-up: Compilation of results, analysis, and conclusions into a written document.

Preparation for the defense: Preparation of a structured and convincing oral presentation.

This course is an introduction to the circular economy concept. In this course, student will learn about the 7 pillars of the circular economy with many examples.

- Innovation management for companies (different types)
- Intellectual property: patent deposit, management of patents
- General management of organizations for keeping the company's strategic advantages.
