USAGE
In the Automation Lab, we offer ESD workbenches for electrical engineering and electronics experiments as well as a fully automated production line from Festo as a learning factory. Our students learn the practical basics of electrical engineering, electronics, sensors, actuators, data transmission and control technology. In the Festo learning factory, they experience pneumatics, program Siemens control systems, optimize energy efficiency and solve production bottlenecks. Adjustments are first made to the digital twin with the help of Festo's CIROS virtualization software.
The Automation Lab also offers a selection of robots of different types for programming and operating techniques. Our goal is to prepare our students for the advancing digitalization of production by introducing them to hardware and relevant software products. The practice-oriented equipment allows students to directly apply their theoretical knowledge and develop their skills in a realistic environment.
