6

MSPL – Teaching Path

7

Individual combination of competence oriented learning objects

Application

Learn Repository for Industrial Engineers using MPS®

8

Learning Objects 4 Industrial Engineers

LO 1: Automation (2 Units)MPS components & stations – basic understanding and comprehension

LO 2: Functionality (2 Units)Degrees of automation – Szenarios, development and comprehension

LO 3: Optimization Methods (6 Units)KPIs – simulation and interpretation

LO 4: Vertical Integration (4-6 Units)VI – systems and functionality

LO 1 – Automation

Part 1aWork on stations (Group Puzzle)

Participants learn to understand the individual

components of their station. (actors, sensors)

Part 1bUnderstanding of all stations (World Café)

Students learn the structure und functionality of

each station.

LO 2 – Functionality

Szenario 1Central Station

Get to know the functionality and the criteria which

influence the output quantity.

Szenario 2Supply- and Distribution Station

Get to know the functionality and the criteria which

influence the output quantity.

Szenario 3Entire process

Get to know the functionality and the criteria which

influence the output quantity.

LO 3 – Optimization Methods

12

MPS + Plant Simulation

LO 4 – Vertical Integration

Conclusion

Modular Smart Production Lab (MSPL)

= basic lab infrastructure

+ vivid didactic concept – competence oriented

+ flexible organisation structure – learn repository

MSPL - Application for Industrial Engineers

= basic automation

+ technical + economic content

+ practical experience with MPS®
