Training Factory Industry 4.0 9V V2 - Simulation

Advantages:

Training and simulation on a realistic production replica, enhanced learning through tactile understanding Optical and sensory applications, digital traceability with NFC/RFID Integrated cloud connectivity, control via smart devices, and utilization and operation of dashboards Remote monitoring via camera possible, as well as linking production and scheduling data Integration of upstream/downstream logistics processes

The digitally-driven transformation in industrial production demands stronger networking and smarter information at all levels of production. With the fischertechnik Learning Factory 4.0, these digitization activities can be simulated, learned and applied on a small scale before implementation on a larger scale. It is a highly flexible, modular, cost-effective, and robust training and simulation model that can be used in a meaningful way.

The fischertechnik learning environment is designed for learning and understanding Industry 4.0 applications in vocational schools and training, as well as for research, teaching, and development at universities, companies, and IT departments. The simulation replicates the order process, production process, and delivery process in digitized and networked process steps.

Factory environment
This consists of the factory modules of the input and output station, vacuum suction gripper, high-bay warehouse, multi-processing station with furnace, a sorting line with color recognition, an environmental sensor, and a swiveling camera. After the order is placed in the dashboard, the workpieces pass through the respective factory modules, and the current status is immediately visible in the dashboard. The integrated environmental sensor reports values for temperature, humidity, air pressure, and air quality. The camera provides a view of the entire system through its vertical and horizontal pivoting range and can be used for web-based remote monitoring.

Each individual workpiece is tracked through NFC (Near Field Communication): each workpiece receives a unique identification number (ID). This enables the traceability and visibility of the current status of the workpieces in the processing process.

Control
The Lernfabrik 4.0 is controlled by the fischertechnik TXT 4.0 Controller on a 9V basis, of which six are installed. These are connected within the factory according to the master-slave principle and communicate via an internal bus system. The complete performance data of the TXT 4.0 Controller can be viewed at the TXT 4.0 Controller, here are the most important features:
