Virtual Systems



Most educational institutions rely on hardware equipment to teach technology related curriculums. Nevertheless, due to the cost of such equipment, it is quite unlikely for an educational institution to be equipped with as many hardware trainers as students, or to update this equipment on a regular basis to keep up with the ever-changing technology.
Automation Studio™ does not aim at replacing hands on training on hardware which is still a very important part in the teaching and learning process. Automation Studio™ can reproduce in a virtual environment the behavior of an actual equipment. The whole class can then create and validate their circuits through the simulation of Automation Studio™, and move on to the hardware part for hands on purpose.
The table below is an example of how, an educational institution benefits from integrating Automation Studio™ into its programs.

  Hardware Only Automation Studio™ + Hardware
Description
3 x Hydraulic & Electro-Hydraulic trainers
20 x Automation Studio™ with all modules
2 x Hydraulic & Electro-Hydraulic trainers
Price $$$$$ $$$
Training Capabilities
6 students (2 students per unit)
20 students can work simultaneously on the software. Once circuits are created, tested, and validated, they can move in turn to hands-on experience on the equipment.
Advantages
Hands-on training
Hands on training
Practical illustration of system behavior and concepts
Practical illustration of system behavior and concepts
