Festo Didactic released workforce training solutions designed to build the automation skills needed to keep material handling systems running.
“What we are hearing from customers is a need for more integrated automation systems that reduce rework and integration errors,” says Brad Schulz, manager for end-of-line packaging and intralogistics, Festo. “Festo connects design, sizing, component selection, and commissioning into a unified workflow so OEMs and integrators can move from concept to a running system with less risk and more reliable startup.”
Key takeaways:
· The Festo Didactic MecLab is a compact training platform for operating and maintaining conveyors, sorting operations, sensors, pneumatics, and PLC-controlled automation.
· MecLab replicates industrial material handling processes, which allows learners to understand how the mechanical, electrical, and control technologies behind automated logistics systems integrate, operate, and are maintained in support of uptime and throughput.
