8 6 1 Reflecting industry trends in a learning environment If we examine the trending topics in the process industry, we observe the dynamic nature of production plants, the demand for personalized products, fluctuating production volumes, the pursuit of maximum availability, and the ongoing digitalization of all business processes. This dedicated process technology classroom is alleviates the workload of teachers while empowering students to cultivate independent learning and action. Through a comprehensive integration of hardware, software, and courseware, many facets of process technology are realistically simulated. The learning systems elucidate the common principles of process technology. Key elements such as measurement and control technology, including filling levels, flow rates, pressures, and temperatures, hold significant importance. 7 Introduce the Internet of Things and a batch size 1 bottling process with the IoT Kit → Page 11 8 Build complete skills in closed-loop control with the MPS PA Compact Workstation → Page 14 Extension idea: Introduce water technology with the EDS Water Management → Page 44 4 Find digital learning material aligned to professional requirements on our portal Festo LX → Page 148 5 Introduce PLC programming → Pages 112 – 115 and sensor technology → Page 118 6 Allow learners to grasp the fundamentals of control engineering with the software FluidLab-PA → Page 170 Limitless possibilities The above picture depicts the hybrid learning factory laboratory of the FACT Center in Montevideo, Uruguay.
