Factory automation in the professional world Technical education – the key to success Changing requirements in industry Industry is undergoing a process of permanent and increasingly rapid change. In addition to core technologies such as pneumatics, hydraulics, and mechatronics, new subject areas are constantly being added to the competencies of factory automation through constant innovation. Industry 4.0-related technologies such as IT security, machine learning, and energy efficiency are creating new opportunities, and equally new challenges, in the factory environment. Integrating new technologies is only half the story. Finding well-trained specialists remains the decisive factor for manufacturers. Festo Didactic is your trusted industrial education partner for technical competencies and Industry 4.0 skills development. The skills gap Technological innovations are finding their way onto factory floors faster than ever before. For successful application, both existing employees and new employees must be trained accordingly. In practice, it often takes a while for new competencies to become embedded into curricula and training regulations. This process often cannot keep up with the rapid pace at which new technologies establish themselves on the market. Likewise, existing training methods often no longer fit today’s requirements for lifelong learning. This has created a skills gap – that is, a difference between the skills needed in the industry and those that employees actually possess. We are closing this gap through advanced training and development programs.
