Take advantage of our unique range of learning systems and technologies when designing, planning and equipping your customised learning laboratories or workshops. We bridge the gap between technical education and industry and ensure that your basic and further education programmes are focused on real industrial requirements.
The development of learning environments begins with identifying the needs of local industry, based on the existing curricula of your educational institution or specific job profiles that need to be established in the region. We offer you relevant and ready-to-use learning environments.
Whether you want to replace existing installations with new equipment or would like to establish a new knowledge topic at your training facility, we will precisely define your training requirements and ensure optimal lab efficiency through the use of flexible educational equipment.
Training for the factory of the future
Flexibility, agility, adaptability and efficiency – these are the demands production departments of the future will have to meet. To facilitate a successful transformation in basic and further education, the Industry 4.0 laboratory contains everything from individual workstations to a complete training factory. Based on the standard content used in mechatronics training, students are gradually introduced to content relevant to Industry 4.0 all the way to the cyber–physical factory. Since learning areas and needs are constantly changing, the laboratory is modular and flexible and can be adapted and expanded to suit individual requirements at any time.
Learning and experimenting with the cyber–physical factory
The CP factory visualises the practical implementation of the networked factory. It's a comprehensive, modular and expandable factory model for Industry 4.0 that can be used to illustrate many areas of the value chain. Robotino®, the autonomous, mobile robot, brings the adaptability of digital production to life.

The very first step in training and automation technology
Training in the basic aspects of mechatronics is the very first step of training in the topic of automation. All important aspects of electrical engineering and electronics, including non-solid-state circuits and electric drives, are taught in this laboratory. The laboratory equipment, which is tailored to the technology packages, includes the required power supply, mounting frames for experimentation plates and all the required accessories.
Fostering technological experience and knowledge as well as interpersonal skills
Operating and maintaining complex automated production systems is increasingly the responsibility of skilled employees and technicians. This requires the seamless interaction of all the technologies involved. The learning stations in the laboratory for automation technology form the basis for general technology training using relevant problems from actual operations. This provides the perfect platform for analysing, understanding and mastering the interaction between mechanics, pneumatics, electric systems, control technology and communication interfaces – all vital for successfully managing complex networked systems.
