The fischertechnik learning environment is used for learning and understanding industry 4.0 applications in vocational school and training and for use in research, teaching and development at universities, in companies and IT departments. The simulation depicts the ordering process, the production process, and the delivery process in digitized and networked process steps.

The fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0 is extremely flexible, modular, reasonably priced, and highly robust training and simulation model.

Changes in industrial production driven by digitalization make stronger networking and more relevant information necessary on all production levels. With the fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0, these digitalization activities can be simulated, learned, and applied on a small scale before they are implemented on a large scale.

The fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0 is a 9V simulation model that consists of factory modules including storage and retrieval stations, a Vacuum Gripper robot, High-Bay Warehouse, Multi-Processing Station with Oven, a Sorting Line with Color Detection, an environmental sensor, and a pivoting camera. It is especially designed for exploring and understanding industry 4.0 applications in vocational schools and training as well as for research, teaching and development at universities, in companies, and IT departments.

The fischertechnik Factory Simulation combines four models --Vacuum Gripper Robot, Automated High Bay Warehouse, Multi-Processing Station with Oven, and the Sorting Line with Color Detection--into one self-contained material cycle.

Workpieces are retrieved from the Automated High Bay Warehouse using the Vacuum Gripper Robot, and then moved to the Multi-Processing Station with Oven. After the work-piece has been processed by this machine, it is then sorted by color in the Sorting Line with Color Detection, before being again moved by the Vacuum Gripper Robot to the Automated High Bay Warehouse for storage. Fully assembled training model for use with PLC (Programable Logic Controllers) and PLC programming software.
