Objective of the retrofit: A flexible production and assembly cell that has been used for training purposes for 25 years is to be made fit for Industry 4.0. Smart, innovative technologies are to be integrated into the system and the conversion steps are to be documented for later training purposes.

Here are some keywords of the implemented technologies:

• Energy monitoring for electrics and pneumatics FFM system 
• Workpieces with product memory via RFID 
• Integrated weighing technology for incoming goods 
• inspection Industrial robotics with 3D simulation, remote control via APP 
• Programmable safety technology for safe human/machine interaction, incl. worker identification Complete 
• software consistency of the machine control to the IT level 
• Integration of touch panels per station with graphical operator guidance 
• Installation of a room-based IT infrastructure with WLAN, Internet connection 
• Remote control for remote data maintenance by Adiro 
• The system is used across all school types 

The experience gained from the retrofit is now to be transferred to the training of young people via the teachers involved! 
High goal: To give the economic region innovative impetus for the future through well-trained young people!
