Learning systems: Automation, control, and mechatronics

Technical progress ...
Through the automation of processes in the industry, automation is taking on an increasingly important role. Automation is closely related to other fields, such as drive technology, control, and computer science. Due to the incredible speed of developments, automation has become one of the most innovative but also most ephemeral sectors of electrical engineering.

... exerts a great influence
on education New industrial solutions require new didactic systems. Innovations in decentralization and visualization, the introduction of the international standard IEC 131-3, and the programming of industrial programmable logic controllers according to uniform rules are just a few examples of rapidly evolving professional sectors.
Given the requirements faced by automation specialists, it is essential today to offer modern practice-oriented learning systems that transmit to the apprentice the current state of the art technology and the required skills in its operation.
