Mechatronics System Design for Automation
Back to ServicesProgram Description
This program develops participants’ competence in designing integrated mechatronics systems for industrial automation. The training progresses from mechatronics and automation fundamentals to system requirements analysis, mechanical and electrical design, sensor and actuator selection, control architecture, PLC-based integration, system commissioning, and development of an applied automation design.
Method
Instructor-led technical presentation, discussion, and design demonstrations.
Hands-on exercises involving mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, sensor, and control system integration.
Case studies, simulation/design exercises, troubleshooting, and project-based assessment.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and automation systems.
Basic understanding of engineering drawings, electrical diagrams, and measurement techniques.
Familiarity with basic PLC or industrial control concepts is recommended.
Target Participants
Automation, electrical, mechanical, and mechatronics engineers.
Control, maintenance, manufacturing, and production engineering personnel.
Technical professionals involved in the design, integration, improvement, or commissioning of industrial automation systems.
Learning Output
Participants are able to analyze automation requirements, develop mechatronic system concepts, select appropriate mechanical and electrical components, design sensor-actuator and control architectures, integrate PLC-based control, and validate an automated mechatronics system against functional, safety, performance, and operational requirements.
Program Advantages
The program provides an integrated engineering approach to automation design by connecting mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, sensing, and control technologies into a single system architecture, enabling participants to develop practical automation solutions that are technically feasible, maintainable, safe, and suitable for industrial implementation.
