Industrial trades
Developing essential manual skills for hands-on industrial careers
Despite technological advances and increasing factory automation, many industrial tasks still remain manual and must be performed by resourceful, competent personnel. Our hands-on training solutions support the development of important skills and abilities required for the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of industrial equipment.
If you provide training in industrial and construction trades, you probably spend most of your time in the workshop, guiding learners through practical learning activities. We support you on many levels:
Realistic, safe learning platforms
Well-designed, mobile training hardware, scaled for student use, facilitates learning and optimizes laboratory space. Students will use real-life tools and components, and learn the techniques used in the industry, for a meaningful learning experience.
Universal Transferrable skills
Each system tackles a specific set of skills required for industrial trades workers, ensuring focused, yet comprehensive coverage. The pedagogical approach is designed to allow easy transfer of acquired abilities, techniques, and knowledge in various industry segments.

FUNDAMENTALS OF MANUFACTURING (DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY)
Many manufacturing tasks involve basic skills, such as reading technical drawings, using measuring tools, moving machinery safely, and so on. How can you best impart these skills needed to work in manufacturing? Festo provides varied, practical training opportunities.
Dimensional metrology: Key product measurement skills
In today’s competitive global environment, manufacturing workers need a broad skill set to support their company’s success. Accurate measurement of product dimensions – length, angle, roundness, diameter and more – is critical in the industry to allow quality control at various stages of the manufacturing process. It helps ensure products strictly comply with design specifications. It is the basis for manufacturing quality and excellence.
Product inspection and measurement are part of the daily tasks of many maintenance and production workers such as CNC machine operators, quality control technicians, product designers, mechanical engineers, CMM technicians, and industrial mechanics.
The required knowledge and skills are covered by dimensional metrology – the science of measurement applied to the manufacturing industry
