Abstract

The project Open Digital Lab for You (DigiLab4U) focuses on the creation of a net-worked laboratory-based learning environment where students, teachers and researchers can access industry related laboratory equipment focusing on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0). This paper describes the alignment of the didactical requirements with the technical design and architecture to build up a sustainable remote laboratory system for study, teaching and research. The focus is on the development of a dashboard and corresponding technical integration for remote access of an RFID measuring chamber. The remote chamber will be used in the Information Logistics study program at the Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart (HFT Stuttgart) as part of laboratory exercises and will be available to other users across universities in the future. Subsequently the initial project idea is briefly described (1), technical design according to the didactical demands are outlined (2, 3) and first evaluation results will be presented (4).
