Bosch Rexroth launches Industry 4.0 training rigs

The Engineer:  Bosch Rexroth has launched a new range of training rigs designed to help students get up to speed with the internet of things (IoT) and Industry 4.0.

The rigs will form part of the company’s Drive & Control Academy programme and are built with industry-grade components. Aimed specifically at educational and industrial institutions, the rigs are tailored towards students and teachers as well as customers and employees, designed to assist with the adoption of Industry 4.0 practices.

The physical rigs are accompanied by corresponding exercises, eLearning, project manuals and other supporting material.

Horner Solutions Group - Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Horner Solutions Group offers a pre-programmed solution that is fast and easy to implement. No development on the user end, just a simple setup on the touchscreen and you can start monitoring and collecting data in minutes. With the ever-growing need for production data in the industry, we wanted to help bridge the gap for many production companies to be able to start collecting accurate and functional OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) data within just a few minutes of setup, as opposed to the weeks/months many companies spend developing their own solution from scratch. For any customers that may have a need outside of the typical product mold, we also offer engineering services for custom hardware and software solutions of various types.
