Our Challenge

This challenge forms part of the MASSMa programme, delivered by ECIU institutions (INSA Toulouse and Trento University). In this challenge, you will use monitoring tools, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and multi-agent systems to solve a problem faced by industry: reducing the energy consumption of a manufacturing process. You will be tasked with using a data fusion system to identify the main source of energy use, boost productivity and improve the process. Working in groups of five, you will interact with a machine tool or manufacturing equipment, add sensors, analyse the data and present the results to the industrial client PadOcc (accelerator for the Occitanie region industry).

Information

This challenge is designed to give you both cutting-edge insights and practical skills in the fast-evolving field of advanced manufacturing.

You’ll develop a solution, using the tools given by the teamchers, to be able to do smart machining, preparing you to engage with the future of industrial innovation.

This challenge is part of a learning pathway co-offered by INSA Toulouse and the University of Trento.

Part I(a) is a micromodule and this Part I b, the challenge, is delivered by INSA Toulouse.

Micromodule runs from October to November 2025 and Challenge from December 2025 to January, 2026.

Part II, delivered by the University of Trento, follows from January to May 2026.

Each section includes asynchronous online lectures, interactive assignments, and opportunities for guidance during designated class hours. Assessment is based on your performance in quizzes, assignments, and mini assignments.
