An open attitude toward new developments and a willingness to learn are important prerequisites for professional success. B&R therefore provides teachers at public educational institutions the opportunity to take part in automation technology seminars. We support you in preparing for new topics and course content. The B&R summer workshop has been a great success throughout its 20-year history.
Seminars
The respective 3-day parallel seminars are designed to build on each other. You will receive information and exercises related to the use of innovative automation technology. The workshops are led by experienced B&R engineers.
- The following topics are offeredThe Basic seminar is a prerequisite for all other seminars. :
- Basic seminar – Fundamentals of industrial automation
- Advanced Seminar – mapp Services and connectivity with OPC UA
- Use of digital twins – Commissioning and creating applications for virtual factories
- Modeling and simulation – Creating a digital twin with RobotStudio®
- mapp Motion – From single axis to robotics application
- HMI application with mapp View – Web meets automation
- Machine vision – Smart sensor integration
- Closed-loop control
- Integrated safety technology with mapp Safety

ETA system
ETA system
Lifelong learning is a cornerstone of our knowledge and information society. Although many situations can already be simulated during software development, there is no substitute for real-life testing. The ETA system was developed to provide a development and training environment for realistic applications in education, teaching and laboratories.

B&R tutorials
B&R tutorials
The B&R Tutorial Portal provides tutorials on a wide range of topics. Because the tutorials are interactive, they allow content to be learned effectively. To make it easier to find the necessary B&R tutorials, they are organized according to the structure of our modular training content.

Scalability, networking and customization with B&R
Each machine automation application places different demands on the hardware. To equip each variant with an optimal solution, you need both cost-effective and high-performance options. B&R offers a coordinated and scalable product range that covers all performance classes.
All automation components – the controller, HMI, drives and safety technology – are developed using a single engineering platform. Because this software is hardware-independent, it is possible to change out the hardware at any time. In addition to aiding the development process, the automation software also offers further functions, such as simulation of the application software.
B&R has been a main player in the initiative to develop and standardize OPC UA over TSN for communication at the controller and field level. The company plays a leading role in the corresponding standardization organization: OPC Foundation.
With the world's first machine vision solution to be seamlessly incorporated in the automation system, B&R takes integrated machine vision to a whole new level. The cameras, intelligent image processing algorithms and innovative lighting portfolio are an integral part of the B&R control system.
B&R technologies not only allow users to create modular machines, but also make it possible for them to produce customized consumer goods.
With our magnetic levitation technology, B&R heralds a new era of manufacturing. Shuttles carry individual products freely through the machine, powered by magnetic levitation. Gone are the days when conventional transport systems imposed rigidly defined timing on the production process. ACOPOS 6D is ideal for small-batch production with frequent changeover between products of different designs and dimensions.
