     The MPS® PA would not deserve its
     name if it was not actually a system
     with modular equipment for basic
     and advanced training in process
     automation. In the MPS® PA you will
     find simple systems for introducing
     measuring technology and closed-
     loop control, as well as systems for
     the designated target groups.

MPS®PA is based on industry stan-
dards. Automation solutions and
trends from market leaders charac-
terize the MPS® PA concept. From
manual control to a fully automated
bottle filling system.

In a learning environment like this,
training courses can be designed
for every level of training: From
general technical training through
to basic and advanced training for
technicians and engineers.

     The significance of closed-loop
     control is increasing constantly in all
     areas, since energy and resources
     can be saved using this technology.
     Moving towards efficient production,
     individual steps need to be planned,
     processes understood and verified.
     The EduKit PA modular projects pro-

Hot topic:
Energy efficiency

In the chemical and pharmaceutical
industry and in the food industry, we
find state of the art technologies that
help to prevent energy and resources
being wasted. The EduKit PA includes
scenarios in which hot topics such as
energy efficiency and environmental
protection can be illustrated.
