Siemens Gerätewerk Erlangen (GWE)
Erlangen Germany
At Siemens Gerätewerk Erlangen the plant soldering lines need to be serviced daily or even before every shift to ensure seamless production. Maintenance consists of many steps that can only be trained live during very short periods as production is running continuously.
Virtual Training Solutions together with GWE and Siemens Professional Education have created a pilot project to train robot maintenance and swaps as well as maintenance on a soldering line that runs 24/7.
More employees can become proficient in a procedure that, so far, has been performed by automation specialists only and track the results.
Training can be conducted at any time without disrupting the running production.
Training can be done on any computer or tablet.
No need to commit multiple employees to a training for extended periods of work time to make training viable.
Trainers can focus on specific points of emphasis or parts that are difficult to understand.
The Siemens Gerätewerk Erlangen (GWE) is a large plant to produce controls located in Erlangen with around 1,200 employees. Founded in 1971, it has been continuously optimized. The main products are SINUMERIK, SINAMICS and SIMOTION and various variants. The GWE is one of the pioneers regarding digitalization AI in production within Siemens.
