„As an innovation leader, we bring the future of connected manufacturing and Industry 4.0 to life in our Global Production Learning Factory, and pass on these concepts through our high-quality training programmes.“

“In the training workshop, you can try out things on real machinery with real products that would never be possible in actual production.”

Planning and control are often misunderstood and operate in silos, isolated from one another. In the training facility, you can test out different concepts in a realistic setting and assess their suitability for your own production processes.

The learning factory is extremely versatile and gives you the opportunity to try out even unusual ideas.

The training workshop is so realistic because you are actually moving around in a real production environment.
