“Ideas are only as good as

their practical and successful

implementation.”

Dr. Kurt Stoll

Owner

In the case of training activities,

this means that training must be

tailored closely to your require-

ments in order to ensure success-

ful implementation.

The basis for this is professional

consultancy and precise determi-

nation of your requirements. This

has been the principle behind the

development of our new range

of training and consultancy ser-

vices, which comprise everything

from an analysis of training needs

through to public seminars and

inhouse training programs, offe-

ring the right solution for every

need.

In view of the ever-increasing

competitive pressure faced by

companies today, lean production

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 purpose, companies need

staff who are able to recognize

potential for optimization in a

timely fashion, no matter whether

this relates to communication,

organization or technology.

As an experienced and strong

partner, we can help you to pre-

pare your staff and your company

to meet these challenges of the

future.

• Training tailored to the

specific requirements of your

particular production process.

• Detailed training needs

analysis of your employees to

determine their current skill

levels, and to configure a

training curriculum to meet

your defined skill requirements.

• Seminars delivered at your

facility, and scheduled to fit

your production plans.

• Public seminars delivered at

conference centers and Festo

facilities throughout the

United states.

• Seminars delivered inter-

nationally, that standardize

training wherever your

factories are located.

Immediate results from

performance-based training

Intelligent automation starts

with people. Give them the train-

ing they need to keep your auto-

mated systems up and running.

Festo courses are designed to

provide essential working knowl-

edge and practical experience

which your people can put to

use right way:

• Pneumatics

• Electro-Pneumatics

• Process Automation

• Customized training for your

particular automation system

Practical, hands-on experience,

real industrial applications

Festo seminars are 70% hands-

on, using exercises to design,

construct and troubleshoot

real industrial automation

applications.

Festo has patented workstations

that put everything your team will

need right at their fingertips.

Real industrial components with

quick-connect fittings and special

mountings keep the focus on

learning.

Generic automation technology

training

This is not the vendor-product

training you may have experi-

enced elsewhere. The generic

knowledge and skills learned

can be applied to any of the

equipment in your plant.

Team learning stimulates

motivation and performance

Working together, engineers,

technicians, and maintenance

people learn the crucial impor-

tance of teamwork. Taking a

Festo seminar is a very motivat-

ing experience according to past

attendees. „It can even be fun

because your’re able to see what

you designed actually work.“

Success motivates!

A hands-on approach to learning
