This system is used to train all the required working steps. Starting from the conception, through the mechanical assembly of the facility all the way to the programming of a fully automated production line. From the basics of individual subsystems to advanced programming and networking of entire production systems.  A multi-part car with integrated operational PCBs, chassis and different car bodies is completely assembled and “painted” on a fully automated production line. This is followed by a quality control phase, including individual labelling. Using an imprinted QR code the production sides of the products can be called up via mobile end devices. A detailed overview of all production data can be monitored. Using a QR code and AR-capable end devices it is possible to project and observe a 3D model of the ordered product on the table.

This solar trainer allows the passage of the sun to be simulated realistically. This makes it possible to conduct experiments in the lab in practical fashion without any need for the sun itself. The design of photovoltaic systems operating in parallel with the electric power grid is realistic. In order to stabilise the electricity grid, the techniques of derating the power inverter and controllable local transformers are used.
Knowledge and practical skills along with computer-based assessment of measured data are made possible by the professional photovoltaics multimedia course along with SCADA Power Lab software.

The HV battery is constructed in such a way that it can be disassembled in order to replace individual cells and sensors. In this way, the HV battery is diagnosed and repaired in an action and practice-oriented manner. Particular focus is placed on system-critical situations that can occur in the event of a malfunction in the hybrid and electric vehicle. In particular, faults are dealt with that occur on the vehicle but cannot be worked through independently during training. This includes not only the HV system and its control and protective devices, but also critical faults in the energy storage system itself. Diagnostics can be started practically using the integrated diagnostic tester. The diagnosis can be further deepened with the integrated and workshop-standard HV measuring equipment. This includes not only measurable faults in the HV safety systems, but also faults in the temperature sensors and battery cells, the practical replacement of which can be carried out. In this way, a qualification level for working in energy storage systems is also achieved.
