Gerhard Schubert is meeting demand for courses at its Training Centre by investing in a new training machine.
Schubert opened the Training Centre at its main site in Crailsheim at the end of 2022.

The existing training portfolio was scrutinised and revised to include new formats and content and a series of online training courses in addition to the face-to-face courses.
Typical exercises that are carried out on the new and previous packaging machines include standard activities such as referencing the robots, selecting new programmes on the control panel, as well as relevant checks, maintenance, recognising and rectifying error messages and troubleshooting.
The training also covers the various system components of the training machine. From the Transmodul, F2 and T5 robots to the 3D scanner, the aim is to build up important knowledge.
Along with the digital learning platform, personnel capacities have also been increased to enable the far-reaching programme to be run continuously.
Schubert head of customer training Sarah Busch commented: “Interactive courses and explanatory videos are a great way of understanding and familiarising yourself with certain topics, but some subjects are easier to learn when you are standing right at the machine with a trainer and a small team, and you have the opportunity to get hands-on and try things out. As our previous training machines were always fully booked, we decided to invest in a further model.”
