The practical introduction to the basics of automation

As an experienced expert in automation and production processes, we will support you as you enter the world of automation. During a two-day workshop, you will learn the basics and find out how to analyze and prioritize your manufacturing potential and develop solution concepts.

Get your ticket and learn the basics of automation!

What can you expect in the workshop?

You will learn how to recognize and evaluate potential applications in your company, how to develop concepts and carry out feasibility analyses while always keeping an eye on security and risk assessment.

The practical workshop enables you to apply the theory directly in practice at various robot stations and to design, set up and program initial applications in the areas of machine loading, robotic material removal and camera-assisted sorting. You will receive valuable tools that you can use in your own production after the workshop. With SICK AG as our partner, we have an expert in the field of safety assessment at our side.
