“Ideas are only as good as their

practical and successful imple-

mentation,” said Dr. Kurt Stoll

once.

In the case of training activities,

this means that training must be

tailored closely to your require-

ments in order to ensure suc-

cessful implementation.

The basis for this is professional

consultancy and precise deter-

mination of your requirements.

This has been the principle be-

hind the development of our

new range of training and con-

sultancy services, which com-

prise everything from an analy-

sis of training needs through

to public seminars and in-house

training programmes, offering

the right solution for every

need.

In view of the ever-increasing

competitive pressure faced by

companies today, lean produc-

tion systems, reduced downtime

and increased machine availa-

bility are vital prerequisites for

long-term success. This success

can be achieved only if improve-

ments in production and admin-

istration are codified into stan-

dards at regular intervals and

further improved. For this pur-

pose, companies need staff who

are able to recognise potential

for optimisation in a timely

fashion, no matter whether this

relates to communication,

organisation or technology.

As an experienced and strong

partner, we can help you to pre-

pare your staff and your compa-

ny to meet these challenges of

the future.

This catalogue describes our

complete range of training and

consulting services. A new inclu-

sion is the area of process

automation, for which we have

developed a comprehensive

range of services. You will also

find an overview on page 10 – 13

which shows the target groups

to which our services relate.

This will help you to select the

right courses for your staff.

We would be delighted to be

allowed to offer you support in

dealing with the challenges fac-

ing your business and hope that

this catalogue will be the first

step towards successful train-

ing.

Introduction to Lean Production and Value Stream Mapping

Taking the form of a strategy game, this training gives you a holistic view of material and information

flows within a company and sensitises you to different types of waste in processes. You learn to analyse

the causes of delivery problems and low productivity and to develop and implement ideas for meeting

customer needs and improving processes. The main goal is to instil lean thinking in your company.

The strategy game provides practical experience for all employees involved in lean production projects.

Optimum batch size is often determined based on minimum inventory and job changeover costs.

But this approach has one critical flaw: It views changeover costs as unchangeable. This often results in

overproduction, excessive inventories, adjusted transport routes and scrapping, high cycle times and

delivery problems. This course enables you to radically reduce machine and plant downtime caused by

setup.

Experiencing technology

The Robotino® not only contains

technology, it also enables the

technology to be experienced

through a large number of capti-

vating tasks drawn from the

everyday world.

Understanding technology

Modularity means that all tech-

nical components, such as the

electric drive units, sensors and

camera, of Robotino® can not

only be directly understood but

can also be learned about

through their integrated system

response.

Using technology

Trainees integrate and apply

lots of technical features and

functions, such as electric drive

engineering, kinetics, sensors,

control technology, vision sys-

tems and programming tech-

niques.

The special appeal

The Robotino® is autonomous!

Numerous sensors, a camera

and a high-performance con-

troller provide the system with

the necessary „intelligence“.

So when it is correctly pro-

grammed, it can handle the

tasks assigned to it auto-

nomously.

The current trend

Alongside industrial robotics,

the market for mobile robots

and service robots is becoming

increasingly important. By using

the Robotino®, you will be

keeping your training in line

with a major technical and com-

mercial advance.

The chassis

The Robotino® is a high-quality

mobile robot system with an

omni-directional drive unit. Its
