Your Tour through our Process Learning Factory and FlowFactory

What exactly does ‘process learning factory’ mean?

The CIP process learning factory is a real production environment covering 500 square metres, where you can not only learn about processes in theory, but also actively implement and optimise them. It serves as a partner to industry, demonstrating current problem solutions, training specialists and managers, and providing support during implementation.

The practice-oriented approach focuses on the direct acquisition of skills: participants benefit from practice-oriented further education and training and acquire essential skills for the challenges of lean and digital production:

• Lean and value stream management: Learn how to make material and information flows future-proof with the help of digital technologies.
• Shop floor management: Improve the problem-solving process with digital shop floor management systems.
• Artificial intelligence (AI): Discover how data science and AI are used to avoid waste in production.

Beacon of production: The FlowFactory

FlowFactory takes things one step further: the research facility is dedicated to the lean production of individual products and addresses long-term trends such as digitalisation, individualisation, sustainability and the circular economy.

• Complete value stream: simulation of a complex, modular product with realistic customer individualisation.
• State-of-the-art equipment: machining centres, laser cutting systems, powder coating processes and driverless transport systems.
• Makerspace: creative space with 3D printers and laser cutters for innovations and small projects.
