Digital Classroom
New ways of learning

In 2019 SMS TECademy will offer
its customers a new and uniquely interactive
way of learning.

By using virtual and augmented reality applications,
training participants will benefit from a higher learn-
ing effect as for example complex maintenance work
can be experienced with a high immersion factor.

The simulated environment looks and feels to some
degree like the real workplace. Trainings at the virtu-
al model will not disturb the real plant production
schedule and can take place at any time.

Furthermore, training participants can practice
without crash and damage risks. Explore, learn and
adapt – the SMS TECademy makes it possible.

PT Krakatau Steel (PTKS) places order for SMS TECademy

Successful partnership approved

Last year, PTKS placed an order with the SMS group
for the supply of a turnkey high-performance hot
strip mill and is now counting on the professional
and high-quality training from the full-liner.

Over a training period of several weeks, the cus-
tomer’s staff will be trained by the SMS group
experts. Four large topic blocks were identified
together with PTKS. While two of the four training
groups are coached in technical topics, the other
two groups will be focusing on commercial aspects.

The totally positive feedback from the participants
pleases the team from the TECademy and the train-
ers alike. “When it comes to professional training,
the SMS TECademy is the best academy in the
iron and steel industry that I know,” says Makhfuri,
Instrument Supervisor at PTKS.
