Objective

The key to success in workshop business is the ability to economically and sustainably apply workshop automation. The design, acquisition, maintenance, and operation of integrated flexible automated manufacturing systems require expertise, which you will learn in this course.
You will learn the basic principles of flexible automated manufacturing systems (FMS) and how to participate in the design and procurement projects of such systems. Your skills will expand to include the understanding of robot technology, and you will learn to program a robot using computer-aided methods. You understand the basics and possibilities of 3D printing.
Communication and teamwork:
You will learn to work as part of a team while completing learning assignments.

Engineering practise:
You can apply technical standards and established guidelines relevant to your field in the manufacturing of typical machine parts. You can utilize the design automation chain in a workshop, from product design system to the automated manufacturing of a planned component.

Research and information retrieval:
You will be able to work in a workshop environment, designing and manufacturing simple machine parts. Additionally, you will learn to program and operate a robot in machine tool service operations.
