Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay

Reference lab

Project description

The Centre of Excellence for Industrial Automation and Mechatronics is an initiative born out of the collaboration between the government of Uruguay (Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Minería) and UNIDO.

The centre offers training that aims to improve the job and career prospects of UTU (Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay) students as well as the productivity of local and regional industrial companies.

The FACT Centre in Montevideo has four labs: multimedia and simulation; electrical engineering, electronics and power transmission; fluid engineering, and a hybrid learning factory. The FACT Centre was established in 2015.

Learning environment for:

  • Multimedia and simulation
  • Pneumatics/electropneumatics
  • Hydraulics/electrohydraulics
  • Electrical engineering, electronics and drive technology
  • Flexible manufacturing in process automation
  • Flexible manufacturing in factory automation

Instituto Tecnologico Centroamericano (ITCA)

Reference project: FACT Centre

Project description

The FACT Centre in San Salvador is a joint project initiated by the ITCA and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) to establish a dual education programme. Festo Didactic not only designed the layout of the laboratories, but also assisted with project coordination.

The FACT Centre houses three laboratories. One is equipped with basic mechatronics technology, the other two with flexible manufacturing systems using process and factory automation. One for dual education, the other for industrial training.
The FACT Centre was built in three phases, in 2008, 2011 and 2012.

Learning environment for:

  • Pneumatics/electropneumatics
  • Hydraulics/electrohydraulics
  • Industrial drives
  • Flexible manufacturing in process automation
  • Flexible manufacturing in factory automation

UDB – Universidad Don Bosco

Reference project: learning environment

Project description

The FACT Centre at the Don Bosco University (UDB) in El Salvador is equipped with a computer-integrated manufacturing system (CIM) to effectively plan and design the entire manufacturing process for industrial companies.
The flexible manufacturing system (FMS) focuses primarily on production planning and organisation.

UDB’s goal is to teach the students technical knowledge and train them to become certified specialists in automation technology and industrial automation. In addition, the centre offers courses on flexible manufacturing in industrial automation for engineers and technicians across industry.

The FACT Centre at Don Bosco houses a laboratory with an iCIM system – industrial robotics and CAD/CAM/CNC.

The FACT Centre was established in 2010.

Learning environment for:

  • CAD/CAM/CNC
  • Industrial robotics
  • iCIM
