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

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

> FAQ > What is Automation 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 pro- cess the shape, dimension, orienta- tion 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. Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements

> FAQ > What is know-how 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 pro- fessional and competent way. We can offer any corresponding training level you require. What does know-how mean Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements

> FAQ > Industrial requirements Industrial requirements Why Automation Why Mechatronics What is Automation What is know-how Industrial requirements The level of Partly and Fully Auto- mation 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 pro- gram must cover the requirements of the future, by means of to offer the possibility to work on new trends in Automation.

> Industrial Training > 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, con- tinuous learning and high flexibility of the specialists even the machine users are the keys of success !
