Handling Systeme
Handling Systems Seminar
The seminar is offered exclusively in German.
The seminar ‘Handling Systems in Production’ provides a practical understanding of modern handling and automation solutions within the industrial value chain. The focus is on how companies can increase their productivity, stabilise processes and meet the growing demands for flexibility, quality and cost-effectiveness through the targeted use of handling systems.
Participants will gain an overview of the various technologies and applications of modern handling systems – from workpiece and pallet handling through to robotics and digitally networked automation solutions. The seminar will examine technical, organisational and economic aspects alike.
