Why is Automation Technology so important > FAQ > Why Automation Globalization The global market requests for availability, quality, reasonable prices and services. Why Automation Productivity Increase the Productivity by producing on a higher level of Automation Industrial requirements • Quality • Time • Costs are the key factors Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how

What is new with Mechatronics training Mechatronics To be able to handle automated and networked systems, a new way of thinking and acting is required – Mechatronics. > FAQ > Why Mechatronics Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements The technological part which has to be handled is called Factory Automation. Mechatronics is the perfect tool to transfer the know-how of the interfaces between the single technologies !

Definition of Factory and Process Automation Factory Automation Is the handling of solid workpieces through-out the en-tire manufacturing process, by means of in each step of the process the shape, dimension, orientation and material is known Process Automation is the control of all flowing materials, such as fluids, gas or powdery material, manual or automated processes i. e. the production, transportation, treatment and disposal. Mostly closed loop controllers are used within the Process Technology. > FAQ > What is Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements

What does know-how mean Know-how Is the combination of knowledge and skills, by means of the ability to understand a networked system and to be able to handle it in a professional and competent way. We can offer any corresponding training level you require. > FAQ > What is know-how Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements

Industrial requirements The level of Partly and Fully Automation is quite high in the Emerging markets. To keep or to increase the level of Productivity, the shopfloor and the maintenance personnel must be permanently up to date in technology. But to focus on the status quo is not enough – a good and future oriented training program must cover the requirements of the future, by means of to offer the possibility to work on new trends in Automation. > FAQ > Industrial requirements Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements

Why continuous learning Product Lifecycle Innovations and trends reduce the life-cycle of a product dramatically. Production systems have to be flexible to be able to react as fast as possible. Productivity New trends and technological developments can increase the Productivity and your standing in the global market. To fulfill both requirements, continuous learning and high flexibility of the specialists even the machine users are the keys of success ! > Industrial Training > Why continuous learning Industrial equipment Training target group Basic Technologies Fully Automation
