“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.

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
three wheels enable it to be
moved in any direction, forward,
back and sideways, and to
rotate on the spot.

We want booking a course to be
easy and trouble-free for you.
Attending a course should bring
the participant the maximum
possible benefit.
We want to be an excellent
provider of qualification activi-
ties for you. Below you will find
a brief outline of how we go
about this.
Consultation and registration
Make sure of your place on a
course by registering as early as
possible. The number of places
is limited and registrations are
dealt with on a first-come, first-
served basis. However, if a
course is oversubscribed, we
make every effort to offer you a
suitable alternative date. Our
lines are open for telephone
enquiries from Monday to
Friday, 8.00 to 17.00.
Order confirmation
We will send a written confirma-
tion of your course booking for
your records.
Cancellation
We reserve the right to change
the location and/or time of
events or to cancel them.
Withdrawal
If there are any changes in your
company, you can always speci-
fy an alternative participant.
However, we ask you to notify
us of any cancellations at least
5 days before the beginning of
the course.
Fees
The course prices are exclusive
of VAT at the statutory rate and,
unless otherwise specified,
include the course fees, course
documents, meals and drinks
during the event. Invoices are
issued at the end of the course.
The invoice amount is due upon
receipt of the invoice with no
deductions. Unfortunately, we
cannot provide refunds for any
services not used. Liability
We shall only be liable for dam-
age caused deliberately or by
gross negligence on the part of
our employees. Any other liabili-
ty is excluded.
